MAKING GOLD CHLORIDE. 

 Reeb, in a paper presented to a French 

 photographic society, recommends the fol- 

 lowing method of making gold chloride for 

 photographic use : 



Thin sheet gold.... 50 grams. 



Sodium chloride.... 15 grams. 



Nitric acid 40 cubic centimeters. 



Hydrochloric acid. . 160 cubic centimeters. 



Place in a porcelain dish on a sand bath 

 and dissolve. Cover the dish with a fun- 

 nel to prevent waste during the process of 

 solution. When solution has taken place 

 evaporate till the salt begins to crystallize 

 on the sides of the dish, then add 5 cubic 

 centimeters of aqua regia diluted with .so 

 cubic centimeters of water, to insure a 

 slightly acid product, and dilute to 1,000 

 cubic centimeters. A solution is thus ob- 

 tained which contains 10 per cent of gold 

 chloride, equivalent to 5 per cent of 

 metallic gold.

Have used many of the best rifles of this 

 ountry's manufacture, in calibers 22 to 45. 

 For 2 years I used the .303 Savage. I found 

 it an accurate, hard shooting arm. I do not 

 think there is any ground for fear of the 

 bullets glancing or not penetrating if the 

 game is hit squarely. In the fall of 1900 

 I shot a 200-pound buck which stood a little 

 over 100 yards from me. The bullet hit 

 him in the shoulder. He dropped with- 

 out making a single jump. Last fall I 

 bought a Remington-Lee sporting rifle. 7 

 m. m. caliber. I tested it at the target ; 

 later, in deer season, I shot 2 bucks with 

 it. I prefer this rifle to any other I have 

 used. Its shooting points are equal to the 

 best. The action is sure and simple. Can 

 be easily taken apart inside of a minute, 

 consequently it is easy to clean. Then its 

 weight is but 6 J /> pounds. This means 

 much to the man who carries the rifle 

 on a 15 or 20 mile tramp'. One of the deer 

 I shot last season was about 90 yards from 

 me, running. The bullet caught him back 

 of the front leg, and he dropped in his 

 tracks. The other was a 200-pound buck, 

 running broadside to me. The bullet hit 

 him just back of the shoulder, and stopped 

 him instantly. In both cases the bullet 

 passed completely through the deer. For 

 hunting purposes I use soft nose bullets.
