LACK OF KNOWLEDGE
FOAS PR0SPECTORS
High-grade Gold Ore Discarded
in Sorting Because 1t Re-
semhled Iron

Lack of knowledge of the physical
and chemical characteristics of min
erals and inability to make simple
tests for the Identification of miner
erals have stood between many a
man and fortune, says the Mining
and Engineering World. Laziness
or lack of initiative on the part of
the better informed may also block
the path to success. For years the
miners of Leadville, Colo. were dis
carding carbonate of zinc ore. think
ing it some worthless mineral. Now
it is the mainstay of the camp. The
wonder is that it could have re-
manned so long unrecognized.
Now comes a report from Arizona
of $1,000 gold ore that was discarded
in sorting because it resembled iron
An assayer is reported to have found
no gold in the stuff. which threw tn
owners of the claim off the track
The true nature of the material was
discovered by chance and another
assay disclosed its true value.
The moral of this little tale is, do
not trust too much in appearance or
in the verdict of incompetent as
sayers. The nature of either of the
above ores could have been ascer-
tanned by simple blowpipe or wet
chemical tests that could have been
made by any prospector with very
little practice and only little study.
Mining and Engineering World
has on several occasions pointed out
to prospectors and miners the i'm
portance to them of at least work
ing knowledge of blowpipe analysis
as applied to the determination of
minerals. 1t would be too much to
expect all prospectors or miners to
be assayers and to go into the field
equipped with assaying outfits, but
it is within the reach of all to get
the training and the small and mex
pensive outfit necessary to make
field determinations of most miner
ais.
The instances here cited of failures
to recognize the nature of valuable
minerals and ores show plainly the
Importance of ability to test the
qualitative composition at least of
minerals that may be encountered
independently of assayers.

L|vERYMEN ASK
FOR BETTER RATES

AT an early meeting OF the council
committee on ordinances, an ordi-
nance fixing the maximum rate for
hacks to be used at funerals will be
prasented.
1t is claimed by undertakers AMI liv-
erymen that the ordinance now in ex-
istence placing the maximum rate at
three dollars and half should be
amended.
When that ordnance was passed"
said liveryman yesterday. the city
Ct Richmond was comparatively small,
and the hauls were short. We could
probably exist on that rate at that
time. But since then the city has
grown to be a great city. and our hauls
are much longer, while we have few
calls for carriages for other purposes
than funerals. owing to the large num-
Der Of automobiles now In use. The
rate that we are forced to charge
hardly pays us for the keep OF the
carriages and horses. We believe that
q four-dollar ratio at least should be
fixed by ordinance, II such a thing can
be LEGALLY done."
The ordinance referred to was
adopted by council many years ago.
when Richmond was little more than
q village.
