Show Utah Government Publication: 1880 "There are ten sampling mills in the Territory; one at the Horn Silver, one in Mr. Campbell's mill at Milford, two at Park City, four at Sandy and vicinity, two in Salt Lake City. Together they sampled the past year about 87,000 tons of ore. Ordinarily only the fifth or tenth sack of a lot of ore is sampled, and the cost is $1 per ton for the whole of it. Where the whole is sampled the charge is $4 a ton. The sampler crushes the ore to the size of pease, thoroughly mixes, and sends sealed packages to the assayers, upon whose certificates it is bought and sold." source: http://library.byu.edu/-govinfo/bibmormons/citations/921 .htm |
