Pneumatic sluice Machine.

The HERALD Acknowledges call from
Mr.. j. L. Tompkins and J. G. McCurdy,
who are preparing to set up steam
.gold.washer at the Santa Fe,iciana
placeres, fourteen miles Southwest of
Elizabeth Lake, in the Northern part Of
Los Angeles county. The machlne is
called the Pneumatic Sluice Machine,
and We are informed by Mr.. W. w.
jenkins that it will clean eighty tons of
gravel per day of all the gold there is in
it. The cost of machine is $3,7OO.
When this machine gets to work we
may expect good report from our rich
placeres which have never been much
worked on account Of lack of water.
If Mr.. Jenkins. who has done more than
any other man to open the placeres in
the Northwestern part Of the county of
Los Angeles. succeeds in this effort of
dry washing. he will be albenefactor to
the State and add millions to the wealth
of the country. We trust that his
most sanguine hopes may be realized in
this effort.
