Wherever stamp mills have been operated owners have tried in vain to prevent the loss in values caused by the very fine gold floating on top of the slimes and from being carried over the amalgam plates and concentrating tables to the stream. It is to prevent this loss that the Eureka process is intended, and this is accomplished by injecting gas—the formula for manufacturing which is covered by letters, patent—into the pulp in the battery. The effect of the gas on the pulp is to dislodge minute globules of air that may adhere to the finer particles of gold, while the effect on the slime is to cut it as lye does grease. The result is that every particle of metal, no matter how small it may be, if it have metallic weight, is precipitated so that it is brought in contact with the amalgam plates and is there caught by the quicksilver, or passes on to and is served by the concentrator. What is true of its action on gold is true of its action on silver, copper, lead, iron and all other metals. Interior View of Nolan’s Hardware Store Nolan Bros. Hardware Store The process is easily applied, the plant consisting of a blower which forces air through a chemical mixture, contained in a galvanized iron tank where it becomes charged with chemical properties and thence passes into the batteries. The cost of treating a ton of ore is about one cent. With the Nolan Brothers as promoters of the above described machinery, and possessing all the zeal and prudence by their long lives in mining and its interests, the results of their efforts here indicate that Park county will at no distant day fall in line with the older districts. They gladly answer all correspondence of persons desiring to visit Park county, and who are seeking information regarding prices of anything in their line. The National Park Bank, Successors to the Bank of Livingston. Early in the spring of 1882, it became apparent to the shrewd business judgment of H. H. Mund of the firm of Stebbins, Mund & Co., prominent throughout commercial circles in Dakota, Wyoming and Colorado, that Livingston, though then but a small town, needed and would support a bank. He therefore, established a branch here under the efficient management of A. L. Love. It being the pioneer bank of the
