COMPISITR I A
Facts Abut Gold:
Gold,-next to iron, is the most widely
diffused metal upon the Surface of our
globe,! - It occurs in granite, the oldest
rock known: to us, and in 'all the rocks
derived from it ; it is also found in' the
vein-stones 'which traverse other geolog
ical formations but hi never been , found'
in' any : seconda ry
,feriniiiiori. It is, heti l
-
ever, much 'more common "in alluvial
grounds, than among primitive endPyro-1
genions rocks. It is found disseminatedl
under the form of spinet*. in the silie
ions,'argillaceons, and .fern3ginotis sands
of certain plains add' rivers, - especially in
their junction, at the season of , low water,
and after storms and temporary floods.
It is the only metal of a yellow color; it
is readily crystalizable, and always
aa
snmes One or other of the,symmetrical
shapes, such as the cube.or zeoular octa
hedron. It affords a resplendalt polish,
and may be exposed to the atmosphere
for any length of time without suffering
chang,e; it is remarkable for its beauty;
it is nineteen times heavier than water,
and, next to platinum, the heaviest known
substance;
its m'aleability is Such that a
cubic inch will cover twenty-five hundred
square feet; its ductility is such' that a
lump of the value of four brindred,dollars
could be drawn into a wire which would
extend around the globe. It is first men
tioned in Gen: ii., 11. ' It was found in
the country of Havillah, where the rivers
Euphrates and Tigris unite and discharge
their waters into the Persian Gulfi
From the commencement of the Christ
ian era to the discovery of America, the
amount of gold obtained from the surface
and bowels of the earth is estimated ; to be
thirty-eight hundred millions of dollars.
From the date of the latter event to the
'close of 1842, an addition of twenty-eight
; hundred millions was obtained. The dis
co very and extensive working of the' Rns-
Isian mines added, to the close of 1852,
six hundred millions more. The double
I discovery of the California mines in 1848,
and the\Australian in 1851, has , added,
to the present time, two thousand mil
lions ; making a grind total ; to the pres
ent time, of ninety two hundred millions
of dollars, The averag e loss by. wear and
tear'of coin is estimated to be a tenth of
one per cent. per annum; and the loss by ,
consumption 'in the arts, and by - fires and
shipwreck, at from one to three millions'
per annum:
A cubic inch of gold is worth (at £3
17s, 10id., or $18.69, Per ounce) one
hundred and forty-six dollars; a cubic
foot, two hundred and fifty-two thonsaml
two hundred and eightv-eight •dollars; a
cubic yard, six. millions eight hundred
and eleven thousand seven hundred and
seventy-six dollars. The amount of gold
in existauec at the commencement of the
ChriStian -era is estimated to be four hun
dred and twenty-seven millions of dollars;
at the period of the discovery of America
lit had diminished to fifty-seven milliens.
After -the occurrence of that eveut it grad
, ually increased, and in 1600 it bad a.t
tained to one hundred and five millions;
in 1700, to three hundred and fifty-One
millions; in 1800, to eleven hundred and;
twenty-five millions; in 1843, to two
thousand millions; in 1853, to three
thousand millions; and at the present
time the amount of gold in existence is
estimated "to be forty-six hundred millions
of dollars ; which, welded in one mass,
could be - contained in a cube of twenty- .
seven feet. Of the amount now in exist
ence three„thousand millions is estimated
(9 be in coin and bullion, and the remian
, der in watches, jewelry, plate, &c., &n.
Since 1792, to the close of 1860, it . he
