Mitchell says: " Ordinary litharge can be easily freed from this oxide by fusing it and pouring it into a cold ingot mould, then pulverizing, and carefully keeping it from contact with air, as it readily absorbs oxygen, and if it be allowed to cool in the atmos- I04 MANUAL OF ASS A YING. phere, it will nearly' all be converted into the red oxide." Litharge can quite easily be procured free from large quantity of red oxide, and if it is kept in a tightly-stoppered bottle or tin can with closely ...fitting cover, there is little dan- ger of conversion to this oxide. It is used to furnish metallic lead that serves as a solvent for the precious metals in the ore. When in the melted state it has the power of giving up its oxygen to almost all the metals (save gold, silver and those of the platinum group), converting them into oxides, and since these are generally ex- tremely fusible, they go into the slag. Thus we are able to separate gold and silver from any baser metals they may be combined or associated with.
