We have made u rude estimate, of the amount hid leu liere in its pure state, mind ye, for il has been smelted long ago, by volcanic fire and this is moderate calculation: Gold ill chunks, about the size of a peckj measure. $1,00000000000000000000 millions tfw blocks the size of a bushel 2,50000000000000000000 billions One piece, about the size of a Chesnut j 6trefct Omnibus j 4,300000000000000000000 trillions. j J And "a cluster of SCVetl pieces, varying j irj iiZt'titom an omnibus to a small two-slu- j jied dwelling in Green Street Philadelphia, j ' 8,630000000000000000000 eepinlhons.
