Separating Gold from Silver by Electrolysis
The dore contains about 980 silver to 3 to 8 gold, and the anodes cast are 15 x 3½ x ½ inch. The cathode belt runs either within half an inch of the muslin, and is 31 feet long by 15 inches wide. At first the belts were made of silver-coated rubber, but owing to the buckling of the rubber silver belt sheets, 1-32 inch thick, were introduced.
