HHydraulic miningis is beinglinaugurated
in various districts in the Black Hills.
We hear of preliminary work in such
enterprises being in progress in all parts
of the country. Hundreds Of hydraulics,
will be operated here the next working
season. Under the system many times
as much auriferous gravel will be handled
in the same time, as is now being worked
under the comparatively slow shoveling-
in process. There are in the Black
Hills thousands of acres Of rich gold de-
posts, as yet only prospected, which will
yield enormously when hose and nozzles
shall have been applied. By this meth
cd ali the old tailings Of the gu.ches will
eventually be reworked, and with great
profit. Though the gold yield of the
Black Hills this year will be far in excess
of last years production, we feel conf
dent the. production of next year will
more than double the .aggregat yield of
the past and present years.-Deaasuood
