a Great Victory
A Terrible Case of ScroTuIa
Cured by
Hoods SarSaparilla

50 In the winter of 1879 was attacked with
scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually eXuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost ntolerable to endure. 1t Is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, l was worse than ever
Finally, on the recommendation of w. J.
iuntley, druggist, of Lockport, was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. Aud now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months. the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees and
beautifully less ! do not know what IL may
nave done for others, but do know that iii

The other day, however, while some repairs
wero in progress at the sub-treasury building
it became necessary to clean out the roof
cutters that had become somewhat ciogged
with the dirt and dust that had gathered for
tho two or three years preceding The
workmen shoveled the dirt down into the
aleyway between tho two buildings, when
Assistant Superintendent Martin, of the as
say office, who is always on the lookout for
leakages and possible recoveries, caused a
sample of dirt to be assayed, and found it to
be worth something over $50 per ton. There
was about half a ton of this earth, which was
at once conveyed to the barrels where tho
sweepings are thrown, and the government
is Just about SIS ahead on the transaction.
Other buildings in the neighborhood which
have not been cleaned off in years, doubtless,
contain pay dirt even richer than that from
the subtreasury building.
Mr.. Andrew Mason, superintendent of the
assay Office, laughed when he was asked if
there was not enough of the metal on the
streets by this time to pay to sweep it up and
work it, and replied that even if all that
had fallen for years still lay on the ground
the amount would be SO small in com
parison to the trouble and expense Of
gathering and refining it that it would not
be a paying undertaking. Moreover, the
ordinary street cleaning operations had taken
most of it off and the rain had washed most
of the balance into the sewer. But still u
little could always be found The percentage
of loss is intinitesimal, he said, but the aggre-
gate for several years would, he thought
make quite a presentable sum. New York

HOW Cold ana SILVER IL Lost and Found
Again In the Assay omce - Methods
Employed for tho Recovery of Escaped
| Metal
During the year 1886 over s4S, ,OOO. 600 in
gold and nearly S7,OOO,OOO in silver passed
| through the assay Office in this city TO be re-
melted, refined and cast into bars. All this
vast quantity Of metal is passed through a
complicated process to separate it from alloys
and haser metals, and even to separate the
gold from the silver. 1t is melted in fur
naces, treated with acids and chemicals, re-
duced to u liquid state, washed in many
waters, cast into molds baked in ovens and
culted from one portion Of the building to
another dozen times before the process Is
completed that turns the golden and silver
grains Iuto bars of standard finencss on which
is put tho government stamp of the number,
weight and value. In the course of this long
p1N'eSs some particles of the metal are nee
eSSarily lost at different stages OF the work
While in tho powdered state some of it will
sift out upon tho floor, in the liquid cond-
tion it viii cvaporate and float away in the
air; and in the melted state portions will be
carried up tho furnace chimneys and out of
doors.
The actual loss is of course but a small per-
centage of the whole amount handled, but
III the aggregate amounts to a considerable
sum, and every possible effort is made to re-
duce the amount of loss to the lowest posi-
bic figure The care that is taken may be
understood by the fact that every day or two
the floors of tho assay building are swept
thoroughly and the sweepings, placed in bar
rels until sufficient quantity is gathered to
put it through process to extract such por-
tion of the metal as is possible without too |
much expense But, even al ter that, the re- |
fuse, or tailings, is not thrown away, but |
sold to what are known as sweep smelters, |
men who purchase the sweepings from Jew |
elry workers, as well as the assay office, and |
by their more expensive, but perfect method
Of fusion, are able TO extract even another
small perSentase from the unpromising ma
