Excerpt from The Lump of Gold Certainly, no inhabitant of that place was more happy than he when richly rewarded after his toil some efforts of separating the debris by rushing the water down the sluice boxes, leaving only the black sand and quicksilver, then delving in the bottom to scoop it. Frequently the gold was only dust and required the aid of quicksilver, which separates into myriads of tiny balls like shot, when urged on by the swift current of water, rolled and tumbled along the sur face and into every crack, corner and crevice of the boxes, gathering the millions of minute particles of gold in its embrace. How Uncle's arms would ache after shoveling, picking, sweeping, and panning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
