‘the waters of that river are imvhose water table is less tian 10
feet below the surface, but it woul
seem that tne rocky barrier which
somewhat like an underground dam
below the surface across
that gap, acts like a huge riftle. and
so impounds the metalic, minerals
which have been added in the process of the decomposition 0 the
pmany mountains in the dy 2s

. Hundreds of samples of ore have
taken and assayed. These, it
is claimed, show that the surface
. values average about 51 gold per
. } ton. Platinum and silver is also
present. From pits dug to the depth
of 13 feet, samples were taken each
foot in depth and these wére mixed
and panned. Forty pounds of this
mixture yielded 10 cents in zgold—at the rate of $1 per ton. No pits
have yet been sunk in bedrock and
until this shall have been done the
value of the accumulation at that
depth cannot be predicted. —
Many thousand acres of the land
has already been filed on by the discoverers of the deposit whose intention it is to exploit the property by
means of great gold dredges; a plan
which seems to be entirely feasible
since there seems to be ample water
available—in spite of the fact that
the deposit lies in the most arid
part of the country.
Plans are already matured for
the installation of two relatively
small recovery plants in the vicinity
and it. is the expectation that both
will soon be producing. It is the
claim of the discoverers that this is
one of the greatest placer goldfileds
that ever has been found.
