SOLID BRICKS OF YELLOW.
Gold Cubes as They Reach the Min,
Need Not Be Avoided.

Gold Cubes as They Reach the Mint
Need Not Be Avoided.
A paragraph in the New York letter
of the Ledger stated that there had
been received at one of the banks a
lump Of gold from British Columbia
weighing 1897 ounces, in shape of a
cone, Ii inches high and 81 inches In
circumference at the base, and valued
at $135,275. AT the United States mint
in this city it was stated yesterday to
a Ledger reporter that it was unusual
to ship gold in such large masses. 1t
must have been cooled in a crucible,
which was broken from it, judging
from it's shape. No such masses had
ever been received at the mint.
The usual form of gold bricks is that
Of an ordinary brick, the very largest
being valued at about $4,000 and
weighing about 1,500 ounces. That such
bricks are not easily handled was cas-
lily demonstrated by the reporter, who
was allowed to lift from a truck
brick from the Denver assay office,
SX4X3A inches in size. 1t was just the
size of a building brick, only three
quarters of an inch thicker, but it
weighed ninety pounds and was valued
at $21 900. Though small, it could not
easily have been gotten away with.
Very little gold as it comes from the
mines is received at the mint. A few
small lots brought by the early Klon-
dixie miners is all that has been seen
from Alaska The dust, or flakes, Is
taken to the nearest assay office, prob
ably at Seattle, and there sold to the
Government, which purchases all that
is offered. 1t usually contains more or
less silver or copper or both metals. II
may be refined at the assay Office, but is
usually refined at the mint. Many
bricks shown to the reporter looked like
silver, the proportion of one-third of
that metal giving them that appear
ance. Some small bricks, worth about
$4,000 apiece, were shown which had
been refined to 998 parts in 1000 prac-
tlcally pure gold. These were for
prominent watch case mandatory for
use In it's business. Chemically pure
gold is made only for testing purposes.

Amusing q Princess.

When Princess Henry of Battenberg
was a child, she and her nurse were al
lowed to ramble about the Balmoral es-
tate, to visit the tenants, and sometimes
to stay to tea.
One farm was a favorite resort, ana
one afternoon, tea over, good Mrs. D
looked round anxiously, perplexed to
provide amusement for Princess, pre-
sumably satiated with toys and joys OF
every kind.
"What can do to amuse your Royal
HighnessT she asked, and was prompt
ly met by the reply: "Oh. Mrs. D, do
let me dance on your bed; l may not
do 1t at home, and do so love it."
Permission was gladly given, and the
child danced to her hearts content on
the snowy Counterpart.
