Good News
The School of mines, in Columbia College, New York, offers to assay such ores
as may be sent to that institution, and to publish each assay in the New York
journals, free of expense to the parties furnishing the ores. This is a very
liberal suggestion, and might be advantageously availed of by miners in California,
Nevada, and elsewhere.
