Show warm quicksilver the placerville erville american merican menean is inclined ed to believe belleve from a erdes eries of experiments recently conducted in that gity oily by me mr james patterson that in many places and particularly where steam is made the rive motive powel powei that an additional saving of fine gold can be made sufficiently in many ins instances lances to pay pal largely upon the cost coat of the necessary arrangements for the purpose the theory and experiment has clearly proven its correctness is this that quicksilver like water blee becomes onies onles a better belter solvent when heated healed and par particularly is abis this his the case with quicksilver when used for lor the purpose of or taking hold of fine gold brought in contact with it the colder quicksilver becomes the he nearer it approaches the solid state of course losing to a considerable degree its yand susceptibility of readily uniting with any ac stance alance passing over its surface workers of sluicing claims are well aware of the impossibility of saving with an equal amount of gine fine 4 old oid winter as in summer and without beh being ilg ml fully y aware are of the rai real cause it is to be fauna id in in the want of perfect fluidity in the quicksilver hes res as when quicksilver conge congeals ois ais from cold it do does es not freeze over live water upon the surface first but the whole body of the metal becomes thickened and can be cut with a anif like hard butter buiter to render the quicksilver therefore as ly huld huid as possible we would buggea in all ell 11 ll steam quartz milis mills defuse of hot lot instead of coid cold water wherever practicable as ja medium to convey the pulverized quartz to the quicksilver or amalgamators this arrangement would keep the quicksilver in a highly fluid state elate and well conducted experiments experiment ts have clearly charly demonstrated rated i its ts superiority |
