900 worth Of gold. This gold is of such
a low grade that some years ago no
one would have thought of trying to
mine it. Its average is between $3.50
and So ton, and still at these low
figures it gives the proprietors 100 per
cent profit. The gold Of the Dakotas
is of a low grade, and there are hun
in Colorado which contain low grade
ore. Wagon loads of rock picked up
off the grazing fields about Cripple
Creek have assayed $22 per ton, and
old mines which have been abandoned
are by the new processes now being
worked at a profit.
THE GOLDEN ERA.
You can never tell where gold is I'M
til you find it, say the old miners, and
the prospecting which Is now being
done will develop, in all probability,
mines containing the richest of ore. as
we'll as low-grade mines. Take the
Golden Fleece mine, which now pro-
duces from twenty to thirty thousand
dollars month and has been doing so
for four or five years. 1t was located
about twenty years ago, worked for a
time and abandoned. 1t was then
sold. The buyers worked it and gave
it up as a failure. Then man named
Davis, who understood the peculiar
ores of the Golden Fleece, took an op-
ton on the property for $4,000. He ap-
piled new processes to the reduction

was put up in Australia and in 1889.
Then one was put up in South Africa
and in 1892 the first cyanide mill of the
United States was erected in Boulder
&C unity Col. There are now more than
fifty cyanide plants in South Africa
There are twenty-four in Austria
lasia and something like twenty in
different parts of the United States,
with number Of others going up all
over the world.
WORLDS BIGGEST MILL.
The biggest and most perfect of all
so far erected is that of the Metallic
Reduction Works near Florence, which
l visited the other day. Into this mill
are poured car loads Of what look like
edible stones, railroad ballast or
broken granite, and out Of it every
month as result comes a brick of solid
gold, worth $40, 900. New works are now
being added, and by the time this let
ter Is published it will be four times
as large as it is now. 1t will then be
able to reduce 400 tons of gold ore
day, and, supposing the rock to have
only one-half ounce Of gold to the ton,
it's output will be at the rate of Sc, 600
per day, or about $1,000, 900 worth of
gold per year. The works are situated
on the edge Of the Rocky mountains
within two miles of the oil town of
Florence. They look much like an I'M
mense wheat elevator or rudely built
big Pennsylvania barns, but they con-
tain the finest machinery of their
kind in the world. They suck 81 per cent
of the gold out of the rock which passes
through them, whereas the mills of
South Africa, it is said, are able to
save only from so to so per cent These
mills use petroleum as fuel, and the
Florence Cripple Creek railroad brings
the Cripple Creek ores directly to them.
A TRIP THROUGH THE MILL.
Let us now take a train load of gold
bearing rock and follow 1T through this
great mill. How the gold is gotten out
Of the mine I will describe in another
letter. Our freight cars are filled with
the ore 1t Is a mixture Of broken gran
lite, porphyry and other stones Of diff
ferent colors. There is gravel in It, It
contains dirt, and 1t is for all the world
like a pile of broken up rocks mixed
ten granite. There is not sign Of gold
anywhere. You can take up a piece
of rock from any part Of the car load
and examine 1t through q microscope
and you will not see a CLINT of yellow
or anything which to your eyes would
indicate gold. Still, that rock will aver
age half an ounce Of gold to the ton
In those car loads one atom in every
$4,000 is gold, but this atom is almost
evenly mixed throughout the whole,
and the question Is to get 1t out.
COSTLY DUST.
The superintendent Of the works tells

few places could it be mined at a
profit. Gold exists in the waters of the
sea, and the chemist who can invent
a method of getting the gold out of
the great Salt Lake will have a for
tune. The Andes are full Of gold Cen
trail America has hundreds Of aban-
ooned mines. The old dumps or waste
of the mines which the Spaniards
worked in Mexico will now be put
through the new processes for getting
out the gold, and the result will be
fortunes. There is a vast quantity Of
low-grade gold in the eastern part Of
the United States. From Nova Scotia
to Georgia runs a golden streak, which
has at different points paid for mining
Nuggets have been recently found in
Nova Scotia worth 5000, and last year
a nugget was found in Crawford
county, N. c., which weighed S pounds
B ounces. All of our gold up until 1927
came from North Carolina, and there
have long been gold mines in different
parts Of Georgia. There is a white
quartz near Washington, D. c., which
will, 1t is said, pay SIG a ton, and with
in the past year gold mines have been
worked in a small way near the ma
tional capital. There Is a gold vein in
New Hampshire, which, in 1917, yield
ed $4,000, and gold has been mined
on Manhattan Island which averaged
81 ton. There is gold in Ohio and our
mountains Of the West have, it is be-
lieved, hundreds of undiscovered gold
en- veins. In the region between the
Rockies and the Pacific so far has
been produced SO per cent of all the
gold Of the United States, and hitherto
many mines have been discovered and
abandoned, which can now be worked
by the new processes at a profit There
are valuable gold mines in the state Of
Washington, and the sands Of the Pa
cff1c ocean, from Puget Sound to the
Aleutian Islands. contain gold dust,
and in some places they are now being
PANIED by miners. There Is probably
a large amount of gold in British Co.
lumbia. the mountains of which have
not been prospected. The Treadwell
mine Of Alaska has an annual output
of more than $500,0OO and from it has
already been taken more than $780,

would have been lost had it not been
for the new processes of getting out
gold by the use of cyanide of potas-
SUM. These mines were opened first
in 1887. Up to the first of last January
they had produced about $150,000,0 900
worth Of gold and Hamilton Smith,
the great English mining engineer, es-
Inmates that there is more than a bill

in the already known fields of South

and Australia were ahead of US in

DENVER, July 23.-I begin with this
letter a series describing the revolu-
regions of the West. During the past
three months 1 have travelled several
thousand miles in the Rocky noun
tains. They are alive with prospect
ors. 1t is estimated that 1000 men are
climbing about the hills and canons of
California, Arizona and Nevada. There
are hundreds of prospectors going care
fully over the old mining regions of
Colorado, and in Utah is now being
developed a new gold region, which
Salt Lake City men claim will produce
more than enough to pay off the ma
tional debt. The gold now being mined
at Cripple Creek is enormous in guam
Colorado which are turning out for
tunes in gold-bearing rock. The new
processes of gold reduction have
changed almost entirely the character
of gold mining and within the next
few years the whole will be repros-
pected for gold.

Celebration of the oath Birthday of John
X. Sargent Of Amesbury.

AMEsBURY, March. 2.-John Kelley
Sargent, one of the oldest Free Masons in
the United States, passed his Oath birth
day yesterday at his home at Merrimac.
But few family friends were present to-
day.
A more formal observance of his ami
versary was he today, when members OF
the Warren Lodge of Masons OF Amesbury
and also of the Merrimac Lodge will cali
tolpay their respects.
Mr.. Sargent was horn at that part OF
the Merrimac known as Birch meadow.
When first married he moved to Grove
land, where he lived about 10 years, and
was engaged in shoemaking. While liv-
ing here he became acquainted with the
poet, John q. Whittier, who was then at
tending the academy at Haverhill, and
boarded In the same house.
His Acquaintance with the poet no
doubt had considerable to do with his
po itical ideas. He was frank abolition
ist, never voting anything tut that
ticket. He never missed casting his vote
until 1894, when the weather. was too
severe for him. In 1881 he was married,
and shortly after moved TO the farm
where they have since resided. Four
children are now living, including Judge

Court.
