Extraction of Gold and Silver Without Mercury
From Butte ores a practical test shows silver extracted without mercury. A sample from Germania lode assays 64.984 ounces silver per ton with lead, yielding 91.00 percent efficiency. N L Turner outlines future experiments and large‑scale reduction plans for manganese rich districts and ore processing methods. Bishop Whipple and Bishop Tuttle discuss Indian government policy, urging disarmament, abolition of tribal structures, and war department control with missionary work to Christianize Indians.
