Personal Recollections of Early Melbourne and Victoria Great would be my wonder if the West African as well as the East African Ghats did not prove auriferous; both fulfil all the required conditions, and both await actual discovery. Two Trips to Gorilla Land and the Cataracts of the Congo Volume 1 Though little of his journey was through new country, yet it had the valuable result of proving the non-existence of auriferous country in the belt traversed. Spinifex and Sand I at one time, after having studied the auriferous quartz veins of Australia, advocated this theory, which was first insisted upon by Sir R.I. The Naturalist in Nicaragua On several of the lower rises, quartz reefs crop out, and some of the quartz which I examined had every appearance of being auriferous, except the main one--the colour of the gold. Successful Exploration Through the Interior of Australia Sir Charles, I ought to say, had secured during that summer a very advantageous option in a part of Africa on the Transvaal frontier, rumoured to be auriferous.

The Trimmed Lamp, and other Stories of the Four Million Its source is usually either quartz rock, called auriferous quartz, or sand in placer mines. An Introduction to Chemical Science Assays of auriferous lode material are almost invariably worthless as a guide in the real value of the stone in quantity.

Mr. Jack Hamlin's Mediation There are, however, vast areas of the earth's surface where this most precious element is lamentably lacking, and such, unfortunately, is the case in many rich auriferous districts. Getting Gold: a practical treatise for prospectors, miners and students Hardly one of us, I think, really believed in the auriferous probabilities of Eureka Gulch. The Heritage of Dedlow Marsh and Other Tales Soon we had other matters to think about, for on the 12th we found ourselves on the outskirts of auriferous country and were lucky in reaching plenty of water. Spinifex and Sand But I discovered the ledge and its auriferous character myself. In a Hollow of the Hills It deposited a single passenger,—Miles Hemmingway, of San Francisco, but originally of Boston,—the young secretary of a mining company, dispatched to report upon the alleged auriferous value of "Jules'." Mr. Jack Hamlin's Mediation The first mode of obtaining this much desired metal was doubtless by washing the sand of rivers which flowed through auriferous strata. Getting Gold: a practical treatise for prospectors, miners and students Mrs. O'Brien heard, and lifted an auriferous head. Strictly business: more stories of the four million We made camp amongst some auriferous hills in what is now known as the Niagara District, and within a few miles of a spot where, subsequently, a rich find of gold was made.

Getting Gold: a practical treatise for prospectors, miners and students "Ah!" said he, showing an auriferous tooth, "we have quite a number of the Western delegates stopping here." Strictly business: more stories of the four million During this trip he accomplished much useful work, discovering considerable extents of auriferous country now dotted with mining camps and towns. Spinifex and Sand It was in the Kimberley district that I met these parties of prospectors; and I may here remark that I had for some time been aware of the existence of this auriferous region. The Adventures of Louis De Rougemont A few miles past the Brockman the auriferous country is cut off by what is locally known as the “Sandstone”—a sheer, wall-like range named the Albert Edward. Spinifex and Sand The idea is exploded that auriferous lodes necessarily improve in value with depth. Getting Gold: a practical treatise for prospectors, miners and students One or two prospectors have passed through a portion of it, and they speak well of its pastoral and, possibly, auriferous value. Spinifex and Sand It has been argued that since Giles, for example, passed the Coolgardie district without finding gold, therefore there is every probability of the rest of the country through which he passed being auriferous. Spinifex and Sand On the north side of Christmas Creek we crossed the first auriferous country we had seen since leaving the Neckersgat Range, close to Lake Darlot. Spinifex and Sand Assuming that they did exist, the task of accounting for the mode of occurrence of our auriferous quartz lodes is comparatively simple. Getting Gold: a practical treatise for prospectors, miners and students These drifts which are auriferous from grass roots to bed rock extend for nearly fifty miles, and are in places over 200 feet deep. Getting Gold: a practical treatise for prospectors, miners and students About fourteen years ago I obtained some rather remarkable results from simply boiling auriferous ferro-sulphides in water. Getting Gold: a practical treatise for prospectors, miners and students We spent three days in exploring the hills, but failed to see any auriferous indications, excepting in the immediate neighbourhood of Mount Shenton. Spinifex and Sand I have found it practicable to produce most natural looking specimens of auriferous quartz from stone which previously, as proved by assay, contained no gold whatever. Getting Gold: a practical treatise for prospectors, miners and students With regard to auriferous pyritic lodes, it does not appear even now to be clear, as some scientists assert, that their gold is never found in chemical combination with the sulphides of the base metals. Getting Gold: a practical treatise for prospectors, miners and students The torrid, temperate, and frigid zones are almost equally auriferous. Getting Gold: a practical treatise for prospectors, miners and students They imagined that the breakers were disintegrating some abnormally rich auriferous reefs out at sea, and that the resultant gold was washed up on the beach. Getting Gold: a practical treatise for prospectors, miners and students We were unable to pay more than a flying visit to Mount Ida, but sufficiently long to assure us of the auriferous character of its neighbourhood. Spinifex and Sand So far as my experiments have extended they have proved this, that it was not essential that the silica and gold should have been deposited at the one time in auriferous lodes. Getting Gold: a practical treatise for prospectors, miners and students We must remember that the particles of gold in the stone may be enveloped with a film of auriferous sulphide, by which they are protected from the solvent actions of the mercury.
