Seems tu, la Its U iid State, bnt Not After It ilns Become Civilised. Some reasons for answering this, question in the affirmative an* given I by "Popular Mechanic's,” which warns 1 the reader, however, that be must uot | expect to grow gold eagles from dollars. Says the writer: ‘‘it has been found that gold nuggets under favorable conditions actually increase in size. Gold is known to have grown on mine timbers which have loug been immersed in mine water. In the California State Mining Bureau museum there Is a specimen of a piece of jointed cap and post taken from the Comstock, where it had been under water for years, in which gold has I formed in the joints and pores of the wood. Gold is constantly being formed in rocks and vc.n.s and placers. Just what it is that tin- baby gold formation feeds on to effect its growth is not known. If it weic, a new and wonderfully lucrative industry might be born, and all other kinds of farming save the growing of gold might temporarily be abandoned. The formation and growth j are due to mechanical and chemical ac- I tion. As in the ease of the animal or i vegetable the gold has existed in ’ some oilier state Ixifore assuming its ; present form. Waters which percolate through the earth s crust are said to contain substances from which gold is formed. Thus gold, like the animal and vegetable, must have water in order to thrive. The gold in the water is deposited when it meets the proper precipitant. The precipitant may be an earth current of electricity, some vegetable growth or chemicsl in the rocks. It has been claimed that the nuggets found In placers are the formations from the waters that percolate through Hie gravels, and are uot from decomposed quartz, as generally supposed. Those who so contend eke the fact that in the center of nuggets cun be often found a small grain of iron sand This was the nucleus around which the earth current of electricity created or deposited in electroplating. During long ages this li.ilucr.ee was at work causing the gold to form around the little grain of Iron ore and then grow to become a bright, shining nugget of gold nnicii larger and purer thnu auy ever found In th • veins of ore.” Ileniarkable Luck. 11l Gold Hill, Nev., in 1x77. one of the mining Ixisses—iTole by name—had trouble with some of the laborers in his mine. One night three of them attacked him in a barroom. Two of them i pinned liitn down, while a third stood ’ over hint with a revolver. The muzzle almost touehi'd Ills stomach. Once. !
