the gold and silver which has been ab.
sorbed by the copper plates in stamp

will raise blisters on the plate which may
be removed by sudden cooling with wa.

that after few years OF constant service
mill plates will show some gold through
their entire thickness, and frequently
will prove rich on remelting them.
