| sea does not contain certain uniform amount of gold I fully satisfied my | self that the gold I found was float gold.
 It may have contained gold in some oth- CT form which I did not save by this | crude process. It also found by eXperl-
 menting that there is a great difference 1 in the value of the sea sands in the dif- ferent localities along the coast. The sand hills on which San Francisco Is built contain gold and silver to the value of about forty cents to the ton. On be- ing concentrated it yields ten per cent. of magnetic iron sand that assays on
 the average about two dollars and sixty cents a ton in gold and silver-seventy- five per cent. silver and twenty five per
 cent. gold, and it carries fully twenty cents a ton in value in float gold that cannot be saved by concentration. In other localities these concentrated sands assayed a larger amount of float gold The assays in silver were about the same.
 The beach sands in the vicinity of the Klamath Bluffs were found to be much richer in both float and fixed gold than were the sands in any other locality.
 l HIS, OI COulSG3 IS dStOuHlCu AOi py siAS fact that the surf has, for ages, been freeing the gold from the gravel worn from the bluffs. Experiments made in different localities along the coast show that ton of beach sand contains, on an average, twenty cents in float gold and ten cents in fixed gold, which is the name given to the gold found in mag netic iron sands. Assuming that all the beach sands from Oregon to San Diego carry thirty cents ton in gold, it Is ev- ident that these sands contain more gold than has yet been mined in the world. Likewise, if the ocean contains only one- fifth of a grain of gold to every ton of water, it still contains many times more gold than has ever been mined.
 But. as have said earlier in this arti- cle, the fact that the water near the coast, particularly gold-bearing coast, contains gold does not establish the fact that the whole ocean contains an equal amount. Even If this were the case, any scheme for removing the gold with financial profit must be a failure, as the outlay would far exceed the out put.
 The process of extracting solvent gold from water is one of the most difficult and costly known to chemistry; chem ist charges from fifteen to twenty dol lars to analyze one gallon of water. Four cents worth of gold to ton of water is the highest average that has been asserted for sea water; in reality sea water does not average more than one cent to a tonTo extract this one
 p1n,1tro nt the lowest calculation an expenditure of ten dollars
 If there are men who feel that for the good of science one cent in float gold is ample return for the ten dollars in mint ed gold I can recommend to them no better investment than salt water gold mining On the other hand, those peo- pie who take a mercenary view Of the subject would do well to confine their mining to dry land.--New York Sun.
