SIEGEL CLOTHING All t in every line of There are ness who differ greatiy upon the ciples underlying that special branch and the methods under which it should be conducted. Some are honest in their differences, while others are willing to sacrifice their, real opinions to any matter of expediency which promises more ready and full returns of cash to their coffers. There are who believe . the prospector should be encouraged. by overstating the value of his ore and who habitually give small returns, from a trace'1 to a few dollars per. ton, .upon ore which they know to be totally barren, thinking by this fraud to keep the miner at work for days, or perhaps months, upon a prospect which will yield nothing, spending valuable time, and money to no purpose save that of giving a few dollars worth of work to the assayer. Perhaps the prospector sends samples to two different assayere, and one returns him no trace, while the other gives him a value of a few dollars per ton. The biggest return is almost invariably accepted as correct, and the no trace man is charged with a failure. Some assayers say it makes no difference whether they return no trace or a dollar or two a ton, because in neither case is the ore of any value. I claim the contrary and assert that the accuracy of an assay of ore of very low grade is much more important than that of an ore carrying a hundred dollars per ton, for the reason that In the first case a difference between no trace and a dollar or two may decide the expenditure of hundreds or perhaps thousands of dollars in development; while in the latter the ore will be shipped anyway; and we have all learned that the smelters will pay for nothing but the actual contents of the ore. Then, too, these returns of value from valueless ore are often the result of accident or carelessness in the hands of an assayer who has every intention of being honest. A particle of rich ore in the grinder left from the last sample, a salted crucible, a loaded cleaning brush, a dirty mixing cloth, fluxes containing a little precious metal; these and other matters of carelessness, uncleanliness or disorder about the laboratory are continually making the difference between reliability and worthlessness in the result of assaying. The general public is not competent to judge of the qualifications of an assayer any more than those of a physician. Any man may buy an outfit for a hundred dollars and stick out his shingle Chemist and Assayer, when in reality he knows no more about the correct application of the principles underlying the trade he professes than the man in the moon.
