Mark Twain had a brief but highly
illuminating experience in metallur
gy, to which he devotes some space
in “Roughing It." After having as
certained how long and dismal a job
it was to burrow into the bowels of
the earth and get the coveted ore, he
learned that this was only half the
work, and that to get the silver and
gold out of the ore was the other
half of a dreary and laborious task.
In the course of a vivid description
of a pan-amalgamation mill of the
period he observes: “One would not
suppose that atoms of gold and silver
would float on top of six inches of
water, but they did."
Mark stayed in the mill only one
week, when he told )iis employer
that, while thoroughly infatuated
with the business, he felt constrained
to ask for an increase in salary.
Whereupon the superintendent replied
that he was paying him $10 per week,
and that he thought it a good round
sum: “How much did he want?"
Mark replied that he wished $400,000
per month and board, which was about
all he could reasonably ask, consider
ing the hard times. Needless to say,
he was ordered off the premises, but
later, when reflecting upon those
days and the exceeding hardness of
the labor, his only regret was that he
had not asked for $700,000.
All that would have been necessary
to put flotation in operation in the
early Comstock mills would have been
to go to the adjoining hills, gather
the sage brush abundantly growing
there, subject it to destructive distil
lation, and add the tar-oil thus pro
duced to the rapidly revolving pans,
which would have made splendid agi
tators. The chemicals generally used
—mercury, bluestone (copper sul
phate), and salt could, of course, have
been omitted. True enough, as re
corded by Dan De Quille, friend of
Mark Twain and co-editor with him
on the Virginia City Enterprise, in
his humorous volume entitled “The
jjig _ Bonanza,” pseudo-investigators
had gone to the “hills” and gathered
the sage-brush, and from it steeped
a tea, which had been added to the
pans, but this had not proved effica- i
cious, for not only the essential oil !
contained in the sage was present,
but also the extract of the tannin,
which is now known to be deadly to
flotation.
Had Mark Twain but realized that'
the floating atoms of gold and silver
that he and others so persistently
tried to make sink were but the mani
festation of a phenomenon that was ’
later to revolutionize metallurgy, he j
might have remained a mill-man for t
the paltry $10 per week. But if the
world might have had another famous
metallurgist, we would not have had ;
Mark Twain; and after' all, who j
would trade a Mark Twain for a pro- j
oaic metallurgist?
