The assaying is the moil curious and scientific of all the business in the mint. The melters take the gold dust, melt it, and cast it into a bar, when il is weighed ac curately, and a piece is cut off for the assaycr. He takes it, melts it with twire its weight of lead. It is melted in small cups made of bone ashes, which absorb all the lead ; a large part of the silver is extracted by another process, and: lhe sample is then rolled out to a thin shaving, coiled up, and put into a sort of glass vial pall ed a matrass, with some nitric acid. The mat rasses are put in a furnace, and the acid t boil ed some time, poured off, a new supply put in, and boiled again. This is done several times " till the acid has extracted all the silver land other mineral substances, leaving the sample of pure gold. The sample is then weighed, and, by the difference between the weight be fore assaying and after, the true value is found. All the silver over and above five penny weights for each lot, is paid for by the mint at its true value. The gold, after it ha" been assayed, is melted, re6ned, and being mixed with due pro portion of alloy, is drawn into long strips, not unlike an iron hoop for a cask,) the round pie ces cut out with a sort of punch, each pieco weighed is brought to right size, and put into a stamping press, whnce il comes forth a 'per fect coin.
