Gold and Silver in Clarla County. 141 



The result ot the assay on these samples, however, was the 

 same as before, save that in this case, the difference between 

 the weight of the button obtained and the silver in the lith- 

 urge used, was not fully made up by the weight of the gold ; 

 the presence of silver was thus indicated. In making a fur- 

 ther assay some time afterwards, I obtained an unmistakable 

 amount of silver. And during the fall just past, Mr. Theo- 

 dore Bowman, of the University, made two assays, in which 

 he obtained the following results :
