possibly not so free as that in the las

all been with the ordinary stamp mill,
using copper plates for saving he solo.
The last ork showed saving of about 20
per cent of the gold, while at the beginning
but 40 per cent was saved. cons:derdble
portion OF the gold that is not free is found
in white carbonate of lead, ana another
portion is found in a heayy black IRON,
either of which can be readily saved by
