Formula for Obtaining the Value of Gold
Quartz

The following which we clip from an px-
change Is given as the latest and most accu-
rate method of aseertaining the richness OF
gold-bearing quartz without an actual assay ::
"The first step is to ascertain the specific
gravity of your specimen. Now, the specific
gravity Of pure gold is 10 IA that of pure
quartz is about IA. FIRST weigh the lump
in the air, then weigh it in water. taking care
that it is completely immersed, without touch.
ing at any point. The differefice in the two
weights shows the loss of weight in the wa
ter; divide the weight in the air by the diff.
ference, or last named; the quotient isNflls
specific gravity of the lump.
For example, if a specimen of quartz COZ.
tanning gold weighs in air 8 pounds, and in
water 8 pounds, the loss in water will be 3
pounds; then divided by 3 is the specific
gravity of the lump.
Now to find the quantity Of gold in the
specimen, multiply 10 IA by the weight in
air, and that product by the difference be-
tween the specific gravity of the lump and
hat OF pure quartz; divide the result by the
product of IL "a (Which is the difference be-
ween the specific gravity of pure gold and
1ure quartz multiplied by the specific gravity
# the lump. The quotient is the quantity
# gold contained in the specimen. Taking
he example: 10 l-4-10Ox9x1 -4=86, G23-1OO
and Is l-2x3=5O IA. Dividing the for
ner sum by the latter, we have 72-1OO lbs.
avoirdupolsl as the quantity Of gold in the
imp, which is equal to about % o. troy. A
ound avoirdupois is equal to about l q lbs.
roy.
The above plan assumes that the quartz
obtained in the specimen is nearly pure
hould it be porous or much impregna;ed
18th iron its specific gravity would vary from
rat of pure quartz, and therefore the result
ould not indicate the true quantity of gold.
The foregoing method is sufficiently accu.
tie to give very good idea Of the richness
specimens without determining the value
it'll the precision of an assay"

EDITOR BOISE NEWS: The great excite
ment that just now prevails all over the Pa
Cifc Coast in regard to quartz, and amid the
hue and cry that we hear of Eureka, we
have found it, or that man claiming to have
" struck the richest thing out" or this one
to be millionaire Gin feet,) | would call at,
tention to the annexed list of assays of Boise
quartz assayed in San Francisco by one Of
the most skillful assayers in the United States.
The expense Of sending the rock down, and
assaylng the same, was enormous, therefore
it would be ungenerOus on my part, if / would
not at the first possible moment hasten to
ay the same before the public, and more so
because of my conviction Of the correctness
u the same. The rock sent down was with
he exception Of the "Ada Elmore"J an av-
rage article of ore, and some pieces, as we
viii see by the different assays of rock from
be lead, would call "third class rock" Al
hough this is no standard by which to Judge
he great mineral resources of South Boise.
ct. 1t to some extent establishes the fact Of
re vast richness of that country One ton
ore from the Ada Elmore. Ophir. Ilsme-
llda and other lodes, sent to San Francisco
r assay, would bring up all the capital that
lturas county would possibly want to deyel-
, the vast extent of its mineral wealth.

Senator Conness, Of California, elected ss
. War Democrat, has lately planted himself
on the snti.slavery platform. In
a passage at arms with Senator Salisbury,
of Delaware, Ms. CONFESS said, touching .
proposition to exempt non conbatants from
military service: ,
This is Quaker's war !; war OF NOR
al forces against the institution of slavery.
The South undertook this war to rear, up
a negro empire upon its proposition that
slavery was right and essential to the exist
euce Of society. A part Of their PROPOSE
tion was to tear down our government and
build up their slave-breediug s,issosrsey on
its ruins. We accept their propositions, sad
say they ehall neither build up their edidee
nor tear down this government Of freedom
established BY our forefstbers. A citizen,
whether Jew or Gentle, Quaker or Catho-
lie, be be what be may, cannot perform
a higher duty than TO 60 to the field and
tight bis country's battles for the preserva-
tion Of human liberty There is a means
prepared for exemption. He was opposed
to this exemption for conscience sake. He
believed the safest and trucst way to Heav-
en- was to strike n rebel wherever you can
reach him."

THE LEGISLATURE.

This body still lives, and from appearances
will soon be deeply absorbed in the election Of a
United States Senator, to the neglect of import
ant legislation. Some bills of importance hare
been passed, but others of pressing Importance
have been defeated.
The bill limiting County Commissioners to an
assessment of not more than five mills has been
defeated in the Senate because County Commits
sioners are now required by law to discharge
certain duties which require that more
should be assessed. Whether the Senate will
attempt to modify these laws. if they exist,
which require the County Boards to squander
the peoples money. remains to 0e seen.
The necessities of seven-eighths OF the counties
of the State demand an entire change of county
organization, and not mere curtailins of the
most unnecessary expenditure. d Still, if the
system is to remain. let us have it so curtailed
and guarded that it can be borne with little
longer. If reform is out of the question, then i:
it clear that the present system of State anG
County organization, must run the State and thi
people helpessly and hopelessly under. 1
Facts and figures do not lie, and that tn,
people of the State will long remain passiv.
under system which is fas: eating them up il
presuming more on the good nature of the people
than past history warrants. They demand
reform and if this Legislature will not give it
one must be elected that will. JVN.
