Paris. Several large jewelry firms also
moved to Bordeaux. All these people
brought their families. thus adding
several thousand people to Bordeaux
population.
The city dates back to the days Of
the Nandals, Franks and Normans
when it was the capital of Aquitania,
the province which passed to England
on the marriage of Eleanor to Henry
Plantagenet. 1t suffered little from
the wars for supremacy between
France and England and became 10y
ally devoted to its new masters, who
did much to encourage its commerce,
and was retained in their hands for
a period Of three hundred years down
to 1853. When Henry II. imposed
a salt tax there was an instruction in
Bordeaux and the town was severely
punished for it by the Constable de
Montmorency in 154S. Then came the
trouble between the Catholics and
Protestants, followed by the massacre
of st. Bartholomcw's Day when TWEEN
ty-nve hundred people persisted. The
section of the city where this massacre
occurred is still shown to visitors
many of the houses in which the mar
tyrs lived being pointed out. The
streets in this section are narrow and
crooked, lined on either side by queer
wooden houses of odd architecture.
During the reign of Louis XIV. the
town came into favor. and under the
rule of Louis XIV. and Louis XVI Bor-
deauX had for its Governor the Mar
quis of Tourny. This nobleman was
a gentleman Of rare talent and a taste
for the beautiful in architecture and

The Stamp Mills.

The gold sprinkled rocks coming
from the mine are first shattered TO
small pieces in rock breakers and then
raised by belt elevators to large bins
above the stamps. Each stamp Is a
massive mallet. weighing 900 to l,5oo
pounds, and is usually operated by
electricity. The ordinary mills have
fifty to one hundred such stamps
while the largest have thousand

over each plate and as the crushed

by means of huge cylindrical ma
chine known as tube-mi0. This Is
from twelve to 25 feet long and five
to eight feet In diameter, lined
throughout with iron compartments to
hold flint pebbles or steel balls. The
mill is revolved rapidly and the pow
dered rock coming in contact with
the pebbles or balls is ground between
the hard surfaces to the finest posi-
BILE point. When all the rock has been
pulverized sufficiently fine to release
all the gold, II goes TO series or I'M
mense tanks. These are generally OF
redwood from ten to twenty feet high
and often thirty feet in diameter, Me-
chanical agitating devices keep the
product in constant motion, after cy-
anide has been added to the crushed
rock and water in the tanks. This
agitation continues from few hours
to several days, depending on the
character OF the ore, and Is designed to
bring every particle of gold in contact
with the cyanide solution, insuring
complete recovery of the precious yell
low grains. Agitation is frequently ac-
complished by introducing compressed
air into the tanks by means OF pipes
connected with air-compressors.

ton the QredDst goes to tanks where

1t settles. The cyanide-impreRnat
water carries most Of the gold and
flows from the settling tanks to the
gold tank. Now comes one Of the
most interesting cycles of the compli-
Gated method of treatment. The gold
in the solution must be recovered in
tating settling and other contriyances
have been in vain. To do this the
gold laden water is diverted into a
series of boxes termed precipitating
as the solution flows in from the gold
tank 1t is disposed among large num-
Der of triangular plates, generally
numbering thirty to forty, with pumps
used to scatter the solution freely.
The plates are spaced about two
inches apart and shavings OF zinc, or
zinc dust, are fed into the solution as
II passes over the plates. The boxes
are also lined with zinc and the So
luton coming in contact with this
metal releases the gold which drops
into receptacles provided for the pur-
pose. The deposited gold. known as
precipitates, is then collected and re-
fined.

the engine or motor to which 1t Is con-

the simple rock settles on the belt, or
between the rifles, where 1t is held,
while the lighter material Is washed

settling box and collected. About
half the gold is usually recovered from

mud, must be specially treated, for il
still contains considerable gold which
has not dissolved sufficiently to pass
off with the water. So the material is
further drained Of all the water posi-
Bile and delivered to a series of ma
chimes termed filters. Each filter Is a
huge box or frame containing fifty to
a hundred leaves as n rule, each leaf
consisting Of a wooden frame, covered
with wooden strips, and covered with

pressed air. Suction pumps are USED
to form a vacuum and under the Ter
rife suction the remaining water
which contains the gold IS drawn out
of the mud which rapidly form on the
leaf like a huge cake. the water
from the filters flows to the gold so
luton tank and is generally next
passed through n wooden box hlIed
with excelsior. This removes all the
mud. and the solution IS wonderfully
clear as il passes to the zinc boxes for
precipitation of the gold. The cake
of mud is washed away from the filter
leaf and sent to the waste dump, and
most Of the cyanide solution, after the
gold has all been taken out, is pumped
back to the mill for further use.
Ready For Market
The precipitated gold must now be
placed I'm marketable condition, as 1t
is still unfit for the minis. The first
step is to dry the precipitates and ex-
pei the water and zine. This is usual
~ accomplished by placing the ma
terial in n steam dryer, consisting Of

feet and n width of six feet. 1t has
a depth of about twenty inches and
the precipitates are spread out to
bring them in direct contact with the
dry steam which is driven into the
box from boilers. After being thor
oughly dried the material is mixed
with borax or similar substance and
melted in special furnace. The gold
is thus released from all other mineral
elements and after being cast into
