Gold Mining.

Gold mining in the northwest is fast
assuming an Importance that few peo
pie would ever have dreamed of five OIL
even three years ago. From the placers
of southern Idaho to the gold-ribbed
mountains of northern Kootenay, re-
ports are daily pouring in of marvel
ons finds of the yellow metal and mar
velous strikes in the mines that are un
dergoing development.
Not many years ago, and even to day
in some localities, mining is looked
upon as speculative pursuit only a
few steps removed from gambling
Science and improved machinery has
changed all this, and to-day mining
takes its proper place as a legitimate
and, in most cases, profitable industry.
Mining eXcitements of the present
time are not like those of thirty or for
ty years ago. People have grown more
cautious and it is rarely indeed that a
mine or claim is sold for more than it
is worth. A prospector finds what he
considers a good showing and stakes
out claim. He does a little work on
it and taking a sample of the ore, shows
it to some party who has little ready
money and perhaps sells it to him for
a few hundred dollars. The party who
buys, knows from study and experience
that little more work on the property
will enable him to show up the ore body
SO that he can perhaps sell it for a few
thousand dollars or if he has money
enough to continue development work
it may bring him hundreds of thous-
ands. There is no blind rushing in and
paying thousands of dollars for piece
of land simply because it happens to
lie near paying mine or a number of
paying mines. People are past that
stage and now they demand something
in return for their money.
The possibilities offered by mining
to-day are attracting greater and
greater amount of capital every year.
1t opens up vast possibilities for ac-
quiring wealth or at least competency
by small outlay of capital. There
are, undoubtedly, many wild cat
schemes and doubtless always will be,
but the investor is becoming more and
more careful and the day of successful
validating is becoming Il thing of the
past-Spokane Chronicle.

Simple Ore Tests.

The following simple tests will show
whether an ore carries any precious
metals. Afterwards samples of the
rock should be assayed to ascertain the
amount of value per ton:
Gold-Powder; roast if sulphurets
are present; grind very fine and wash
in pan or spoon; examine with lens;
yellow particles not soluble in nitric
acid. The color of pure gold is bright
yellow tinged with red Gold may be
distinguished from all other metals or
alloys by the following simple traits {:
1t is yellow, malleable, not acted upon
by nitric acid.
Silver-Pure silver is the brightest
of metals, of a beautiful white color
and rich luster.
Chloride of Silver-If suspected in
pulp, harshly rub Il bright and wet
copper cartridge thereon. If chlor-
ide or chloride-bromide of silver, it will
whiten the copper. Graphite will thus
whiten copper or gold but can be rub
bed off.
Copper-After roasting the pulp, in
timately mix and well knead with
like quantity of salt and candle grease
or any other fat, and cast into the fire
when the characteristic colors first
blue, then green-will appear. This
test is better made at night.
Galena-Black zinc blend is often
mistaken for galena. The two may be
distinguished by the infallible sign;
the powder of galena is black; that OF
blende, brown or yellow.
