MARK Twain ON the Gold Bearing
Water--ilOw lie Worked the Caltstoga
Springs and what He Knows About
Wonderful Goid-Bearin ing wind.
Mark Twain writes to the New York
ironing Fost in reference to the recent
account from California about gold in
solution in the Calistoga spIipls, and
about the pr prietnr having extracted
Sl,O60 in gold OF the utmost Gueness
from ten barrels of the water" during
,he past fortnight hy process known
only TO himself. This" Mark says,
will surprise many OF your readers,
but 1t does not surprise me. for once
! owned those springs myself. What does
surprise me. however, is the falliug-off
In the richness of the water. In my
time the yield was dollar dipperful.
| am not saying this to injurc the prop
erty, in case II sale is contemplated /
am only say ing it in the interest of his
tory. 1t may be that this hotel proprie-
tors process is an inferior one-yes, that
may be the fault. Mine WAS TO take my
uncle-l had IN extra unc,e at That time,
on account OF my parents dying and
leaving rim un my hanis-and fill him
up, and let him stand fifteen minutes to
give the water n chance To settle well,
then insert him in an exhausted receiver,
which had the effect of sucking the gold
out through his pores. l have taken
more than eleven thousand dollars out
OF that old man in day and half. /
should have held on to those springs but
for the badness of the roads and the
difficulty of getting the gold to market.
l consider that gold yielding water in
many respects remarkable; and yet no
more remarkable than the gold bearing
air Of Catgut canon, up there toward the
head OF the auriferOus range. This air.
or this wind-for it is kind OF trade
wind which blows steadily down
through six hundred miles of rich
quartz groupings DUNG an hour and
a quarter every day except Sundays, is
heavily charged with exquisitely fine
and impalpa6le gold; Nothing precipi-
tates and solidifies this gold so readily
as contact with human resi- heated by
passion. The time that William Abra-
hams was disappointed in love, he used
to step out doors when that wind was
blowing and come in again and begin
to sigh, and his brother Andover j.
would extract over dollar and n half
out of every sigh he sighed, right along.
And the time that John HARRISON and
Aleck Norton quarreled about Harbi-
sons dog, they stood there swearing at
each other all they knew how-and
what they didn't know about swearing
they couldn't learn from you and me, NOT
by good deal-and ri the end of every
three or four minutes they had TO stop
and make dividend-if they didn't
their jaws would clog up so that they
couldn't get the big nine syllabled ones
out at all-and when the wind was done
blowing they cleared up just little over
sixteen hundred dollars apiece. / know
these facts to be absolutely true, because

person could buy a water privilege al
Calistoga now at any price; but several
good locations along the course of the
