Excerpt from Notes on Gold Extraction: By Means of Cyanide of Potassium (Macarthur-Forrest Patents), As Carried Out on the Witwatersrand Gold Fields, Transvaal, South Africa
From the monthly statistical returns of the Witwatersrand Chamber of Mines, and from other sources, most people interested in-the progress of these Fields have obtained at least a very good notion of the importance to the mining industry of the part played by the Cyanide process of gold extraction.
The following table shows the increase in returns from Milling and from Cyanide treatment respectively, for theflast five years: -
From the time of the introduction of the process in 1890, previous to which an occasional heavy thunder shower, which carried a few thousand tons of tailings down the creeks, was looked upon as a perfect godsend, to the present, when deposits of 3 dwt. tailings are either being worked or else hugged as a valuable asset, the increase in output from cyanide plants has been marvellously rapid and steady.
