ABOUT PROSECUTORS.

A grizzled old prospector against
whose wrinkled brow the storms Of
many years had beaten, was last night
lamenting the dccadence of the ira
dtional old time prospector and the
usurplng of his place by the eastern
tenderfoot, relates the Butte Inter
Mountain. This picturesque charac-
ter Of ye olden time is rapidly disap-
pearing from history and in his place
comes a hardy race OF younger men,
with college education, who can cover
twice the distance and undergo as
many hardships and priyations as the
pioneers nf 40.
A week ago young man Of this class
arrived in Butte from IA prospecting
expedition. He made several valu-
able locations on his trip and being
we'll up in chemistry he had made all
his own assays during the season.
He did not carry any elaborate outfit,
but the tests he made were sufficient
for every purpose. His asSaylng outdt
consisted Of a small bottle Of iodine
and a small bottle of carbonate Of
ammonia. A blow pipe and a small
mortar with a porcelain dish and a
few sheets Of filter paper comepleted
the outfit. When he made a discovs
cry Of gold-bearing quartz if it was
free oxidized ore like hematite he
took little of it and after pulveriz-
ing it placed it in the cup. Then ne
added enough Of the solusIon Of
iodine to cover the contents. After
allowing It TO stand for two hours or
less, If very rich ore, he tried flltcring
paper in it. Ifitgaye purple color
after being burnt it contained gold,
and the deeper the color of the paper
the richer the ore. In making a test
Of iron pyrites he Grst pulyerized and
then roasted the ore over an ordinary
camp Are. 1t was duh red heat at
tlrst and then raised to cherry red.
This decomposed the sulphates that
were formed and placed the ore in
the same c0ndljlOn as IN the Tree ore
test. In limestone districts a little
carbonate Of ammonia was added to
the charge and the roasted ore was
heated again until the carbonate OF
ammonia was decomposed. This pre-
vented the lime in the ore from ia
terferriag with the test. For silver
bearing quartz ne used the blow pipe;
first procuring a small quantity of the
quartz, he bored a hole in soft stone
and put the pulyerlzed quartz into it.
A little test lead was mixed with the
ore and melted with the aid Of the
blow pipe until it was covered over
with Stag. The resulting lead button
was then cupelled and If it contained
any silver, little silver button would
be left at the bottom of the cupel.
