given quantity ofpowder Of gold. chemically
prepared The mixture was then roasted
upon a tile in muffle. This experiment
was repeated several times, with the follow
ing results. viz: IA, 4,16.2 % ,26,37 & 40 per
cent less gold was obtained than was Origi-
nally put into the mass
I'd. To demonstrate that the presence of
sulphur was not the cause of the loss of gold,
a given quantity of powder of gold was mix
ed with an ore Of iron, containing the oxide
of iron and and water and carbonic acid, but
in which was neither gold or sulphur. The
mixture was roasted as above, and the re-
suits showed loss of from to % per cent
of the gold dust.
3rd. Experiments with different lots of py-
rites mixed with the same sort of iron ore as
above, into which given quantities of gold
were thrown, showed losses varying from 4
to "a per cent.
9TH Gold mixed with ordinary volcanic
sulphur and treated precisely as above. lost
only four per cent probably because the
powder Of gold was so saS!eniy melted into
en- ageIaa rated mass, thai there was ao
opeof surtity lor II e RI S Of 10 rs origlaal
form with the vapoys Of the sulphur.
The unavoidable conclusion from these ex-
periments is that gold. when mixed with
substances susceptabe of Qualification by
the action of heat, voatizes with them, IN
proportions commensurate aUith the pecu-
liar condition of the bases aUih aChich 1t is
mired. The officer in his Report to the gov
ernment also states that the more heat en-
ployed in the process of roasting, the greater
was the loss of gold. 1t appears from the re-
port to be very marked fact that the loss
varied very materially with the different
qualities and conditions of the ore.
There is one circumstance noted by NJ.
who, among others, has repeat
ed these experiments, which, if correct is of
Importance. He found that by
the addition of common salt to the mass
during the roasting process, the result show
ed much less loss than aUithOut that addition !

ject in our next.

Quartz Mining.

In Grass Valley very little is doing IN
quartz, just at this time, in consequence OF
the heavy rains, which have rendered the
roads so bad, that it is almost impossible to
haul the quartz to the mills. Those who have
mills upon their veins also have been very
much inconvenienced by the unusual quanti-
ty of water which has fallen, which in some
cases even gains upon the pumps. Much
damage has also resulted from caving in of
shafts and tunnels. The hindrance however
is merely temporary, and the mills will soon
be all once more in full clatter.
MEssRs. HUBBELL q Co. have recently put
in operation quartz mill at Dnwnievile
under most fattering auspices. The mill is
on the north Fork, just above town, and runs
for the present stamps driven by water
power. Their first crushing was from sur
face quartz, mostly taken from above
ground. Whole lot crushed; eighty tons
yield 1900-Within fraction of $24 to the
ton.
Messrs James Beswick & Co., at Newtown,
Ell Dorado county, have just completed tun-
mel 260 feet long, and struck their lead,
which, according to the Placerville Ameri-
can, ''fairly sparkles with gold" at the point
opened. The lead is supposed to be both rich
and extensive, and the proprietors are taking
active measures for the early erecting ofma-
cbinery upon it.
DR.. J. S. Marlette, has struck what appears
to be a very rich vein of quartz, about one
mile east of Doaks Saw MILL at the head of
the north branch of Murray Greek. The vein
is about four feet wide, and has been traced
for two miles. 1t is on direct line with the
rich veins of Angelss and Carson's Creek
We gather the above particulars from the
San Andreas Independent.
Lovely Rogers and others, SAYS the Mari
posa Gazette of the 18th Feb, have recently
struck vary rich vein in Gentry's Gulch
about ten miles east of Coulterville, which,
from all accounts, is of marvellous richness
1t is from IL to 16 inches in thickness. Fifty
feet Of the vein has been prospected, and ev-
cry part and piece of the quartz shows gold
Mr.. Rodgers brought to Mariposa a small
quautisy of rock, one piece of which weighed
thirty-fve ounces, and npon being reduced
yielded triAe over $500.
Messrs Kennedy. Heming d Co., accord
ing to the Jackson Sentinel, nave d reqy
rich vein, near that place, which promises tC
| be the richest lode in Amador county. t.,
rock has been thoroughly assayed, and found
I TO yield Sl60 to the ton. The owners have
commenced operations on the claim in ear
nest, by sinking shaft, and erecting mill
which will be in complete working order in
week. There are six shares, some OF which
have been sold by the discoverers for $1,000
A new quartz mill is shortly to be finished
upon Bear Greek, short distance below tn
unction of Corbett's Creek. 1t will be wa
ter mill, and can run, in ordinary seasons, si7
months in the year.
A very rich specimen of decomposed quart
has been found in a newly discovered vein a
West Point, Calaveras county.
The newly discovered quartz lodges in th
vicinity of Spanishtown, give many evidence
of richness.
