with which gold is found it not impossible that gold
might be carried into assures in body of graphite

in rocks of great variety.
But 1t is difficult to believe that body of graph

value for the manufacture of lubricants. For gold
is not ordinarily deposited by itself in vein but
along with other minerals, of which the commonest
is quartz. And surely the presence of sringers of
quartz or of other hard minerals would not be desr

purposes of graphite.
But gold mining has had many surprises. 1t is
