FIRE ASSAYS ARE
MISLEADING when
PLACER TESTING

The Journal is in receipt of a
prospectus of Multi Metals corpora
tiOn of Laramie. Wyo., which com
/ pany is seeking to raise $4,000
for mine development. Since the
! advent of the Securities & Ex-
change commission, mine financing
has became almost extinct, miners
fearing they will encounter un-
surmountable legal hurdles if they
usa The mails to solicit funds.
This prospectus states, as pro-
vided by the law. that the securities
have not been registered with the
SEC because such securities are be-
lieyed to be exempt from registra-
ton. since the issue is $4,000 or
less The company has 395 acres
in the Medicine Bow Mountain
range near Albany, Wyo., on which
a placer deposit has been indicat-
ed by SIS tests.
The prospectus refers to assays"
which are frowned upon in placer
testing, since the gold is recov-
cred from the gravels in CONNER
cial operation by washing and not
by fire assays. The only accurate
method of determining recoverable
gold in a placer deposit is said by
mining engineers to be by panning
or sluicing measured sections of
gravel from top to bedrock. Only
in testing black sands is an assay
of any value, engineers say. The
Multi Metals has 27 feet of gravel
in its placer operation and also
has a lode mine adjoining.
