How to Wash Gold.
Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please give the process for washing
gold. Also tell me how to distinguish the
nartjcles of gold from any other glitter
ing specks which may be in the pan.
j. II.
The simplest method by which gold Is
extracted is that of washing the alluvial
deposits. the sands of rivers, &C. There
are various modes of effecting this, ac-
cording to the resources Of the gold
washers, but in all cases the separation
of the gold from the earthly matters
depends upon the high specific gravity
of the gold Q9.9, the lighter earthy
matters being carried off by the water.
l. The washing is conducted in shat
low iron or zinc pans.
q Sometimes the deposits are thrown
upon a sloping plank or table with shall
low grooves cut across 1t, when the
grains Of gold settle down into the
grooves. and the earthly matters are
carried on by the stream.
8. Long, shallow troughs of wood are
employed by some gold-washers, lined
at the bottom with coarse baize, or with
tanned skins with the hair upwards.
The grains of gold become entangled
I'm these, and. when the earthly matters
have been washed away the Innings
are well-beaten over a tank of water to
remove the gold.
4. A "cradle" has been extensively
employed. This is a wooden trough
about six feet long, resting upon rockers.
At the head is a grating, upon which
the alluvial deposit to be washed Is
thrown The end Of the cradle is about
four inches higher than the other, so
that a stream of water entering 1t flows
through, and escapes at the lower end.
left open for this purpose. carrying the
earthly matters with it, leaving the parti-
cles of gold. with a small quantity or
the earthly matter, in the trough. These
are swept out into a pan, dried, and
freed from the lighter matters by blow
ing upon them.
The glistening specks which may re-
main with the gold are particles of iron
or copper pyrites. The brittleness of
these particles will serve to distinguish
them from the particles Of gold, the
latter being highly malleable.
ANY particles of magnetic oxide re-
naming with the gold may be removed
by means of a magnet.

How soon this mightiness meets

One Of the great occasions in the worlds
history was the Field of the Cloth of

Each following day

Made former wonders its. To-day the

All cinquant. all in gold, like heather

they
Made Britain India. Every man that

Not used TO toll. did almost sweat 10 bear
The pride upon them, that their very
labor
Was cried Incompatible. and the ensu-

Made it fool and besgar. The two
kings,
Equal in lustre. were now best, now
worst.

Still him in praise; and being present both
