this trick They insist upon securing
their samples by blasting under their
own eyes.
If the miners engaged In blasting are
easily bribed to work in the interests
of the mine owner, it is not a difficult
thing to salt the mine under the very
nose of the metallurgist Holes are drill
led into the rocks at places marked
out by the expert. When the dyna-
mite stick is inserted into the hole the
mud taken from the hole is often used
to tamp 1t. If swindie is intended
small particles of gold are mixed with
this mud when the expert is not look
ing, and after the explosion the gold
is distributed through the rock and
quartz In such quantities that the ex-
pert Is amazed. The explosion drives
the gold into the rocks, and makes it
appear for all the world like a natural
deposit. Usually this gold Is obtained
from some rich mine, just as nature
put it in the earth, so that under the
microscope 1T shows no marks that will
suggest its coming from gold coins
There are scores Of swindles perpe-
trated every year in some Of these
ways.
ASSAY REPORTS DUPLICATED.
Another common method is to sell a
mine upon Its record. Such mines have
some gold, and the owners begin to
establish a record for it in a way that
dazzles some who are not experts. The
first output is assayed and then the
bar Of gold is taken to the United
States government assay office. where
a certificate is obtained that a bar of
gold OF such f1neness and value was
taken from such a mine on such a
month. When the next assay comes
around this innocent bar of gold is
melted up with the rest of the gold
and does service again. In this way
by using the same innocent bar a score
OF times, high record of output can be
obtained and certified to by the United
States assay office? None, probably,
except metallurgist who has long
studied the ways and tricks Of the
mine salter. Some innocent capitalist
purchases the mine and saves the large
salary OF the trained mine examiner.
In the end he regrets his bargain when
1t is too late. Many such transactions
are made every year In view of the

Puiverizing the Soil.

The mechanical condition of the
soil has much to do with the acquir-
ing of plant food by crops. The roots
may have difficulty in deriving nu-
triment from clod, but if the clod
is powdered the roots can at once
utilize all the substances contained
therein. 1t also requires more
moisture to dissolve clods than can
be spared, especially in Summer.
By working the soil fine not only is
the ground more capable of holding
moisture, but the feeding capacity
of the roots is greatly increased.
