I learned my trade with one of my uncles, who was an expert goldsmith, and when he died, years ago, I fell heir to his bench and table and tbe kit of tools with which he , stocked for upward of a quarter of a century. l'he table was a massive affair, made of oak, that bad turned ; almeet as black as ebony, and the top was fully ale inches thick, It wee built extra heavy be order to give it ; steadiness, and it mounted a small 'lathe and polisher, operated by a 1. tread.e.

I slid not under- stand. the method used. in extracting, and turned the bench and table over to a mint expert on shares. Be cut the • wood into small slivers and treated it with acid. It was a tedious job, and I have since been told that we lost a good deal of the metal by not burn- ing the pieces and then amelting the ash; but, at any rate the proce.sa yielded. us a little over $460. For years and years the lathe had sent ashower of impalpable gold dust over the table top and bench, and in the course of time it had entirely permeated the wood. The interior of the thick slabs sparkled with it when they were laid open by the saw, and there was scarce- ly a wee that did not yield its quota of the metal.
