Gold In Alabama

To the Editor of The Herald: have been very much interested In your articles. recently on Southern Gold Mining" and while the articles are Interesting in a general way have thought that your readers might ike to have something specific along this line.
 I am interested in some land in Ala bama in the gold bearing belt that a pan of soil taken from anywhere in the old cotton field shows many colors of gold.
 1 sent several small lots of the gravel and sand, also some black sand . to Mr. Eugene A. Smith, our state reol- ogist, for assay.
 He had them assayed and all proved valuable, basing them per ton of original soil. When sending me the re- suit of tre assay. he wrote me as fol- lows: Tt is very difficult to get any even approximate idea of the yield of soil and gravel unless a very great amount of it is sampled down with the greatest of care. For rough approxi- nation. I should advise you to get a small wagonload of the material just as it would be taken for an ordinary banning test. then with common shovel take three shovelsful and throw into one pile and the fourth into another and so on until you have di- vided the original into two piles. the smaller one containing one-fourth of the original.
 Then proceed in the same way with the smaller pile which contained one fourth of the original quantity. Then cut of this last smaller quantity you could send me few pounds for assay. Complying with his suggestion, l went into the field with man and . wheelbarrow, and put in a pile 10 wfeelbarrow loads. no two loads taken from within 50 to 100 yards of each other then two men with shovels thoroughly mixed the soil which con tained a great deal of sand gravel and crushed quartz
 I then quartered it down as directed and sent Mir. Smith a cement bag of the soil, taken from the last smaller ; quarter.
 The assay was made by MT. R. S. Hodges, chemist and the following is quoted from the letter:
 The original soil shipped in the bag was carefully sampled down. and the result is here shown:
 Gold 2S-100 oz per ton $20.67
 per oz $4.75 Silver 3s-1o0 OF per ton O 60 per Il oz ............'....... 21
 s4.96
 ''Yours very truly,
 R. s. HODGES. Chemist Geological Survey of Ala bama.'
 Men who are familiar with this sort of gold bearing soil all agree that If the top contains valuable minerals to ! the amount of $4.96 per ton, that the chances are very much in favor of richer values as depth increases.
 With the installation of modern ma chinery for saving the values of these so-called low grade ores Alabama will surely come to the front in the pro- duction of gold in the near future.
 Yours truly,
