Take a sample of (6O) sixty pounds

Take sample of (6O) sixty pounds
of gravel. wash it carefully in the
Eureka-Klondike Gold Washer, weigh
the gold dust, and In column in fore
going table opposite the weight, will
be found the gold value of cubic yard
of gravel.
Sample of (6O) sixty pounds produces
gold weighing grain; the fneness the
gold being $50, then the value of
one cubic yard of such gravel
by pointing off one point, or dividing
the value given ir the table by 10.
If the sample of (6O) sixty pounds
yields gold weighing ore grain and
two tenths 1-2-10), then the value of
the gravel per cubic yard would be:
Gold being 92O fine, as follows:
Opposite one grain. ..920 fine, value 1.98
2-1O "......92O " 1" .O3
Total per cubic yard 2.O1
This table is prepared upon the fol-
lowing basis of weights, viz, sample
of four pounds of quartz is one five
hundredth part in weight of ton of
1000 los, and the gold values given
are reduced to this proportion.
Eighteen CUBIC feet of gravel in
bank will weigh one ton or 1000
pounds, aud cubic yard. or II cubic
feet, will weigh 5000 lbs, or l. ] tons;
and 60 lbs, being the one-fiftieth part
of the weight of a cubic yard, then tn e
relative proportion of the weight of
quartz to gravel Is as so to 500, or to
10.

The foregoing table furnishes Al ex-
cesdingly simple method of determin-
ing the value of free gold in ton of
gold bearing quartz or a cubic yard of

opposite.
Such weight will be the value in free
gold per ton of 1000 lbs., of quartz.

gold being $50, then the value of one
ton of such quartz will be S17.S7.
If the sample of 4 pounds should pro-
duce gold deposit. Weighing, say two
and four-tenths (2-4-1O grains, then the
value of such quartz would be S75 fine
a. follows: viz.
Opposite 2 grains. .875 fine value S37 68

Charles Dickens delighted to tell
stories OF John Forster, the writer and
editor with whom he was so much
associated. Mr.. Forster had 30 peremp-
tory and decisive . manner that 1t
impressed all who came In contact
with him. His servants were kept in
perfect and almost abject submission
to his wishes. and yet he showed many
kindnesses to them. and they were
greatly attached to him.
The story runs that on one occasion
q cabman called at the printing omc
and was unable to give the name Of
the person who had ordered him to
come At certain hour. without fall.
The ONCE porter asked for de-
scription of his fare. and the cabman
stated that he was n stout gentle
man" To this the porter replied that
there were several stout gentlemen In
the once. and inquired whether this
one was tall or short
Il don't know which you'd call him" "
returned the cabman II didn't take
special notice: but there can't be two
like him; he's that harbitrary cove"
The porter summoned Mr.. Forster
without hesitation, and found he had
made NO mistake When the story
leaked out. nobody enjoyed II more
than the "harbitrary cove" himself.
