THE TREATMENT OF SULPHIDES.
■» 1 By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright. E Sydney, January 8. 1 Under instructions from the Melbourne directors of the Sulphide Corporation, a portion of the works at Cookie Creek, New- c castle, has been shut down for an indefinite I period, it having been found unprofitable * to further continne Ashcroft's patented E process for the extraction of zinc from g Broken Hill ore, owing entirely to the low t grade of the ore treated. e The process itself worked admirably, and o had the expectations with regard to re- | ceiving higher grade ores been realised, * proof is not wanting that it would have re- J turned a handsome profit. The process has j not been entirely abandoned. It is hoped E at a future date to work the electrolysis i department at a profit. The present 1 stoppage is due to the representations of c the preference shareholders in England. Forty men are but of employment. ;
