A BAR OF PURE GOLD.

Uucle Sam is preparing n stan
d4rd for puro gold, according to
the ST. LOUIS Drmocrat. 1t will
take Tie form Of bar weighing SO
ounces. This bar will be cut into
several pieces, one Of which will be
given to each of the United States
miuts and assay Offices A slice
will also be sent to England for
comparison with the British stan
dard Of pure gold.
1t soems that no absolutely pure
gold has ever beeu procured in THE
country at all events. none Of
which there can be certainty.
The standards now possessed by
the various mints differ somewhat;
not one of them is surely free from
lmpuri!y. For the purpose of ex.
actness in assay work, it is desired
to have a standard that i, Gs
Caesars wife should be above
suspicion.
The bar th 1t is to be is BOW il
quil. The so ounces OF gold are
in chemical solution at the mint
in Philadelphia. The yellow me-
tai thus dissolved was extra fine to
begin with, having only one fourth
of one per cent of impnrlty. The
impurity WAS chiefly silver. The
g,,ld was rolled to very thin sheets
and then put into tank OF aqua
ieoia and hydrochloric acid.
The solution of gold made in
this way was diluted with 20 gal
Ions Of distilled water. In that
condition it now remains, a thin,
but precious liquor. pulsr the
action Of the acid the silver falls
down to The bottom Of Tie taul In
a white cloud. At the end of the
month the clear liquid will be
drawn off carefully into TASKS,
without stirring, go as to leave the
silver impurities behind. Sui

it TO throw down the pure metallic

But many processes have yet to
be gone through before the gold
will be considered chemically pure.
