upon being heated to a red heat This
gold as It comes from its acid bath is
nearly pure gold. but not quite. and IL
weighed as pure gold would result in
large discrepancy in the purchase OF great
quantities Of bullion.
There are two sources OF errors In the
assaying process-one in the voiatiiization
and absorption Of the gold in the cupel-
ling process, and the other In the reten-
ton of silver by the gold in the acid boil
ing process. To correct this, with each
lot of assays three check assays. made OF
absolutely pure gold and silver, corre-
spending as near as possible TO the COM
position Of the alloy 10 be tested, are
placed in the furnaces. OF course. IL is
known exactly what amount of gold is
contained in these check assays. and In
case any variation from that known
quantity is indicated, IL is assumed that
the other assays have varied in corre-
spending degree. and due allowances are
then made.
All work in the assay department is per-
formed in duplicate by different men up
on different balances TO insure absolute
accuracy, and the two assayers check up
their work after the final weighings have
been made.
The plant In the assaying department,
among other things. besides the iabora-
several fine high-grade assay balances
and four platinum separating apparatus,
the latter worth 1850.
The balances upon which the sample
gold is weighed for assays are construct
ed so as to almost entirely overcome
friction. The central bearing consists of
a sharp knife edge agate resting on a
highly polished plane of agate. These
balances are so sensitive that they have

air currents from disturbing their center
of gravity. II two pieces Of paper balance
perfectly and one Is removed and
scratched upon with pencil the differ
ence in weight would be readily detected
In fact, an eyelash Is a heavy weight on
these balances.
The assay department has record
over 10000 individual assays made since
the end OF last June. which represent n
total valuation of over s17.0oo.ooo and
the total number of assays made since

suMAS, Oct. i7.-Today's Sentinel says:
Messrs. r., s. Lambert and Jack Post,
OF this city, have bonded TO Ira Case of
Tacoma. the famous locally at leasD
Lady OF the Lake group of mines. In the
mine, now being operated by Mr., Stan

has not been made public, but is known
to embody handsome sum.
The group known as the Lady of the
Lake consists Of four claims. viz: Gold
No. and Great Eastern. The group lies
about three-quarters OF a mile north OF
me Post-Lambert, and is well within the
boundary line. There are numerous
smaller veins Of remarkable richness ira
versing the group. and the main vein,
three and a half feet in width is rich in
gold and tellurium. Assays from average
ore taken from near the surface of these
claims run from $40 to s1i2. while selected
specimens already taken out run as high
as $500 to 1900 per ton.

called Little Englander" by the read
ers OF Mr.. Kipling's poems, SO far removed
does the England OF Elizabeth seem from
the empire OF Victoria. And yet the same
glad note OF triumph and patriot
ism rings through the historical
plays OF the great dramatist that
we have learned 20 listen Tor in the
poems OF the laureate OF Greater fcng-
land. Among good many other things
Shakespeare was a patriot. and Swim
burne has aptly spoken OF the national

A story of AIf. Newell.

Alfred C. Newell, who was a membe,
of the class of 81 at. the University. is
very well known in Georgia. This story
about him will interest those who know
him:
He had been in New Yory only short
time when he was sent 10 the mayors
Office one day for an item of news.
Just as he stepped inside the office a
clerk spoke up loudly and insolently.
Remove your hat, sir" he shouted
What do you mean by coming in here
with your hat on?'
Everybody in the room looked with evil
dent curiosity at Newell.
The stalwart young Georgian was pale
with anger, and looking down at the lit
tie clerk, he said
You miserable cur. I'll remove my hat
when l please, II you say another word
I'll throw you out of the window
The other men in the Office smiled. and
the little clerk pretended TO be very busy
with some papers.
The mayor was delighted and when
Newell come forward, taking off his hat
after advancing two or three steps, he
greeted him cordially, and gave him the
information he sought.
When he left the mayor asked his
name, and turning 20 the others he said
That young man has pluck, self-re-
spect and good manners. l like his style "
After that Newell got along nicely In
New York.
