“No tab of the fortunes which have
been built up by North America in the
republics of Latin America would be com

Herry Meiggs Hi otcratlon in C’hlla

Henry MeUrg* learned the lesson of
finance in a school where large figures
were common Asa young mar he passed
through the years when California was
the world's Eldorado aid gold was more
plentiful in som* sections than was the
water with which to wash it. He rose to
the crest of the golden wave, and ht# for
tune was estimated then at several mil
lions The time of reaction caught him
I aided with properties upon which he
could not quickly realize ready coin, and
with many others he sank before the
flood, not only losing his property, but
burled under an avalanche of debt.
% Fugitive Debtor.
“In October. I*’*4 Meiggs left Han Fran

“For several >ears h s whereabouts were
unknown, and then word came up from
tne Booth RacMlc of ihe gigantic ooera
t'ons then being engineered by a daring
“peculator named Metggs Investigation
allowed this to bo none other than Henry
Meiggs the man who had fled from debt
to California Then Meiggs' creditors be
gan to hear from him. and one by one
the California debt# w* re wl|*ed out. Even
i wahherwumun to whom he owed a few
dollars was sought out by his agents,
who wer** instructed r.ot only to pay the
longstanding laundry bill, but add enough
gold to place the poor woman forever be
yond want. One lot of debts M*dgss *'•
<-lined to i*a> until by a readjustment th.*
full amount of the claims might be pas
no*! to tlc original creditors These were
claims which had been purchased for a
song by speculator# when the first rumor
of Mcigg# Houth American success reach
and the California coast To the clamorous
brokers he turned a deaf ear. but declared
himself ready at any time to meet the
full obligations with Interest If he could
pay the sum claimed Into the hands of
Ids original creditors For a time the
brokers held out. but as Metggs was safe
fiom attack they finally were obliged to
yield, and the money for thousands of
Meiggs' debts was thus forced by him into
the possession of Its rightful owners
“Meanwhile the South American fortune
had grown Metggs cleared a full million
from a contract for the building of (Tille’s
first railroad between the port of Val
paraiso and Santiago de Chile.
\ Multi-Millionaire,
“Next came the construction of Peru’s
original railway line between Mollendo
and Arequlpa. which doubled Meiggs’ for
tune Every contract was made directly
with ihe government of the republic where
in the road was to te built, Hchem* after
seneme. each more g gantic than the otner,
was successfully carried out. Metggs at
one tlm* offered to build a breakwa e
at the mouth of Valparaiso’s harbor if
tha Chilean government would give him
a ninety-nine years lease of its sheltered
M*le. Forty millions would this venture
nave cost, but the principal harbor of
Chile would have been rendered safe for
all time The Chileans feared Meiggs
ripkl strides to wealth, and demanded a
krge price for the rental of the shelter
♦ and side of the breakwater, even should
the work be done without cost to the re
public. Consequently, the project failed,
and to-day the wind-swept bay Is with

much of It to do. Thu*, no Mt of silver I
ever lost to ihe world, and baitere! o I
relics may reappear to-morrow In ec
gantly chased new designs. A, oj.l candy
I, made over and over Into new carim I,
until finally eaten. ,0 I, old silver nude
over and ovrr Indefinitely.
In Ihe smaller bits of gold and silver
that come, to the mint tire ring, and
broken Jewel, that eem to thrill with
-enllroent as they *0 to liquid In the flerca
furnaces. It Is surplrslng how many love
token, find thetr way there to he purified
In flame. Toys, engagement rings, pres
entation badge*, and odd coins are min
gled Into a common mas* In the furnace.
Often article* of exiremc value come to
the furnace* In theae odd lot*, hut even
If the ■'•*v office employee recognise a
treasure, they may not save It without
ihe consent of tho owner, for he may
have an especial reason for wanting Ii
destroyed. Employ** occasionally do
save rare article, but with the content
of the owner and by replacing It whh
metal of equal value.
All Ihe sliver or gold brought In by one
owner I, known as a melt. Each melt I*
handled sepalately up to the moment the
refining process begins. If the owner
take It awy before It Is refined, he will
take the Identical metal he brought. Re
fining I, done In wholesale quantities, and
If an owner want* refined metal he must
urremler his Impure bullion and receive
In refined metal the quantity the tests
have shown to exist In the gross bar,.
The melting furnace* are run from 8
o'clock to t dally, The fuel I, gas, aided
by a blast. To melt silver It de
gree, Fahrenheit; to melt gold. I.MO de
gree, Thl, heat will turn the metal Into
dquld In neventy-flve minute. One fur
nace will run off 25,000 ounce* of gold In
a day, or Soon of silver. Molten silver
look, like weak tea heavy with sugar
,yrup; gold like rare oil Tokay. Each
ha, an Indefinite, elthereal appearance
that may really eslet, but which more
probably exist. In the mind of the ob
servers only because he trie, to appreciate
the extreme value of the liquid a. It 1*
poured like water from furnace to mold.
The ordinary mold I* of the slxe of a
building brick. It ! of sleel. the Inner
surface highly polished and smeaerd with
■wwt lard A, the rich flood fall, Into
It the lard spring, Into flame, and keep,
on burning after the metal ha, come to
tet, miking a little wall of fire about It.
The odor of burning lard I, strong In th#
turnace-room w hile a melt Is being pour
ed off Each mold when full will hold
;<*> ounces of silver or JOO of gold. The
metal Is left to etand In the mold, but a
moment, for Ihe Instant It I* hard enough
to stand alone It ! turned out onto a
metal table At first H Is a deep red then
gradually cool* and assumes Its proper
color. The weight and fineness are
stamped before the brick, leave thl, ta

The Aeenyers at Work.
Perhaps the most Interesting process,
however, le that of refining The usual
method le to put gold and silver Into one
riellipg pot in ihe proportion eX two paru
1 f silver to one of gokl This I, poured
off Into broad, shallow mold*, that leave
It, when cold. In the *hape of waffle*, a
foot *quare and * quarter of an inch
thick, and permeated with round hole*
There plates ire hoisted to the fifth
floor, where they sre lolled for six hour,
In great pot, filled with sulphuric acid
There an ten of these boiling pois. and
they are kept busy, consuming aliout V.-
lui pounds of acid dally. As you enter this
bolilng-room the fumes that ar* driven
from the prgetou* porridge sting your
throat and make you gasp and cough, bui
tlie men who work here have been yean
at It, and they say their health Is excel
lent
When the boiling process I* finished It
is found lhai the acid ha* eaten up all
of the metal but the gold The gold lies
as meal In the bottom of the pot,, th
sliver and gross metal* being held In su*
pension. The liquid l syphoned off and
run to the floor below, where It Is put Into
grat copf*r-Unc! vats Plate* of pure
copper are put Into H Here M steam la
forced Into It Gradually the silver In the
solution Is deposited on the bottom and
sides of the vats In a white meal, Its pla'"
In the solution blrg taken by copper, un
til all Ihe sliver has been deposited
The liquid syphoned from the gold I*
sulphate of silver, now It Is syphoned
from the silver as sulphate of copper
Tht, sulphate of copper Is run now Into
\at, on floor below,where It Is left stand
ing for five days In xinc-llned vat*. In’o
w hich strips of pure xlni ar* suspended.
The copper In the liquid crystallies on the
strip, of sine a, blue vitriol.
The firs: of these crystals sre wenk and
dull, and they are mode Ir. o a second so
lution, after which they fi rm crystals of
.1 blue so brilliant that ll delight, ihe eye
and seems ico beautiful to lx- the deadly
poison that It ts. Tnl* blue vitriol Is sold
for Sij cents a pound, for making elec
tric batteries. It can he reduced hack to
the original copper, but the government
ha, noi room to handle It and finds It
simpler to sell It and buy fresh copper.
There Is sill. 1 per cent, of copper In the
liquid, beside* lead and any ether gross
metals that might have been In the orig
inal plate or gold 'lust. T!.l dquld 1* so.d

In the metal the silver and Ihe gold mtal
left behind Is very pure The gold and
sliver con be remixed and re-refined over
and over urntl practically purr They are
seldom made more than 1W pure.
Now the gold and sliver meal has been
left behind In the bottoms of the respect
ive pots and vats. Each metal Is treated
alike. It 1* collect'd from pit und vat
with copper hose anal put Into tub,, where
hot water Is poured upon It while i> Is
stirred with .1 woolen ladle The washing
process Is kept up until the wat r that
runs off I, clean. Then It Is put Into large
tubs and hot water Is run over It with a
hose. The water run off In this washing
I, carefully rolirnel and ,tr.lined ten

metal escapes.

pressing Is to dry It. As the mights

water that if put Into one of the super*

he converted Into steam and explode. So
the cheeses are lined up In a drying vat
heated with steam and with hot steam
p’pes as shelves. There they are baked
en hours, after which they are ready
for any use.
The extreme value of the meal of gold
makes It necessary that the men in this
department be of unquestioned honesiy
and ability That accounts for the fact
• hat they have been there many yen re,
for a faithful man once found is never
discharged, and the pay is so certain nr.d
the fascination of the work such that

From the Literary Dlg>st.
Bound is a form of energy, and nedey
sound Is generally Indicative of waste
energy. "\V> are so accustomed." says
Cassler's Magaxlne. “to regard soun.l as
the natural acotnpanlment of mechanical
motion that the fact that It is a monltor
lal voice, ever telling us of energy wasted
generally escapes attention The noise of
running wheels, of moving water, the
crackling of a belt, the hum of a dynamo,
the cattle of a motor ear or a railway
train, are as sure Indications of energy
resolved into a useless form as the crash
of broken crockery ard the lamentations
of a careless servant.
Does one grasp that every puff of PX I
haust (In a locomotivei means that * s
still full of energy art allow.d to expend I
It valuelessly in disturbing the atmos
phere; that every jar and rumble and
shake means expenditure of power which
the engine has to provide’ A mile on the
bone-shaker of thirty years ago was harder
work than ten on a modern bicycle and
it proclaimed the fact that It was a.i In
tfflclent and extravagant machln. In a
sufficiently noisy manner Even with t>pe
writers and sewing-machines, the lees
noise they make the less lower Is absorb
ed in working them. Generally speaking • •
the less noise machinery makes the more
efficient It Is likely to tie. Even the Inter
losltlon of some non-resonant material,
as. for example, the use of wooden or
hide teeth In wheels, while reducing sound.
If we may so put It In a more or less ficti
tious manner, adds to the efficiency, be,
cause It Introduces a resilience which
minimises shocks. Just as the springs of
a coach make It not only more comfort
able for the passenger, but easier going
for the horses. The question of friction
and the noise produced by rubbing sur
face* Is of very considerable and much
more frequently recognised Importance,
but materially It differs but little either
In expression or In effect from the noise
of shock A tod or wlte can as readily be
caused to produce a note by rubblni: It
with a resinous glove as by strik ng It
with a hammer ltow close the c nne 1:0.1
Is a moment's consideration will show,
and will give us tile hint lh.it we cure f.nle
halt the complaints In ollb g machinery If
we still allow knock, and Jump from one
evil to anolher If In older to reduce fric
tion we leave excerslve play."
