Roasting Tailings at Old English Mill Proves Effective
After years of trials, tailings at the Old English Mill are now worked by roasting with sulfur and common salt, then processed in amalgamating vats. Nine tons per day are roasted, with six men on the furnace across three eight hour shifts, and two on the pans. Assays show about 14 ounces of silver and four to six dollars per ton in gold, with total returns estimated at eight to twelve dollars per ton. Professor R D Jackson oversees assays to fine tune roasting for best results.
