These slime tables produce from 1% to 3 tons of concentrates a. week,as- saying from ($00 to 2,000 ounces of silver per ton. This is said to be a new departure and one not employed at any of the silver mills in the Coâ€" halt section. in general the jig tail- ings being discarded and the fine sil- ver contents lost.
