One of tbe solid ioetitutious of Cape May is the gold treating establishment in West Cape May, whose superintend, ent is former Mayor George H. Reives This factory Employs about one hundred persons all tbe year, and has been the means of creating and maintaining s large nnmber of happy homes in the borongb in which it is located. It has been established nea'ly twenty years.

day.

Ibe gold-beater receives his material not in the form of tbe sixty-penoy-weigbt ingot in which it is cast, hot in tbe form of a ribbon abont an inch wide and twenty-four feet long. This ribbon te II st cul into two hundred ]usres and placed in Ibe "catch.” which i a pile of square piece* of s peculiar paper, part animal and part vegetable in composition, the preparation of which is . The best catches sre made in LonA square of gold te placed between each two leaves, and tbe whole mass is ready for tbe first beating. This done with an iron hammer, weigh >g from twelve to seventeen pounds while tbe catch rests upon s granite block which te supported by a heavy wooden Under the heavy, measured blows of Uu aramer the sheets of gold begin to itreleh or expand until, in half or threequarters of an hour, they have reached tbt edges of tbe cutch. They are then re and with s thin strip of bambot : into quarters, so that the twe hundred pieces become eight hnodred. Next comes the “shoder.” s collection ol light hnodred pieces of skin, four iochesquare, made from the Intestines of cattle in the catch, each piece of gold b placed between two leaves ot skin, and bands of parchment or vellum are allppe* rer the whole pile, lo keep it together. Anctber beating, this time with a ham ler weighing from eight to ten pounds, ow follows This take* abont an hoar, during which tbe sheets of gold are all the lime expanding. The lost stage te the “mold.” which like tba catch and the shoder. te compose of alternate leaves ot gold and akin; but the mold te about live inches square made up ot gold-beater’s skin. Tbe preparation ot this te a jealously guardei trade secret. The akin, like Unit of the shoder, U made from tbe intestines of tbs ox. It Is traoslacent, and not nnlike rawhide in color. Although it will eland continuoubeating withont breaking. It will tear liki sheet of thin paper. The making ot i single mold requires the Intestluee of flv< hundred bullocks. Between each two beatings the skin 1s rubbed with balked and pulverized gypum. Tbe mold contains one thousand sheets After tbe second beating the workman takas from the shoder a single leaf of a time, handling It with bamboo pincers, and when necessary smootlng It with a rabbit’s foot. With tbe strip bamboo he cuts each sheet into quarters again, so that tbe original two hundred have now become three tboneand two hundred. Oor shoder. therefore, contain' more than enough gold to fill three molds. Tbe final beating. In the mold. Is done with a seven-pound hammer, and requires from three to four hours. By this time the gold leaf should bare expanded again to the edge of the ski os. awd should be of requisite thinness, which te determined by bolding it np to the light. It transmits green rays it te done, and will measure abont one two-hundred-and-elgbty-thousandth of an Inch In thick The hammers used In boating gold are slightly convex on tbe face. ~ the workman consists In so striking that the gold will always be thinnest in the center.
