The operation is as follews: A inutility of huely powdered ore, say 120 grammes,, Is introduced iutoatl.isk. To this an eual volume of tincture of io dine is added, and the mixture well agi tated. It Is thru Icll (or an hour, agitat ing from time to time, and Is finally al lowed to stand. When the solution has separated, a band of niter paper Is sat urated with this, and the paper allowed to dry. This operation Is repeated live or six limes In succession, in order to com pletely saturate the paper. It Is after ward Calcined, and it will be observed that the ash, when gold Is present, offers a purple color. This color should disappear quickly if the ash is moistened with bro mine water. The test may be modified in the follow ing manner: A quantity of the powder, 120 grammes, Is covereJ with bromine water, and after agitating during the course of an hour, the solution is filtered. Upon adding protochlorlde of tin to the solution, It takes a purple color, In the presenct of gold, giving the reaction known as "Purple of Casslus." In the case of sulphides the ore should be pre viously roasted, and when the mineral contains a considerable proportion of car bonate of lime, It should be calcined In he presence of ammonium carbonate Scientific American.
