But this is not all. The gold and silver are diffused in the bead and have to be separated, To accomplish this result another process has to be gone through. The bend, which is bammered foto a flat form, is boiled in nitric

The process formerly used by the miner in Toughly determining the amount of gold in a piece of quarz is what is known as the water process. It is not by any theans an invention of modern times, as the art has been handed down from the time of Archimedes, the ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician, who died 212 B.c. The process consists of weighing the quarter in water and then weighing it dry, the result derived being attained by computing the specific gravity of the gold and quartz The specific gravity of water is one, that of gold 195. and silver 10-43. Calculating on this basis the amount of gold” in a piece of rich quarix Ca

letermined approximately. It is to Archimedes that the world is Indebted for discovering the priciple. Archimedes was given the difficult task by Hiero, King of Syracuse, of discovering whether the gold given to a goldsmith to make a crown had heen mixed with baser metals. It occurred to him that the excess of bulk ecca- aloned by the introduction of alloy could be measured by putting the crown and an equal weight of gold separately inta a vessel filled with water, and observing the difference of overflow; Tels led to the establishmeal of the fondamental principle still known by his name, that a body Immersed in a liquid sustains an upward pressure equsi to the weight of the liquid displaced.

The bar of balllon is first melted to get the ingredients thoroughly diffused. A small piece can be chipped off the end of the bar, but the used a small quantity of the molten metal is safest way is to melt it. If the latter process granulated in cold water. Of the granulations a balf gramme is weighed out and with this half gramme the assay is cizde. To it is added twice Its weight in silver, which is necessary in order that all of the silver may go into solution in the subsequent balling process. After the slivers added It is capelled, in which process all the on, lead, copper and other base metals are absorbed. What silver.
