CITIZENS ASKED TO AID
IN PREVENTING FIRES
Sacramento, July 2—FoHNowing
the issuance of a. proclamation by
Governor Rolph calling on the
citizens of California to prevent
forest and grain fires during the
coming dry season, E. Raymond
Cato, Superintendent of the California Highway Patrol ‘has instructed
all members of the patrol to exereise special vigilance in apprehending violators of the law prohibiting
the throwing of lighted cigars, cigarettes, matches and other glowing
substances from moving motor vehicles.
Persons caught throwing such material from cars will be charged
with a misdemeanor in accordance
with the law, it was stated.
The officers were instructed to
warn motorists who smoke to use
ash receptacles for cigar and cigarette butts.
“Every effort must be made to
prevent fires."’ Cato’s order said.
Officers of the patorl were instructed to assist members of the
United Frest Service and the state
Division of Forestry in establishing
lines of communication, directing
traffic, etc., in areas where fires
are buringin.
Attendants at border checking
stations will instruct non-residents
inthe law an d warn them of the
danger of fire in forested areas and

ANOTHER GOLD FIND

Next to the American Revolution,
perhaps the most important event in
the history of this nation was the
discovery of gold in California.
It brought the first great influx
of population to the Pacific Coast,
the first railway to span the continent. It decided that the Stars and
Stripes, and not
to the
Straits of Georgia.
Gold discoveries have been forerunners of civilization the world
over. Another coming now would

day for which there is unlimited
demand. Reduction of interest rates
on savings deposits undoubtedly will
take some idle money from the
bank vaults and place it into goldmining or gold-prospecting ventures. .
‘The public should: bear in mind
that the only effective dollar is the
one that will buy treasury stock.
The search for gold is not aided by j
the purchase in the open market of . sociates of Southern California,

There is a great difference between
financing the search for gold and
speculating in gold-mining stocks.

This suddenly popular bulletin,
“Elementary Methods of Placer Mining,’’ was written by Prof. W. W.
Staley of the minés school faculty.
Since early last fall the school of
mines has been receiving calls from
all parts” of the country for information on placer ‘mining, many of the
inquiries are evidently from amateur
miners about to set out for the hills
in the search for gold. The bulletin
was authorized by the bureau of
mines and geology, primarily to set
jforth the desired information in a
simple and condensed form to people
inexperienced in mining. .
The first edition was exhausted
three weeks after it was announced
The second edition. is now on the
press. The bulletin is 20 pages long,
including five pages of drawings and
diagrams. Professor Staley discnsses
the geology of placer deposits; describes methods of panning gold,
construction of rockers, sluices, and
other simple equipment; amalgamation, and a breif survey of mining
laws.
The popularity of the bulletin is
a@ result of the widespread interest
in gold mining, a condition brough.
about largely by the low prices of
other metals, Dean French believes.

GOLD LOST IN FLOTATION
Microscopic study of the form in
which gold was lost in flotation experiments on an oxidized ore from
the Tintic District, Utah, was recently made in the
tive work between the United States
Bureau of Mines and _ the
sity of Utah.
The result of this’ study established the fact that’ the gold in the
flotation tailing was present in thé
metallic form and that the greater
portion of the gold particles lost
were smaller than 200 mesh.
A comparison of the gold particles in the tailing with those recoyered in the concentrate showed that
the surfaces of the majority of the
Particles lost were tarnished a
brown color, but those in the concentrate were relatively clean and
bright.
Although the exact nature of the
tarnish on the gold in the tailings
was not conclusively determined, it
was readily removed by hydrochloric acid. This, and other’ evidence,
indicates that it is probably an
iron salt.—Mining Truth.
