"In complete reports from the
i^ouisburg market in the Old
Bright Belt indicated that this
market would have led the State
with an incomplete average price
of $26.82 per 100 pounds being

mit their December sales report
does not give Loulsburg any of
ficial rank as the highest price
market," Rhodes said.

.averaging $26.17 per 100 lbs.,,'

SDCCESSFUL DEMONSTRATION
RECOVERS 90 PER
FLOUR GOLD
Test Sample From Portis
Mines; Demonstration
Witnessed by Many In
cluding Mining Engineers
Of Long Experience; New,
Method Gives Promise of
Revolutionizing Gold Min
ing For Fine Powdered
Gold
Proving its claims that the)
Hurrp-Up Equipment will product?1
greuter results in taking gold
from the original dirt the Ora- 1
Fina Amalgamation Co.. of North
Carolina, conducted a successful
demonstration at its plant on
South Main Street Saturday after- j
noon, when it recovered up to 90
per cent of" the assayed value of j
gold from a lot' of ore brought in 1
from the Portis Mines in Western
Halifax and Eastern Franklin
Counties by Mr. J.- C- i?itell?r, of ,
Essex, engineer In charge of the i
mines. This recovery showed a
value upon the ore brought in of j
H5 per ton. or approximately 30 ;
per cent more than the latest',
present day equipment.
The equipment consists of reg
ular mining ^machinery until rea- :
ching the last operation, which is 1
especially prepared to recover the
flour gold, something fhat has not .
been saved heretofore. It has
long been known to science that :
the recovery of this fine gold from j
the dirt and clay deposits was a ,
problem for chemical manipula
tions. , a satisfactory method of'
mining and using having never!
been discovered before. Mr. R. 1
W. Stoddard who has discovered)
and developed the secret of recov- ;
eriiig this tine powdered metal, is
in charge of this plant and holds
the secret of this method to revo
lutionize the gold mining indus- 1
try, certainly in t>he area where
the powdered or flour gold is
predominant.
This demonstration was wit
nessed by quite a number of per
sons, among whom were Messrs.
Frank B. Simpson, Paul Smith
and Chambers Smith, of Raleigh.
At the conclusion of the Dem
onstration Mr. Stoddard and Mr.
Pearce were heartily congratula
ted upon the success of the me
thod and wonderful interest was
expressed at the results.
