Some Interesting Information: From the Mining and Bogineoring Review, tached by those who are ignorant of the subject, to the “nitric acid test,” or the “good acid test,” as it is sometimes called, and few who speak of it know how to apply it or what it signifies. Only three metals in common use are known that acid will not affect. These three metals are gold, platinum and aluminum, Copper, silver, plating metal, brass and all combinations of copper, silver, lead, spelter and zine are soluble in nitric acid. Nitric acid alone has no more effect on gold that is better than 10 karat than so much water. It requires a mixture of acids to dis‘solve both gold and platinum as no, one kind of acid will affect either, and from this fact gold and. platinum were considered the precious metals, and from this originated the acid test. Gold in its pure state is the heaviest and most malleable metal known, and pure gold, or fine gold as it is called, is designated ‘by karats and thousandths. Pure gold is 24 karats fine, and the purest gold that can be obtained—government gold—assays 999-1000 fine. As pare gold is very soft and wears easily by friction, it has been the custom to mix it with other metals, usually copper and gjlver, and_the proportions of pure gold and the mixture of other metals used determines the karat. means that 22 parts, or 22-24 of the entire weight, is pure gold, and that 2 parts, or 2-24 is alloy. The qualities most used in the manufacture, of jewelry and ornaments— for honest goods—are 18 karat, 14 karat, 12 karat and 10 karat. 12 karat gold consists of 12-24 of pure gold and 12-24 of alloy—copper and silver—so that 12 karat gold is just half pure gold, and should assay 600-1000 fine. 10 karat gold is the lowest grade that will staud the nitric acid test or give any satisfaction as to wear. 6 karat gold, being 6-24 pure gold and 18-24 alloy, is only 44 pure gold and should assay 250-1000 fine. “CAMEL RACES. — Tests of Speed Between Them Bnthuse the Lovers of Sport in Far-Off Algeria. Camel races are held regularly in the are offered for the encouragement of the breed of racers, and as much interest is taken in their preparation and performance as in that of race horses at Latonia. The racing camels are the remany generations, and in size, temper and appearance they are so different from the ordinary beast of burden that they might almost be considered a different race of animals, Perhaps the most conspicuous characteristic of the ordinary camel is its extreme slowness. Nothing on earth will ever induce it to hurry. A $20 note will buy a very fair specimen, but for a mehari, or racing») camel, five or ten times that sum is required to effect a purchase. The racer, however, can be depended on for nine or ten miles an hour, and kept up for 16 or 17 hours almost without a stop. The pace in a camel’s race is generally fast and furious at the beginning, when all the animals are together and seem to realize that a.contest is in progress. Cannon Balls Made of Gold, — .

Twenty of the Ourly Bears of Cave No. 1 went from this city Saturday or} evening to attend the organizing of cave at Colfax. They were armed with cords of firecrackers, an eight-foot tin horn and other instruments of torture, and had for their slogan: “Who we are, Who we are, Cave Number One, Ourly B’ar. Yum, yum, yum ! Yum, yum, yum! Cave Number One, Curly B’ar, You Bet You're Colfax!” At Grass Valley ‘the “hairy gang” serenaded and cheered Hon. John F. Kidder, and they likewise burned a great quantity of powder in his honor. As they pulled into Colfax the train resembled a flying streak of flame with the thousands of firecrackers that-were: popping from every platform and window. Ona flat-car next to the coach occupied by the Curlys colored lights were burned and bombs were exploded and the din and glare’ were indescribable. The Nevada countyans were given a cordial welcome by the Curly Bears of Dutch Flat, Forest and Iowa Hills, Sunny South, Lincoln and other parts of Placer, aided and abetted by the Native Sons and citizens of Colfax. Tt was a night of fun and confusion that the pretty little Placer county town’s people will not forget for awhile. It took till after two o'clock in the morning to institute the new cave, and the wandering cubs who were converted into genuine brutes will long carry with them the memories of their eventful experiences on that occasion. The local Curlys got home at 9:45 yesterday morning. They were the worse for wear and appeared more docile than when they sallied forth, but they all agree that they had the best kind of a time. Tomorrow evening Cave No, 1 will have a “growl” and take into the fold two or three jolly Native Sons who yearn for the joys of brutehood. CHILDREN IN VACATION. ADVICE TO MOTHERS.

It is still.customary for a woman to accept the arm of her masculine companion when going to dinner at a fashionable function, but this, too, will soon doubtless pass away. Indeed, there are already signs of decadence. For some time past the lunch party has resolved itself into an indescribable scramble to find one’s place, and a seat between two unknown persons to whom you are afraid to make a remark lest something untoward should ensue. This season the same lack of ceremony decrees that + our-ingenuesmust march about a-ball. room without taking their partners’ arm, and our dowagers go down to sup= per without any more masculine sup§ port than is afforded by the wound of a black coat. The support of a gentleman’s . arm: was once considered indispensable to the ladies. In the ’40s and ’50s husbands and wives not only walked the streets and appeared in the park inexorably linked, but it was the proper thing for them to enter a drawing-room arm-inarm at a dinner party or a rout. You may still, now and again, see very quiet, old-fashioned people doing so.°: The wife, whatever her character or temperament, was held by society at large to be a gentle, helpless, dependent creature, too modest to be capable of entering a crowded party by herself.

Some Interesting Information: From the Mining and Bogineoring Review, tached by those who are ignorant of the subject, to the “nitric acid test,” or the “good acid test,” as it is sometimes called, and few who speak of it know how to apply it or what it signifies. Only three metals in common use are known that acid will not affect. These three metals are gold, platinum and aluminum, Copper, silver, plating metal, brass and all combinations of copper, silver, lead, spelter and zine are soluble in nitric acid. Nitric acid alone has no more effect on gold that is better than 10 karat than so much water. It requires a mixture of acids to dis‘solve both gold and platinum as no, one kind of acid will affect either, and from this fact gold and. platinum were considered the precious metals, and from this originated the acid test. Gold in its pure state is the heaviest and most malleable metal known, and pure gold, or fine gold as it is called, is designated ‘by karats and thousandths. Pure gold is 24 karats fine, and the purest gold that can be obtained—government gold—assays 999-1000 fine. As pare gold is very soft and wears easily by friction, it has been the custom to mix it with other metals, usually copper and gjlver, and_the proportions of pure gold and the mixture of other metals used determines the karat. means that 22 parts, or 22-24 of the entire weight, is pure gold, and that 2 parts, or 2-24 is alloy. The qualities most used in the manufacture, of jewelry and ornaments— for honest goods—are 18 karat, 14 karat, 12 karat and 10 karat. 12 karat gold consists of 12-24 of pure gold and 12-24 of alloy—copper and silver—so that 12 karat gold is just half pure gold, and should assay 600-1000 fine. 10 karat gold is the lowest grade that will staud the nitric acid test or give any satisfaction as to wear. 6 karat gold, being 6-24 pure gold and 18-24 alloy, is only 44 pure gold and should assay 250-1000 fine. “CAMEL RACES. — Tests of Speed Between Them Bnthuse the Lovers of Sport in Far-Off Algeria. Camel races are held regularly in the are offered for the encouragement of the breed of racers, and as much interest is taken in their preparation and performance as in that of race horses at Latonia. The racing camels are the remany generations, and in size, temper and appearance they are so different from the ordinary beast of burden that they might almost be considered a different race of animals, Perhaps the most conspicuous characteristic of the ordinary camel is its extreme slowness. Nothing on earth will ever induce it to hurry. A $20 note will buy a very fair specimen, but for a mehari, or racing») camel, five or ten times that sum is required to effect a purchase. The racer, however, can be depended on for nine or ten miles an hour, and kept up for 16 or 17 hours almost without a stop. The pace in a camel’s race is generally fast and furious at the beginning, when all the animals are together and seem to realize that a.contest is in progress. Cannon Balls Made of Gold, — .

Twenty of the Ourly Bears of Cave No. 1 went from this city Saturday or} evening to attend the organizing of cave at Colfax. They were armed with cords of firecrackers, an eight-foot tin horn and other instruments of torture, and had for their slogan: “Who we are, Who we are, Cave Number One, Ourly B’ar. Yum, yum, yum ! Yum, yum, yum! Cave Number One, Curly B’ar, You Bet You're Colfax!” At Grass Valley ‘the “hairy gang” serenaded and cheered Hon. John F. Kidder, and they likewise burned a great quantity of powder in his honor. As they pulled into Colfax the train resembled a flying streak of flame with the thousands of firecrackers that-were: popping from every platform and window. Ona flat-car next to the coach occupied by the Curlys colored lights were burned and bombs were exploded and the din and glare’ were indescribable. The Nevada countyans were given a cordial welcome by the Curly Bears of Dutch Flat, Forest and Iowa Hills, Sunny South, Lincoln and other parts of Placer, aided and abetted by

the Native Sons and citizens of Colfax. Tt was a night of fun and confusion that the pretty little Placer county town’s people will not forget for awhile. It took till after two o'clock in the morning to institute the new cave, and the wandering cubs who were converted into genuine brutes will long carry with them the memories of their eventful experiences on that occasion. The local Curlys got home at 9:45 yesterday morning. They were the worse for wear and appeared more docile than when they sallied forth, but they all agree that they had the best kind of a time. Tomorrow evening Cave No, 1 will have a “growl” and take into the fold two or three jolly Native Sons who yearn for the joys of brutehood. CHILDREN IN VACATION. ADVICE TO MOTHERS.

It is still.customary for a woman to accept the arm of her masculine companion when going to dinner at a fashionable function, but this, too, will soon doubtless pass away. Indeed, there are already signs of decadence. For some time past the lunch party has resolved itself into an indescribable scramble to find one’s place, and a seat between two unknown persons to whom you are afraid to make a remark lest something untoward should ensue. This season the same lack of ceremony decrees that + our-ingenuesmust march about a-ball. room without taking their partners’ arm, and our dowagers go down to sup= per without any more masculine sup§ port than is afforded by the wound of a black coat. The support of a gentleman’s . arm: was once considered indispensable to the ladies. In the ’40s and ’50s husbands and wives not only walked the streets and appeared in the park inexorably linked, but it was the proper thing for them to enter a drawing-room arm-inarm at a dinner party or a rout. You may still, now and again, see very quiet, old-fashioned people doing so.°: The wife, whatever her character or temperament, was held by society at large to be a gentle, helpless, dependent creature, too modest to be capable of entering a crowded party by herself.
