It was to be one of the greatest gold mines in the world. All that it required was more development. Now, it was to have a huge mill to handle vast quantities of low-grade ore; then all it needed was cheaper power, so it must have electric equipment. Again the milling results were not good, and what it demanded was the cyanide process.
But this is like saying that cyanide of potassium kills because it is a 'poison, or that it is so cold to-night because it is 'winter, or that we have five fingers because we are 'pentadactyls. These are but names for the facts, taken from the facts, and then treated as previous and explanatory.
In 1900 new machinery was put in and new methods were adopted, such as treating the tailings with cyanide and so saving much of the precious metal from them. From the beginning the Comstock mines have been so ready to follow improved methods that they have been called the mining school of the world. Great quantities of silver are used for making jewelry and for tableware.
When Delbruck finally gave a permit for the export of four thousand tons more of cyanide, the psychological moment had passed and we could not obtain through our State Department a pass from the British. I am convinced that Delbruck made a great tactical mistake on behalf of the German Government when he imposed this prohibition against export of goods to America.
"A half-hour ago, while I was talking to that that poor creature before you came up I was quite aware of being like a woman with a dose of cyanide of potassium in her hand, and doubting whether or not to take it. Well, I took it. I took it and I died. That is, the Edith who was your wife died. What survives of her personality is something else.
All right now! You might like to know that cyanide gauze is a good thing to put on a wound supposing anything should happen to yours " "Oh, don't!" she protested. "I do hope and pray Robert will never be bitten by a dog. Was it a big dog?" "Fair," said Edward Henry. "So his name's Robert! So's my eldest's!" "Really now! They wanted him to be called Robert Philip Stephen Darrand Patrick.
A solution of cyanide of potassium and other chemicals of known percentage is run over the pulp and left to stand a certain number of hours, depending on the amount of metal to be extracted. It is then drained off and another charge of the same solution is used, but of less strength, which is also drained.
I think that explains what the chemist discovered; no more, no less. The cyanide theory does not fit." "One chemist hinted at nux vomica," volunteered the coroner. "He said it wasn't nux vomica, but that the blood test showed something very much like it. Oh, we've looked for morphine chloroform, ether, all the ordinary poisons, besides some of the little known alkaloids.
Motto, 'In Hoc Signo Vinces. There'll be no sign of the cyanide jar. I'll have nothing sinister shadowing; the Butterfly Man's escutcheon!" She knew nothing about the trust St. Stanislaus kept; she had never met Slippy McGee. Laurence at last hung out that shingle which was to tingle Appleboro into step with the Time-spirit.
The ox bellowed, and turned his great black eyes on my father, and I fell in a faint." Miss Laura turned away, and Mrs. Wood followed her, saying: "If ever you want to kill a cat, Laura, give it cyanide of potassium. I killed a poor old sick cat for Mrs. Windham the other day.
