Page 525 - For wall papers and brocade paints a ground mica with a high luster is required, and such luster is best obtained by using a clean light-colored mica and grinding it under water. Coarsely ground or "bran...
Page 525 - Insulation for commutators is generally cut from " amber " mica board. Scrap mica, or mica too small to cut into sheets, and the waste from the manufacture of sheet mica are used in large quantities commercially. The greater part is ground for the manufacture of wall papers, lubricants, fancy paints, molded mica for electrical insulation, etc. Ground mica applied to wall papers gives them a silvery luster. When mixed with grease or oils mica forms an excellent lubricant for axles and bearings. Mixed...

Tables Nos. 3 and 4 make two products — a finished concentrate and a tailing for the slimers. There are five 12-foot Wilfley slimers. The slimes from the five concentrating tables are brought together in a tank and distributed to four of the slimers, each of which makes three products — a finished concentrate, a...

Up to 1907, when the deep placers of Nolan Creek were discovered, mining was confined to shallow deposits. In 1909 probably 90 per cent of the gold was taken from the deep gravels of Nolan Creek. The Koyukuk district is difficult of access and mining costs are high, but in spite of the adverse conditions the value of its gold output in 1909 was...
Page 531 - Ferro-molybdenum containing 50 per cent, of molybdenum is offered at about $s. gd. per Ib. EXTRACTION OF MOLYBDENUM FROM ITS ORES. There are two methods in general use for the reduction of the ore : — The alumina-thermic process yields a product free from carbon, but containing small quantities of silicon and from 1 to 2 per cent, of iron. Alloys with chromium and nickel are also made by this process. The electrical process is worked by heating the ore in- a carbon tube, employing a current of...

Tables Nos. 1 and 2 (the No. 5 tables), make four products: a finished concentrate, a first middling which is returned to the head of the table, a second middling which goes to the Wilfley slimers, and a tailing.
