gest nuggets in streams where the
powders are large. Where the streams
are fine gravel the gold is generally
small and scaly. The biggest nugget
ever discovered in this country was
taken out of mine at Carson Hill,
in CalaveraS county, Cal. 1t weighed
1875 pounds and was worth more than
$43 600. A number of other large mug
gets were found in this same region,
ranging in value from $1,000 upward.
In 1855 a nugget of gold was discovered
in Sierra county, Cal, worth $10,0
and in 1850 a mass of quartz and gold
was picked up in Tuolumne county
which was worth 100000 Outside Of
California some of the biggest Jumps

WONDERFUL AFRICAN MINES.
Through the mining engineers whom
L have met here in the West and in
formation which has recently come to
the director of the mint at Washington.
I am able to give some facts as to the
mines of Africa which are making such
change in the gold product of the
world These gold mines are a sur
prise to biologists. One famous man
said that he would have rather ex-
pected to find gold in the fens of Scot
land than in the Rand district of South
Africa. William Weston, a leading
mining engineer of Cripple Creek, and
a graduate of the Royal School of

ed through the rock that not d CLEAN
nor CLINT of them can be detected by
the naked eye. According to some
scientists this gold has been deposited
in the form of gas. Ages ago, say they,
there was 49, eruption in the bowels
or the earth at which time this gas
mixed with gold rushed up through the
vertical assures with great force and
soaked its way into the porous rock
in which the gold is now being found.
II was by this means that the little
bits of gold were dropped throughout
the rock, the precious particles being
SO small that they could not be detect
ed. Many of the old miners had no
idea Of their existence. and their eX-
traction now is only possible by means
of the cyanide process. There is plenty
of gold in salt water. Scientists say
that gold is generally diffuSed in the
waters of the ocean, and one eminent
chemist states that the sea water of
the British coast contains one grain
Of gold to every ton of water. The
proportion is much larger in the Great
Salt lake. and the man who can invent
cheap process of getting out such
gold will have a fortune.
Few people have any idea Of the
queer forms in which gold is found.
Dame Nature is the most wonderful Of
jewelers., and she has decorated the
bosom of old Mother Earth with gold
in a thousand different shapes. I saw
a box Of gold nuggets and crystals
taken from the Little Johnnie mine
near Leadville. Many of them would
have made beautiful brooches without
redecoration. Some appeared frosted,
and others had been torn from the
rock in the form of sheets and plates.

ASSEMBLY HALL BULLETIN.
Meetings to Be Held by Organized

When Organizer Heimerdinger, If
the American Federation of Labor, was
in St Paul short time ago, advocat-
ing the formation of local union label
league, he made the statement that
fully 95 per cent Of the manufactured
articles Of all kinds on sale in this
riety. This is a remarkable statement,
when it is considered that ST. Paul is
we'll up near the top of the list of what
are called well organized cities,'' but
the truth of it will become evident to
any one seeking union label goods. or
the dozens of labels representing as
many callings established throughout
the country, comparatively few are
known to the local buyer. While there
may be no difficulty in finding union
made cigars, and it is possible to OBJ
tain label-bearing hats and overalls.
there is not another article of wearing
apparel, not mentioned above. to which
a union label is attached to be had
in the city. 1t has been said that a
sufficient number of cigars are annual

St Paul to employ 5000 men. while

Gold is also found in cubes and eight
sided crystals are common. Some of
the gold nuggets from the California
mines are shaped like moss. The Lit
tie Johnnie has produced a great deal
of wire sold. l have seen bits of rock
from Cripple Creek upon which. when
subjected to an intense heat, the gold
would bubble out and stand up like
little gold pin heads upon the dark
stone. Gold in it's natural state is
usually mixed with silver. The new
Utah gold deposits are associated with
arsenic. In the Mercur mine you find
quicksilver, and in South America it
is sometimes mixed with bismuth.
PLACER MINING
l have spent some time watching the
placer miners in different parts of the
West. Placer mines was the chief
source Of gold production in the days
of 1S49. 1t rs still carried on. but the
output is much less than in the past.
The chief placer mines of today are IN
Siberia. where the earth has some
times to be dug up in a frozen state
and melted before the gold can be ex-
tracted This is the case in some parts
of the Yukon river mines. The fact
that there Is a gold placer is an evil
dence that there Is gold-bearing rock
near by, and miners pretend to tell
from the character of the gold of the
placer as to the nearness of the gold
bearing rock from which 1t comes. II
the gold dust is very fine 1t IS sup
posed to have been carried a long dis
lance If coarse, it is thought that
the lead is not far off. Some of the
