It is somewhat remarkable that the study of lithology and mineral ogy is taken up by so few iu the mountainous portion of this State. where the nature of the industry de- mands that a more general knowledge should prevail of rocks. and minerals, and where the natural advantages for it's study are so extensive Min ing men should be able to distinguish the ordinary kinds of rock and ore to be met with, yet but few do~ To most of tbem the country rock is ali granite" and the term 'Ihornbiendep Is applied promiscuously. Very few are enabled to tell carbonate of lead, and but few minerals are more easily distinguished than this ore. They will carry specimens hundreds of miles to determine whether 1t is a carr theanate, while one versed at all in

Losses in Gold by AmalsaIn
 at.On.

Among those working gold mines 1t Is found that gold caDuot be sut1i- ciently treated, causing large loss by smalgamatlon. The gold "a some cases is found coated superhclally ol ailoyed wijh substauces which pre- ysALA iA,4 contact N u mercury. oucu gold is called "rqSsy." l. Is ire- uuSntly vtrtd WIlE Uroanlst coating abd the color Is much d Tker than that of pure gold. The appear aace of these coatiI Igs are very lrreg
 ularly caused by abrasion, showing often the free gold-and where such a spot occurs full amalgamation will take place, but otherwise the coated gold will he lost. The ex- planstion to this gold coating could be found in a superficial action of sorus SIostIls3, yll;I TAf3 , lilJia

crush the whole mass and 1t will be
 found well paying, as those coatings
 by the crushing, cranks off from the
 pieces of gold making the gold free
 acceptable for amalgamation. l
 have seen such coated gold pieces in
 the gold mines of Columbia, Sourh
 Amerlca. where I expected the large
 loss in the mill operation, but after
 careful inspection of the tailings, l
 have found nuggets of gold coated
 with sllicate of iron. This silica was
 mostly in transparent state of
 opaque color, and the metal gold
 could be seen disseminating through
 it.
 This surrounding silica prevents the gold from amalgamation, and such gold particles are carried of
 with the rock when 1t has not been sufficiently fine crushed. This IS the cause of lose of natural coating. But in the separation of gold from it's ore are several mechanical causes which | render more or less loss, too. The | gold particles in the quartz are some times fattened under the shoe of tn, stamp, aud then the soft gold be- comes hard-closes the pUres-in creases the density of the metal, and ,uch pieces are floating over the mercury without being attachr d from 1t. The most gold Ill fine sheets (plaI gOld) Is hard to save; first, by Its light floating condition. and second, as such gold IS generally brought t. ;bis form by mechanical influences is hardness. Another mechanica ."ss III amalgamatlon Is often oc ;urred by the effect of ''grea {" useo for the stamps, etc. In all mills tine greatest care should be taken with grease or oil.
 When auriferous pyrites are iu combination with gold quartz, Hnd both crushed with water-this water will dissolve some sulphur-and such water will cause another oss of gold. Other enemies for uccessful amalgamation are mag .esia" and "alumina," which are oating the gold with slime, and by his prevent the action of the mer- ury.
 Water used in the stamp mill not ure, especially containing sulphur ted hy drogen or other soluble sul- hide, causes large loss on gold JD.
 In the gold mines in Columbia l Jund that the work with the ar2s- 'as bad remarkable advantages over Le stamp mill. From auriferous uartz rock assaying $80 per ton, 1 lved $50 to S60 per ton, whereby the amp mill operation with the same Il ind of rock SIS to $20 only could be ] btained. In Park county, Colorado, l the celebrated Montgomery gold strict. where a ton of honeycombed old quartz assayed from $500 to FOO, only $50 to S90 could be saved. Paul Lana hammer.
