There is a basic need for the health and safety manager to know what work he or she is to do and how to do it in a more professional way. Peter F. Drucker in The Practice of Management said, "The ignorance of the function of management, of its work, of its standards and its responsibilities is one of the most serious weaknesses of an industrial society-and it is almost universal." The biggest need in mining today is for its managers to have a thorough understanding of the management control activity.

Cobalt recovery from arsenical concentrates by pressure leaching and reduction involves special methods and operating problems. Principal steps in the process are auto-oxidation acid leaching under pressure, filtration of the tailings, purification of the solution, hydrogen reduction of the ammoniacal solution, and electrical furnacing for sulfur removal and granulating the metal. Extracting cobalt metal from arsenical ores has presented a major metallurgical problem for many years. In acquiring the Blackbird mine near Salmon City, Idaho in 1943 Calera Mining Co. accepted the challenge to solve this problem.

COPPER sometimes is added to steel and cast iron as an alloying element to improve or impart specific properties. However, in some steels it exerts an impurity effect in impairing response to fabrication by hot working and deep drawing. The resid-

WAGNERL described the thermodynamic behavior of a metallic solution consisting of the solute components 2, 3,... at very dilute concentrations in the solvent, 1, in terms of the excess partial molar free energy, or alternatively the logarithm of the activity coefficient. In the Taylor expansion of FiE, by neglecting the second- and higher-order differential terms, he obtained the excess partial molar free energy as a linear function of the composition:

The fact that the loss of silver in the slag of the smeltingprocess increases with the amount of silica in the furnacecharge, was probably the ground of a general opinion that the silver is present in the slag as a silicate. Dr. Iles, in his inter-

A PAPER presented in South Africa' during 1925 by H. A. White gave a formula to express the efficiency of classification. The formula was originally developed by H. W. Newton of The Dorr Co. The derivation of this formula is as follows: Where E = Over-all efficiency of classifier Eu = Efficiency with respect to sand discharge Eo = Efficiency with respect to overflow I = Tons feed to classifier (input) 0 = Tons overflow U = Tons sands (underflow) i = Fraction of oversize in classifier feed o = Fraction of oversize in overflow u = Fraction of oversize in sands

Discussion of the paper of CLARENCE A. WRIGHT, presented at the St. Louis meeting, October, 1917, and printed in Bulletin No. 130, October, 1917, pp. 1565 to 1591. H. A. WHEELER, St. Louis, Mo.-This paper by Mr. Wright is one of the most thorough and exhaustive studies that has been made of the milling practice in the Joplin district. Mr. Wright spent about two years there, in behalf of the U. S. Bureau of Mines and the Missouri Geological Survey, and this paper, which is the result of his work, will, repay careful reading by any student of ore dressing and is invaluable to an operator in that district.

Leaching of the block caved mine from 1941 through 1970 is described, and the improvements made are listed. Detailed is the increased knowledge of leaching gained through this operation, including methods used in forecasting production, prediction of the economical end point, rate of recovery, and ultimate recovery.
