How Gold Nuggets Crow.

1t is generally supposed that the
nuggets which are found in the river
gravols of Klondike and other aurifer-
Gus regions have 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 that this cannot lie the case,
for no masses of gold of so large
size were ever found in the reefs
themselves. They believe, on the
other hand, that the nuggets have
grown where they are now found, just
as crystal of salt will grow in n
strong brine; but with SO insoluble a
substance as gold it was difficult to
understand how such growth could
take place. Experiments carried out
in Australia have shown that decay
ing vegetable matter will cause the
deposition of gold from solutions of
gold salts, but these salts are not
known.to occur IN reefs.
The mystery is now solved. A Sla-
vonlc chemist named H2lBmody mas
Just shown that gold itself can exist
in soluble form. By acting on q
slightly alkaline solution of a gold
salt with formaltehyde and submitting
the product to dialysis he has sue
ceeded in obtaining gold in collodial
condition, in which state it is soluble
in water and may be precipitated by
the addition of common salt.
1t is probable that some of the gold
in quartz reefs exists in this condition.
1t is washed out by the rain, carried
away in solution by the rivers, and de-
posted in the river-gravels wherever
there is anything containing salt
to cause its precipitation. In the
course of ages large nugget may in
this way be formed. london Mail.
