How Gold Nuggets Grow.

From the London Mail.
IL Is generally supposed that the nuggets
which are found in the river grayeIs of
klondike and other auriferous regions
nave been brought down by the rivers
direct from the reefs in which the gold
originally lay.
Many practical miners and scientific men
however, have long been of opinion thai
THIS cannot be the case, for no masses of
gold of so large size We're ever found In
the reefs themselves. They believe. on the
other hand, that the nuggets have grown
Whefe they are now found, Just as a crys-
tai OF salt will grow in a strong brine.
put with so insoluble substance as gold
IL was difficult to understand how such
growth could take place. Experiments
carried out in Australia have shown that
decaylng vegetable matter will cause the
deposition OF gold from solutions of gold
salts but these salts are not known to oc-
cur in reefs. w
chemist named Zzigmody has Just shown
that gold itself can exist in a soluble form
BY acting on a slightly alkaline solution
OF gold salt with formaldehyde and suh
mlttlng the product to dialysis he has suc-
ceeded in obtaining gold in a colloidaI con-
d1tion, i'll which state il is soluble in water
and may be precipitated by the addition
of common salt.
1t is probable that some of the gold in
quariz reefs exists in this condition 1t
is washed out by the rain, carried away
In solution by the rivers and deposited in
the river gravels wherever there is any-
thinS containing salt to cause its nre
cipitatloh In the course of ages a large
nugget may in this way be formed.
