Dealings in Gold Dust.

/ " days Of California What was called
black sand composed principally Of iron,
was always mingled TO greater or les
degrse with the dnst when il was brought
10 the buyer. This had to be blown out.
and often the finest particles OF gold were
blown cut with H. Thus in an Office
where large quantity Of the dust was
brought much Of the fine gold would be
scattered around the room The duSrinys
ofa buyer counter and sweepings Of his
floor were often worth hundreds Of dol

Once miner. who believed 3 buyer

peculiar manner. He had pair Of brase
stlrruI~ weighing tive pounds. Every
time he sold dust to the buyer he fled
portion Of the stirTuTe among ii till he
had Ezlmed of the whole Of them for
gold dust.
The Chinese have always been the
most successful manufacturers Of counter
fe.t gold dust. Many lot Of bras or
iron filings, plated with gold, has been
sold by them to unsslspecting buyers. Of
late yean this has been less pracficszi.

from accompany Of Chimes miners His

similar character afterxani led almost
All buyers TO put their balance scales IN

In the early days Of California life

The miners carried II in long bGekskin
purses This compelled ali kinds of bslsi-
