Promoters Claim Gold Refining Process Will Revolutionize Mining
A San Francisco chemist group discovers a gold refining method claimed to extract gold from ore previously deemed waste. A new company, led by president F J Abbott, plans on-site smelting plants at mines to produce bullion with no shipping costs. The process allegedly heats ore in a revolving oven, injects chemicals, and uses steam to desulphurize and oxidize ores faster than current methods, potentially reviving Nevada mines and reducing freight by local smelting.
