Modern Methods Of Gold
Prospecting and Mining
BY DAY ALLEN WILEY.

Besides the geologist, the services of
an expert chemist are also of great
Importance, and a laboratory in minia-
ture is contained in the packs carried
by the animals. So complete is this
portion OF the equipment, that fairly
correct field analysis can be made OF
the specimens secured by the use Of
the drill or by the other prospectina
tools. III the outcropping OF a quartz
vein is discovered, enough is broken
OFF to allow its character to be studied
both from geological and chemica.
standpoint. After examining it in con.
nection with the formation in the vicin.
ity, the geologist is often able to indi..
cate where the surface can be bored
with the possibility of reaching the ore.
bearing strata at once. The value OF
the ore from the outcropping and thai
from the interior can be approximately
determined by the chemist. To crush
the ore is slight undertaking, and
with the lead which he has brought
along the material can be readily fused
in portable furnace. In fact, he has
the essentials for making a dry assay
on a limited scale, for cupels are now
made of such light weight thar they
can readily be carried on muleback.
Taking the ingot of lead and of
precious metal, he can easily oxidize
the lead by placing it in his cupel. and
heating the latter to the required tenn
perature in an oven constructed of ma
terIal which he can obtain in the vicin-
ity. With his nitric acid he separates
the silver which may remain. leaving
the gold only to be tested for its value.
The proportion of gold to given guam
tity of ore can be determined by his
scales, but by using his touchstone or
black basalt, he can detect the quality
of the gold by the color which this sub
stance makes when drawn over the sur
face of the metal.
In the outfit of the modern pros
pector quicksilver has become prac-
tically Indispensable. Its affinity for
gold makes it most valuable agent.
Where the existence of placer gold is
imagined, the introduction of mercury
into the test washer soon solves the
problem, and avoids the use of rifles
and other crude appliances which We're
formerly depended upon almost en-
tirely. After crushing the specimens
of test ore, the quicksilver can also be
used TO ascertain the quantity of free
gold among the particles. AS the mer-
curry can be eliminated by heating the
composition to a sufficiently high tenn
perature, it is now utilized in large
quantities by the modern prospector.-

up into the younger mans face:

As he uttered the final words he
placed his arms around Laftte's

"Sire."
A volume of emotions spoke in that

SOME FRANKS OF LIGHTNING
Fantastic Tricks Played Upon unfor-
tunate Victims.

Fantastic Tricks Played Upon unfor-
tunate Victims.
One of the fantastic tricks which
lightning plays upon its unfortunate
victims is a kind of flashlight pho
Biography. There are numerous in
stances of this which are more or less
authenticated" but they seem almost
too wonderful to be believed. One
of these is of young man in New
Jersey who was struck by lightning
and was taken in an ambulance to the
hospital at once. There seemed to be
no wound except small mark on the
back, but while the doctors and
nurses were examining him a picture
began to develop on the skin. Soon
before the wondering eyes of the
watchers appeared a perfect picture
of the figure of Christ nailed to the
cross. The explanation is that on the
wall opposite the bed on which the
young man lay was the picture which
was reproduced on his skin.
Another instance is of a man who
was struck by lightning, and on his
chest were red marks resembling the
tree with all its branches under which.
the man was standing when he was
killed. From France comes the story
of peasant girl who was driving a
COW from the pasture when she was
overtaken by n storm, and she and
the COW took refuge under the tree. A
bolt killed the COW and stunned the
girl. When she recovered conscious
ness she found on her chest picture
of the COW she had been driving.
The chatelaine of the castle of
Benatonnaire was sitting in a chair
in her salon when the chateau was
struck by lightning. She was quite
uninjured, but on the back Of her
dress was found perfect copy Of the
chair on which she had been sitting

The Thuce-a-Week World was a brilliant
success in the beginning and has been
steadily growing ever since. Time is the
test of all things, and has set its seal of ap-
prOval on the Thrice-a-Week World, which
is widely circulated in every State and Ter
ritory of the Union, and wherever there are
people who can read our mother tongue.
This paper for the year 1908, will make
its news service, if possible, more exten-
sive than ever. All events of importance,
no matter where they happen, are reported
accurately and promptly.
The subscriber, for only one dollar year
gets three papers every week and more
news and general reading than most great
dailes can furnish at five or six times the
price.
The Thrice-a- Week World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias is
never allowed to affect its news columns,
and Democrat and Republican alike can
obtain in its pages truthful accounts of all
the great political campaigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice-a-
Week World furnishes the best serial fiction.
elaborate market reports and other features

The Thrice-a-Week Worlds regular sub
