have heard of various attempts in London and France
to do likewise within the last two years. II 10 now

Thus Sir you have my mode OF operation, so far az
dissolying is concemcd and if these results be true,
and the expense has not been great then the following
conclusions are not extravaganza lnless than one year
from the time when my patents shall have been gener.
SLY adopted more than ten millions Of gold vii be
obtained from old-bearing quartz where million Is
now obtained; and in few years Immediately follow
ing the ratio of increase must be immense beyond
cepton.
Aside from the application Of ny patents in locIi-
ties like California, where the god-bearing rock is
quarried, aim at the establishment Of factories at
Eew.York and other hsrbors, where the god-besring
quartz can be brought in cargoes from the Southern
States and Central America, and where the huidrock
Tor the articles manufactured from III can be most con-
venent for shipment. As the fluid stiicate is very
valuable for building materials and many other purpo
ees Of utility and ornament eren tie quarts around
Ne,c York. both the rock and granular without refer

to an immense change in building material, both
exterior and interior-common and uncommon

more durable, and beautiful beyond description. Even

into blocks Of any desirable shape and size. They are
made up Of variegated waste quartz rock as qusied

interspersed with mica. These are broken and mixed
with quartz pebbles, burned cslcareous argl, &c,
