No Gold in Mine Timbers.

The alleged existence of gold in old
mining timbers has been investigated
in California and Colorado with mega
tive results According to O'Driscoll
in his Notes on the Treatment of Gold
Ore" he says that in experiments by
J. c. Newbery, Chief of the Techno-
logical Museum. Melbourne. Australia,
he examined mine timbcrs which had
long been saturated by mine waters,
expecting to find in the fibers of the
timber gold which had been precipi-
tated from solutions. Some large
logs of undrcssed close-grained euca-
1yptus timber which had been in mine
waters between twelve and fourteen
outsides of these were cut away and
perfectly sound pieces We're obtained
These Were dressed quite smooth. and
to all appearances Were Ms ordinary
pieces of planned timber They were
then carefully calcined and the ash
examined, II considerable quantity of
highly minute gold and silica found.
Microscopical examination of these
showed that both gold and silica were
in irregular particles. quite unlike the
forms they would have assumed had
they been there precipitated from so
lutions; the capillary attraction of the
wood had drawn them amongst the
tibers together with the water" This
whole matter was given scientific
analytical discussion in the issue of

over patenting the Hustler and
New Year claims on Carbonate hill,
which is of the utmost Importance to
every person who has ground in this
or any other mining camp to patent.
The commissioner reverses the ruling
of sixteen years standing. Explained
briefly. he decides that the location
made by the Carbonate Hill company
with reference to the IIassler claim is
valid and the decision of every land
office and interior office is reversed.
The point of controversy was that
the western end center of the Hustler
claim was located within ground
owned and patented by the Fort VIII
cox company. by end center is meant
the central point on the end line of
claim. located 100 feet from either cor
ner stake. The commissioner rules
that the end center may be located
either within ground already patented
or not patented. as it may happen to
be. This new ruling knocks out the
old rule, which has been in force since
1881. so that almost every mineral To-
Gated in the West has been made under
n ruling which Is now invalid. How
ever, the commissioners reversal will
not affect the prior locations.
