Why Some Gold Rock That Pans
Will Not Assay

That the dissatisfaction which al
most every prospector feels when the
assay returns show his rock to he
barren, in spite Of the fact that he OBJ
tanned cOlors In his pan, is not the
fault OF the assayer. is explained in an
article published in the Mining and
Engineering World and written by
welton J. Crook. His purpose, he says
is TO try to show the limitations or the
sensitiyeness Of the fire assay as or
dinarily carried out when it is used
nualitatively for the detection Of gold
and silver. The word "qualitatively"
ia used because the large majority Of
the pieces of rock submitted for assay
are not samples" for they do not rep
resent the average Of the ore or body
Of rock from which they were taken
and they are probably oftentimes sent
for determination with the knowledge
that only Qualitative" results can be
expected.
The Prospector's Method.
The modes Of occurrence of gold may
be divided into two main divisions,
gold which occurs free and which may
be recovered by the process of pan
ming, and gold which is locked up in
side sulphide grains or which occurs
IN combination with various minerals
and which can not be separated from
the gangue so as to be visible in pan
ming. It is to gold occurring in the
first state that the following illustra-
ton applies.
A prospector has claim which has
ore carrying a small amount of free
gold. He is in the habit of pulveriz-
ing a portion of ore in mortar and
then panning the pulp down in gold
pan and observing the small specks
of gold that remain. In this way he is
able to judge to some extent the value
of his ore. This prospector has ore
which carries a very small amount of
gold, but still he is always able to get
a few colors from his pan Of pulver-
lied rock so he knows that there Is
gold in his claim. One day he decides
that he would like to know just how
much gold his rock carries, so ne
sends a pound or two to the school of
mines for an assay. In due time he
receives report that states that after
careful assay no gold or silver can be
found in the sample submitted.
Becomes Angry.
OF course he is angry. Could he not
with his pan and a little water find
colors in rock from any part of his
claim? And yet here is a certificate

Dear Mr.. Chairman: 1t had been my

campaign in behalf of our ticket but
the prolonged session of congress mas
upset my plans. Leaves OF absence
can now only be obtained in the house
on account of sickness, but In any
event l feel that l can best serve the
interests of the people Of Idaho by re-
naming here until the adjournment OF
congress, which we now hope will oc-
cur by the 18th or goth of the month,
when l will Immediately return to the
state, and meet such engagements as
the committee may make for me.
regret the long continued session
Of congress, especially because OF the
general business distraction through
out the central and eastern states
which is the inevitable result of much
Of the legislation which is being plac-
ed upon the statute books.
Democrats Found Country Prosperous.

When congress opened the country

telling him that his rock is barren.
Certainly he feels that he has not
been treated properly.
Go into the figures of the thing and
see why this happened. What did the
prospector do? He took probably 30
pounds or one one hundredth of a ton
of rock pulp and PANIED it down. A..
sumo that he got as result five col
ors of gold. Five colors would look
like quite lot to him. The smallest
particle of gold easily discernible to
the unaided eye weighs about O.01 of a
milligramme, or O000154 of a grain,
and, supposing the prospector's colors
were twice this size, his total gold
from 20 pounds of ore would weigh
multiplied by Dol, multiplied by 5,
which would equal OIL of a milli-
gramme. One gram of gold is worth
$0.6645, or, roughly estimated, 661a c,
and a milligramme is one one hun
dredth of a grain. Therefore the gold
in 20 pounds of his ore is worth Sc V C,
divided by 10, divided by 1000, or
0.00665c. But 20 pounds is only one
one hundredth of ton, SO this figure
must be multiplied by 100 with the re-
suit that the value of the ore is 6-10
of cent per ton. These figures read
lily show how sensitive the process Of
panning may become as detector of
free gold in rock.
The Assay Ton System.
In assaying it is usual to weigh out
the ore sample according to a special
system of weights, known as the "as-
say ton" system. 1t was introduced in
order that the difficulty arising from
the fact that while ores are weighed
metals are weighed by the troy. The
basis of the assay ton is the number
of troy ounces in one ton of 1000
pounds avoirdupois. The unit of the
system is one assay ton, which equals
29.166 grains or 1923 ounces. AS usu-
ally carried out the fire assay will
treat one assay ton of material, an
amount which is less than one three
thousandth of the amount taken by
the prospector for panning
The smallest particles of gold that
of a millgramme, but with great care
the assayer might be able to weigh up
piece only 0.005 of a milligramme,
and as he took one assay ton Of rock
for his sample a piece of gold of this
size would represent a value of 1899
per ton of ore. This is about the
smallest value that can be detected In
the ordinary methods of assay

-Carpy has plans for complete isoia-

rival the most spectacular stunts en-
ployed by Darling, who a number Of
years ago was conspicuous figure on
Honolulu thoroughfares. For two
years he dwelt in complete seclusion
in the Napa county mountains, the
greater part of the time living close
to nature and going for weeks and
months without seeing a fellow hui

his canopy at night and subsisting

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Nov. IL.
President Wilson's troubles are com
e ing thick and fast nov. His enemies
were encouraged over the election re-
turns and will make Il lively for him
from this time ON.
One OF the presidents great tasks is
to find jobs for the forty odd lame
duck congressmen who fell fighting
for the cause of Democracy NOvenl-
ben 8. The candidates for positions
under the Wilson administration are
far more numerous than the jobs.
Therefore. eyerybody here is won
dering what the president win do with
such men as Rep. A. Mitchell Palmer,
who was defeated for the senate by
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania.
There, too, is the Democratic leader.
Roger G. sullivan of Chicago, who lost
out. Mr.. Sullivan Is not friend who
President Wilson claims but he made
4 good race in Illinois and went to de-
feat before Senator Sherman.
About As congressman viii go out
next March and most Of them will ask
for Jobs. The lame duo problem ID e
live one for President Wilson.
The negro question" has also bob
bed up to worry the Democrats. Dele
cations of negroes meet in the cities
of the northern states almost weekly
to roast Secretary McAdoo OF the
treasury department and Postmaster
Burieson for segregating the negroes
in their respective departments. At
the White House one day this month
the president told deleeStion Of
Boston, New York and Washington
negroes that he considered their talk
to him imprudent This brought on
the trouble that has been brewing for
some time.
Negro leaders say now that they
will ask the members of their race to
vote as one man against the Demo
Gratis at coming elections.
But the most serious thing that con-
fronts the Democratic administration
is the business depression Although
much of the decline In business can
be traced to the door of the European
war thousands of Democratic voters
charge the Democrats with dull mar
kets and low prices. The cotton farm
ers of the south are very much dis
satisfied.
Every indication points to bitter
fight against the Democrats two years
hence. The tariff will be the issue un-
less business conditions improve.
