A Dispellel Dclusion.

The shining metallic incrustation
found upon the teeth of some of the cat
tie which are pastured along the banks
OF the Carson river has been popularity
pronounced to be a coating of gold and
silver deposited upon the teeth from the
mineral impregnation of the water and
grass, attracted through the magnetic
action of the animals body. Some of
this bullion incrustation or deposit was
submitted recently to Professor F. e.
Fielding, chief assayer at the Consoli-
dated California and Virginia assay office
in this city. Upon critical analysis of
the material he pronounces it to be pure
calcium sulphide, with not the least trace
OF either gold, silver or quicksilver.
Thus another hopeful delusion is dis
