Additional Description

General

This folder includes reports on the Argentine and Montana mine, a fineness report of Gold Bullion, and several unidentified mining reports. These reports document the results of flotation tests performed to find the quality of the ore that was mined from a particular area and determine what kinds of ore are present by finely crushing rocks and then using water to seperate the minerals.
