TEST FOR COPPER ORES.
Simple Method by Which Value May Be Close.
ly Judged.

T. G. Dubois, in the Pacific Coast
Miner, says that if a prospector will
provide himself with a bottle if nitric
acid, and a bottle of ammonia, and two
or three good-sized test tubes, he can
easily learn how to test ore for copper.
Pulverize a small portion of the ore to
be tested in a mortar or between two
fiat stones. Put about a half teaspoon
full of the pulverized ore in the test
tube and carefully add nitric acid, a
few drops at time at first, so that in
case violent action should take place
it would not throw the contents of the
tube out. After the ere in the tube
has been covered with the nitric acid,
warm the tube over the flame of a
candle until the metallic part of the ore
has been Dissolved. OF course the
quartz will not enter into solution.
Solution will take place in a few min
utes. Then dilute the solution with
water until the tube is about three
quarters full, then add ammonia cauti-
ously, drop by drop. If copper be
present in the ore, the solution will
become colored blue-one per cent. of
copper will give a much fainter shade
A few tests made in the above man
ner, compared with assay results OF
the ore, will educate the prospector
to judge very closely as to the amount
of copper contained in his samples.
