dumped side by side with it, Superintend-
ent Mason would as likely as not be ar
rested for throwing ashes into Wall street.
But the golden sand and the silver
ashes have yet many hands to pass
through before the Office is ready to re-
polt as to the quality and fueness of the
metal. 1t is next saturated with hot
water and allowed to stand half an hour.
Then it is snoveled into copper-ined

Queer stuff to make cheese of, it iStrue,

Naming a Town.

When F. H. Heald settled on the
Machado Ranch, near San Diego, CAL,
and began to build Elsinore, then un-
named, he was puzzled about the chris
tening. What should he call the coming
city by the lake and springs2 Finally
he choose Lake something or other-a
long compound--but the postoffice au-
thorties would not have it. They wrote
Mr. Heald that one word was enough
and sent him list to choose from. He
took Elsinore, and few days afterward
announced the fact to old Senor Mach
ado. The aged don was for moment
nonplussed. "El Senor," he said ;
(which senor do you mean, yourself or
myself" yourself, of course" replied
the diplomatic Heald. And to this day
the Machados believe that the name
Elsinorc is but gringo corruption of
"El Senor," the senor who owned the
original property.-Argonnnt.

Through Superintendent Mason's kind
ness, however, the photographer of this
paper was allowed to take all the pictures
he wanted save one. In the Assay
Office, as in Bluebeard's palace, there is
one room into which the public must
not look through the medium of the
camera. Of course, that was the room
of which photograph was most desired,
but Mr.. Mason thought 1t best that it be
PISSED. He thought it would be ill ad-
vised to furnish enterprising burglars
with photographs of room containing
over $10O, 100000 in solid gold and
silver which is only protected by half
dozen massive steel doors and small
army of watchmen, fully armed. But
for the information of such as may con-
template trying to force their way
into this impregnable stronghold, it
might be we'll to say that the bars of gold,
piled Up like building stone in wall :
are so heavy that that.tt!h2ey thsyy-1eoeutll could not be
hat0ed. Il tie opportunity to try to take
them away were allowed; so it is safe to
presume that they will remain where
they arc, we'll guarded and in absolute
security, rs they have been for thirty
years past.
The Camden journal. [volume] (Camden, S.C.) 1866-1891, 1890-03-13

After the silver bars had been weighed
they were taken to number of furnaces
in al other department, where the weight
of silver was added to half its weight of
gold, making mixture of cne-third gold
and twn-thirds silver. When in molten
state the workmen Grew forth the white
hot crucibles from the furnaces, dipped
into them with shallow ladle, and with
deft twist of the hand tossed the
molten metal into vats filled with water.
So expert ARE these men in this work
that the metal, when removed from the
water tanks, is in thin, curly shavings,
much like the turnings from lathe.
After the silver and gold shavings, if
such they may be called, have been al
lowed time to cool they are taken to the
top of the building, in the rear, where
the boiling vats are located. They are
great cauldrons of copper, set in masonry,
and contain perhaps, forty or fifty gal
Ions of solution of sulphuric acid. The
metal shavings are placed in these boil
ing cauldrons in proper quantity and
boiled for long time. Then the de-
coction, which is of a. bright bluish-green,
is syphoned off to vats on the floor below,
where it is put through another and an
other boiling until it has been thoroughly
cooked seven times. Tten it is decanted
off into other receptacles Lined with cop
per and having suspended across them
bars of sheet copper. The copper COL
lects the sulphur from the bath and pre-
cipitates the gold while the silver, still
in solution is carried off to other vats.
1t is put through number of chemical
processes until it is finally precipitated,
and the solution in which it last was is
decanted off. The gold precipitate looks
like coarse dirty building sand, and if a
pile of it were dumped in the street in
front of the Assay Office it might lie there
for month before any one, other than
mineral expert, would think of touching
it. And if the silver precipitate were

In this peculiar building on Wall
street is located the plant of the United
States Assay Office, branch of the Gov
ernment the Importance of which cannot
be overestimated. It is the Mecca of all
the tourists and sightseers who visit the
metropolis, and its workings are matters
Of the keenest interest to- every govern
lnent of civilized people on the face of
the earth. It's tests, when officially au-
uounccd, stand in all parts of the world
without challenge, and in the domain
of business, wherein the precious metals
hold much sway, its word is incontro-
vertible.
But if the famous old house is curious
outside, its various departments within
are still more so. Superintendent Ma
son, who has been in dhargc of the
office almost since its inception, Is the
authority for the statemeas that no pho
tographs have ever been taken within its
walls. True, magazine articles have
been written about il, but the illustra-
tons used therein were simply sketches
taken here and there of some particular
objects upon which men were at work.

Rings on Their Toes.

George B. Dexter, of Boston, when at
the St. Nicholas the other day, exhib-
tied among his friends some gold and
silver rings of very artistic design and
finish but Of uncommonly large size for
finger rings. Mr.. Dexter explained that
the rings were not for the fingers, but
the toes, and were the kind worn in
Algiers. He had secured them on re-
cent "trip abroad. The articles were ex-
amples of native skill and the workman
ship would compare very favorably with
the best work of the most skilled jewel
ers anywhere, Cincinnati Times Star,
The Camden journal. [volume] (Camden, S.C.) 1866-1891, 1890-03-13

The engine was stopped and the drum
was released. AS it dropped down of its
own weight glittering disc of gold was
revealed beneath it. 1t looked for all the
world like bright, rich cheese. 1t was
weighed and placed in drying oven to
destroy the last traces of moisture.
"That cheese" remarked Mr. Brunner,
"you can have for S36, 900 ii you will
carry it home"
The silver granules are treated in the
same manner in This room, and when all
are thoroughly dried and baked they go
to the melting room on the first floor of
the main building, where the beautiful
cheeses are broken up with a sledge
hammer and melted in gigantic cruciblcs
of plumbago. The molten metal is run
into bars, weighed when cooled, num-
bered, stamped and registered, and at
last, after portion has been assayed in
the room above, is stored away in the
big steel vaults to remain until it is
needed at the mints for coming or by
manufacturers for making watch cases or
jewelry
In the assay rooms everything is con-
Quoted upon a very minute scale. The
small samples, taken from various lots of
metal in the meltirg room, are here sub
mitted to the tests by which their fine
ness is determined. Little crucibles made
from bone dust are used TO melt the
metal. Whatever weight is used for as
saying-usually only fraction of an
ounce-is represented as 1000 parts. The
weight is taken to the '1-100Oth Of
grain, and after the assay has been made
and the metal tested in the various tech
nical ways in vogue there, the residue is
weighed. The missing parts represent
base metals or dirt, and are deducted
from the whole as originally weighed.
Gold or silver therefore, that is .999 fine,
contains but one part in a thousand of
base metal, alloy or dirt. And this is
what some of those bars of Mexican bull
ion showed when they were put through
the various processes herein described

The Natural Home of the Human Race.

Man instinctively turns to the tropics
with sure inspiration, for his body
knows, if his brain does not, that here,
under the brilliant SUN, here in the warm
southland, man originated. 1t was Grant
Duff, I think, who recently wrote that
no man had been literally educated till
he had passed some part of his life IN the
tropics Here one feels as if admitted to
natures laboratory, here she began her
experiments which we call eyolution, the
result of which was man. Down N TIC
TERRA caliente, the hot country, air,
earth and water teen with life. There is
inexhaustible vitality derived from the
ardent sun. Agassiz records that the
Brazilian tribes are models of perfect
human form, for the sun is sculptor,
shaping everything to beauty. One sees
how true this is when looking at the men
and women of the terra caliente. Even
little higher up in the terra templada,
or temperate country, one sees clearly the
effects of the constant sunshine. How
supple and strong are the shapely women !
How broad chested and vigorous the
well-nourished men! Where grow the
sugar cane and the coffee tree, where
flourish the fig and platano, there man
also increases in strength and in physical
perfection.
In the tropics the existence of "nerves"
is unknown. What jolly good thing it is
for tired Northerner to lie for hours on
a bench in q sun warmed Mexican plaza
and breathe in the perfumed air! And
how, after days of this most pleasant
regimen, man begins to feel that it is
good to live. He forgets the cares OF his
business or professional life; he learns,
under the magic influence of the tropics,
and theology arc not worth the price Of
the paper they arc printed on, and he
finds his nights sleep sweet and refresh
ing.-Boston Herald.

There was quantity of Mexican silver
bullion received at the Assay Office the
other day, and its peculiar shape and the
size of the bars were such as to call forth
comment from those who handled 1t. Ihe
bars, or slabs, were about twenty inches
long, an inch or more in thickness, and
eight inches wide. Each of the bars was
curved like barrel stave. This pc
cularity in shape. Mr.. Graham OF the
weighing room said, was to facilitate the
packing of the bullion on the backs OF
burros. The bars contained silver ana
gold iu unequal weights. They were
very heavy, some of them weighing elgh'
or nine kiogrammes. The process OF re-
fining and aszaying this metal is an IN
teresting one. 49,,
In the weighing room, which IS IN
charge of Mr.. Graham, stand an immense
pair of scales, towering up to height OF
perhaps ten feet and stretching out thei
gigantic srns fully as far laterally. Ihe
scales, although immense in size, are 50
delicate that they will accurately Welgh
l-1OOth OF an ounce or 10000 ounces. ::

in charge of this department from the
day the Assay Office was instituted, stood
at the throttle of his engine. He had
lust filled the drum in the press with the
saturated gold sand and was in the act
of applying the power when the visitor
entered. The drum in the press is twelve
inches in diameter, and fourteen inches
deep. 1t was filled to the top and packed
tightly when the solid piston head en-.
tered it. Slowly, almost impcrceptibly,
the drum assembled and the piston was
forced into it. The gauge on the en-
gine began to register the pressure.
Assuming the cake of metal to be
trihe less than foot in
diameter and to contain 113 square in
ches of area on its upper surface, the
gauge showed that it was receiving
frightful squeezing. The hand pointed
at 5000 pounds to the area when the
machinery had been IN motion half a
minute. Thirty seconds later 10000
pounds pressure was recorded, yet the
engine ran mcrrily along without
squeak or jar. There wasn't sound
to indicate that the powerful machine
was doing anything beyond running its
own fy wheel. Then 10000 pounds
and 10000 pounds were recorded and
still the steel finger moved on. 1t was
almost agonizing TO watch it. The pres
sure OF that terrible engine can almost
be felt in ones imagination; 40, 600, then
$4,000, and the grim engineer lets his
hand steal gently TO the throttle of the
great machine. 1t is now running
trile slower, but just as quietly as before.
The dome full of golden sand has risen
almost foot, and it seems that there can
not be drop of water left in it, yet that
merciless machine keeps on, and the I'm
ger on the dial marks more and more
pressure. 1t has reached 56, 900 pounds,
or more than 500 pounds per square
inch. What steam boiler was ever made
that could withstand such pressure! yet
this little brass cylinder in the press had
withstood that awful power OF twenty
tons thousands upon thousands OF times.
