according to managing director W mont
ferry will have an excellent opportunity to
investigate the merits of a large amount of
first class slightly used mill equipment
which is available there will be some
equipment including motors shafting pul-
leys and other machinery which can be sal-
vaged from the old mill for use in the new
plant by buying with discretion the cost of
the new plant it is believed can be re-
duced to a considerable extent in compari-
son with the cost of erecting a similar mill
a year or so ago when prices were at their
peak
As the foundations of the old mill were
uninjured by the fire but little construction
of masonry for the new plant will be neces-
sary according to officials of the company
the flow sheet which has been prepared for
the mill provides for the treatment of ore
with jigs tables and flotation undersize
material from the jigs and crushers and jig
tailings will pass through rolls and be con-
cent rated on tables tables tailings are to
centrated
be crushed in ball or roller mills for the
flotation cells 0ore bins will be partitioned
for oxidized and sulphide ores
