fo1ns, as OXIDES, snlphides, chlo1ides, ETC.;
sometimes mined with lead, whom it is
called Ga}ena: ore nearly Always mixed
with moro OF less gold, and occasionally
with copper. Hoocurs in quartz Of clear,
white color, which is diversified with black

Of The richest 1odea in Ne7udA arc largely
composed A peculiar stain, somewhat re-
sembliug that left BY the burning Of gun
powder, in tbs ssAms of quartz, is
an almost infalhble indication OF sil-
yer. When rock thus stained is sub
jected to the beat Of blacks1nith's forge,

into xater, small sa1ni-globu1es Of silrer
viii appear on its surface. There are other
forms Of Aiive1 ore, such asruby silver, horn
silver, ETC., which are occasionally met
with.
Some prospec:ors carry with them in their
expeditions chemicals and apparatus for tho
purpose d assaying orea- Il is hardly
necessary TO say that, unless the operator
is pretty we'll ve1sed in netallurgical science,
.;,.ch test made in prospector's camp can
al best be imperfect and unsatisfactory, It
is also difficult to carry the requisite mate-
rials on a prospecting expedition without
less or damage Unless one who intends
to prospect for gold and silver ores
practically acauaints himself, as
preliminary step, with simple
methods of assayirg, verbal instructions
will be Of little benefit to him. But lei him
carefully examine all specimens Of ores that
are accessible to him, and ascertain their
values, and a brief experience among the
mines will teach him to recognize at sight
mineral bearing rocks and approximately es-
innate their respective values. In the ab-
