claim. Another example may be
quoted. An engineer now so
well known that a daily news
paper would label him eminent,
examined the Vulture mine in
Arizona, and took number of
samples carefully. The assays
were satisfactory, almost too uni
formly good. His chief arranged
for more detailed sampling be-
fore any payment was made to
apply on the purchase of the
mine, and a staff of samplers was
sent to make systematic exami-
nation. In the course of it, the
suggestion of something wrong
became manifest. A little de-
tective work proved that the
samples were being salted;a sack
filled with coke was put where it
could be tempered with, and the
perpetrator was foolish enough
not to notice the difference in
weight, but enriched the coke
with the usual allowance of gold.
The sailing was done with the
gold precipitate from the zinc
boxes of the cyanide mill. An
effort was made to get evidence
for the prosecution of those re-
sponsible, but in this case, as in
others, it was possible to convict
the tool, but impossible to punish
the principals. The moral of this
incident is that an engineer should
avoid accepting the assistance of
men not wholly trustworthy, and
never sample a large mine with
out an assistant of known integ-
rity. AS illustrating this point,
we quote the story of an exami-
nation of the Martin White mine
at the old camp Of Ward, in Ne
vada. 1t happened thirty years
ago, but the moral of it will apply
as we'll today as then. 1t was a
silver mine, ard in the vein there
were patches of loose manganese
ore rich in silver chloride, afford
ing crumbly pulverulent stuff
eminently adapte to the purpose
of sailing. An engineer came to
examine the mine, and in his work
he received the aid Of miner,
who broke samples under his d.
rection. The miner wore coat
with big pockets, and in them he
had placed several handfuls OF
the black dust just described.
He held some of it in the palm Of
his hand, and as he struck the
vein with a pick he would Yet q
little of the rich stuff drop with
the ore detached from the vein,
