Info Title:
Chlorination Mill of Portland Co. Will Opened About May 15
The new chlorination mill of the Portland Company will be opened about May 15. It was built at Colorado Springs by the Portland M. & M. Company and will have a capacity of 300 tons a day. This can be increased, however, should the output of the mine warrant it.
graphic for visual presentation of text The opening of this mill is an event of great importance in the mining world. The fact that it is built to handle the output of the Portland mine alone is a striking proof of the greatness of that property, and its completion makes the company entirely independent of the smelters.
graphic for visual presentation of text The new industry will give employment to a large number of Colorado Springs workmen.

Portland Gold Mining Company— The annual report is very elaborate, and shows the company to be in good shape financially with good ore reserves. The new mill at Colorado City has saved the company about $1.60 per ton on the 40,000 or more tons handled during the time it has been running, making in all about $60,000.

Info Title:
Colorado City Mills Runs Protected
The Standard and Portland mills at Colorado City are running under the protection of troops. The refusal of the Cripple Creek mine owners to stop shipping ore to the mills will doubtless result in a miners' strike unless it happens that the unions of Cripple Creek will refuse to recognize the authority of the Western Federation of miners and stick to their work. It is generally admitted that this strike is a fight to a finish between the Western Federation of Miners and the mine owners, and mill operators of Colorado, and that the struggle has but started.

Stearns-Rogers Manufacturing Co. Suit Against Portland Gold Mining Co.
Portland Gold Mining Company.—The Stearns-Rogers Manufacturing Company has brought suit against this company in the United States Circuit Court to collect $54,045.67 alleged to be due on construction of the Portland chlorination mill. The money is alleged to be due on several contracts. A part of each of the total amounts has been paid, but the complaint states that a part of each yet remains unpaid and uncollected.
graphic for visual presentation of text The manufacturers were to furnish the plans, provide a superintendent for construction and to furnish certain parts of the material used. For the furnishing of plans and supervising of construction the manufacturing company was to get a certain per cent of the total cost. The entire works are alleged to have cost about $700,000, the manufacturing company furnishing about $112,772 of one kind of material and $52,383 of another kind. There is charged to be due $24,991 of the percentage for plans and construction, the balance of the amount sued for being on the material furnished.
graphic for visual presentation of text The objection of the Portland Company to paying the claim, has not been made public, though it is understood to be faulty construction of the mill and non-fulfillment of contract.

Portland Mill Completed a Cyanide Plant
Denver, Colorado.
graphic for visual presentation of textCompetition Between Cyanidation and Chlorination.
graphic for visual presentation of text With the 16% reduction in the output for 1906 for the Cripple Creek District, compared with that of 1905, has come a corresponding pressure for the reduction of treatment charges. Cyanidation has locked horns with chlorination in what promises to be a death struggle and all who are interested are anxiously awaiting the outcome.
graphic for visual presentation of text The Portland Gold Mining Co. is just completing a 400-ton plant for fine grinding in cyanide solution in tube-mills to treat the tailing that has been accumulating from its chlorination plant. This plant is supposed to contain $2.50 per ton, hence a handsome profit is expected. One tube-mill is lined with silex blocks and it is planned to line the other with cast-iron liners, which will furnish a useful comparison.
graphic for visual presentation of text Altogether, it seems as though cyanidation were destined soon to triumph. Bromo-cyanidation will now have a fair chance, and it would not be strange if it were to make a better showing than it has in previous trials.

Chlorination of Cripple Creek Ore Lost Out to Cyaniding
In the early days of gold milling in the Cripple Creek district the cyanide mills were worsted in the competition with the chlorination works and, for many years, the latter held the field.
graphic for visual presentation of text Improvements in cyanidation, however, altered the conditions, and the cyanide mills are now undoubtedly ahead.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text Emphasis is given to this conclusion by the fact that the Portland company recently decided to change its mill at Colorado City, having a capacity for the treatment of 10,000 tons of ore per month, from the chlorination to the cyanide process.
graphic for visual presentation of text This will leave the United States Reduction and Refining Company with the only chlorination mill in the field, and three of its chlorination mills are idle.

Portland Mill Left Chlorination for Cyaniding
THE BATTLE of the processes has been nowhere waged more vigorously than in Colorado, where chlorination and cyanidation have competed with varying success during two decades for preference in the treatment of the ores of Cripple Creek.
graphic for visual presentation of text Cyanidation is the victor, for it has been apparent for several years that the application of tube-milling and cyanidation to the tailing from the chlorination plants had placed these in a humiliating position. The Portland Gold Mining Company has recently changed its mill to cyanidation.
