The boat is 30 feet long and 80 feet wide,
and when loaded with sluices and machinery
will draw from 10 to IL inches of water, and
was built under the immediate supervision
OF Mr.. Dan Chisholm, ship-builder Of San
Francisco. The estimated weight of ma.
chinery to be used is &c tons.
There is hardly any way to estimate the
amount of wealth that is contained in the
river for the reason that considerable gold
has gone in, in years gone by, from foods
down the different canyons. About the only
way to get an any figures would be to find
the number OF tons of rock and tailings that
have been worked for the past 80 years in
the different mills on the river. At least
frem 20 to 80 per cent. Of the value OF this
ore and tailngs Is there, and to this can be
added from three to four pounds OF quick
silver to the ton. 1t is safe to say, however,
that at least $3.50, 900, 900 in quicksilver and
amalgam has been lost in the 30 years.
The machinery on one dredge will raise
from 400 to 500 tons of the dirt in the river
bed every ten hours. This material will pass
through grizzlies and over sluices. The
grizzlies will separate the coarser material
from the fine, the fine passing over the sluices
catching and concentrating the amalgam,
quicksilver and sulphurets. From the sluices
the residue will be taken up into the agita-
tors and treated with the Rae Electrical Pro-
cess in order to catch any material that may
escape from the sluices. The lowest assay
from any material in the river is s. so per
ton, and will run from this up to Sc and 81
per ton. Upon the dredge apout fifteen mer
| will be employed, of which two-thirds will
be unskilled laborers; the balance will be
thoroughly skilled engineers and amalgama
tors. The expenses for their labor, and fuel,
wear and tear Of machinery, ETC., will be
from 500 to $50 per day. 1t is calculated
that from 80 to SO per cent. OF what is raised
will be saved; this percentage does not in.
