  • Heart of Gold Lesson Plan Year 7
    Heart of Gold Lesson Plan Year 7 Lesson 1 Separation of Gold Curriculum Links: (ACSSU112) / Year 7 / Science / Science Understanding / Chemical Sciences (ACSSU222) / Year 7 / Science / Science Understanding / Earth and Space Sciences (ACSHE119) / Year 7 / Science / Science as a Human Endeavour / Nature and Development of Science (ACSHE121) / Year 7 / Science / Science as a Human Endeavour / Use and Influence of Science Background Information: It is actually quite unusual to find large nuggets of gold and most gold prospectors actually need to separate gold out from lots of other material. Depending on where the gold is found, this may be done by panning or through dry blowing. Each of these methods relies on the property of density. As gold has a very high density compared to the rock, soil and sediments it is contained in, it can be separated out by exploiting this property as it will fall to the bottom of mixtures that are allowed to settle out. The process of panning is used when small pieces of gold are found in creeks and rivers. It involves using a large shallow dish (pan) to scoop out some of the sediments in the riverbed and a small amount of water. You use a swirling motion with the pan tipped away from you and allow small amounts of the sediments and water to spill over the edge of the pan. When you have only a small amount of the sediments remaining in the pan, you will be able to see any gold particles that remain at the bottom of the pan. During the West Australian gold rush, most of the gold was being found in dry areas and water was a scarce commodity.

Advantages • Simplicity Disadvantages • Labour intensive Gravity Separation: Sluicing • Water is channelled to flow through a sluice-box. • Sluice-box is essentially a man-made channel with riffles (barriers) at the bottom. • Riffles create dead-zones in the water current which allows gold to drop out of suspension. Sluicing and panning results in the direct recovery of small gold nuggets and flakes. Gold Parting: Salt Cementation Process • Invented to remove Ag from Au-Ag mixtures around 6th century BC. Mix: argentiferous gold foil, common salt, brick dust or burnt clay and urine in a sealed container.

OREGON Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Thomas C. Hogg Altitudinal variations in upland regions of the earthcreate variable climatic zones and conditions. Plant andanimal communities must adapt to these conditions, andwhen theyreach their tolerance limits for environmental conditions at the upper levels of a zone, they cease to exist inthe environment. Humans also utilize mountains for a variety of reasons. The cultural traits which result from the adaptationof groups of people to mountainenvironments are unique from those of the surrounding lowlanders. Adaptation to upland areas is most often expressed in a transhumant or agro-pastoral lifestyle attuned to the climatic variations and demands of the mountain environment. This distribution of cultural traits suggests thatmountains are considered unique culture areas, apart from but sharing sometraits in common with neighboring lowland areas.

  • Notes on the Bohemia Mining District, Oregon
    NOTES ON THE BOHEMIA MINING DISTRICT, OREGON. By DONALD FRANCIS MACDONALD. INTRODUCTION. The Bohemia mining district is in Lane and Douglas counties, west-central Oregon. It lies on Calapooya Mountain, in the western foothills of the Cascade Range. The district is about 30 miles south­ east of Cottage Grove, a small town on the Southern Pacific Railroad. The Oregon and Southeastern Railroad runs from Cottage Grove to Disston, within 12 miles of the mines, which are reached by stage. In August, 1908, the writer made a short stay in this district and incidentally to otl}er work visited some of the larger mineral proper­ ties. For some of the data presented• herein he is indebted to Mr. J. S. Diller, of the United States Geological Survey, who made a reconnaissance of the region in 1898,a and for many courtesies to Messrs. L. D. Ryan, F. J. Hard, W. W. Warner, and other mining men of the district. PHYSIOGRAPHY AND GENERAL GEOLOGY. The relief of the district is pronounced. Several peaks are more than 6,000 feet high, and the elevation of the lowest valleys is less than 2,000 feet. This bold relief is the result of mountain glaciation and stream ero&ion. The luxuriant vegetation due to the humid climate has somewhat masked the geologic features of the region. Great forests clothe the mountain slopes and the region is notable for its timber value. The rocks of the district are andesitic lavas and tuft's of Tertiary age, which are cut by dacite porphyry and probably by basalt.
