There was also 0.061 part of silver present in 1000 parts of the mass, the remainder being base alloy.

The difference in the amount of gold between the two opposite ends of the ingot was, therefore, no less than 223*10 parts in 1000. The base metal present was proved by analysis to be chiefly zinc, lead, and copper, as the following results will show on metal taken by a “ dip,” i.e., from the molten m etal:—
Z in c ........................... 15*0 Lead........................... 7*0 Copper....................... 6*5 I r o n ............................ 2*2 N ic k e l....................... 2*0 Silver......................... 7*0 Gold (by difference) 60*3 100*0
B. Another ingot of alloyed gold weighing 12*223 kilograms gave at different parts of the ingot the following results by assay:— Four assays on a piece of metal cut at a—top of ingot
Gold, Silver. 1 ............... 664*0 0*090 2 ............. 662*5 0 091 3 ............ 465*0 0*076 4 .......... 661*5 0*091
