sixteen miles from Caldwell, on ground
belonging to County Commissioner, q.
w. Paul. Mr. Raber, president of the
Portland Amalgamating and Mining
Company was in Caldwell last Monday
and Informed us that he was here to
stay. One of his machines would be in
full operation by the 10th inst. and
said he, "if there is any gold in the
sands of Snake river our machine will
save it." "We do not want to make any
blow about the business" he said. "We
have come here to demonstrate that
the fine gold along the banks of the
river can be saved at cost that will
pay to work it even if there is only 80
cents to the ton. According to Mr..
Raber the average yield of gold to the
ton of gravel is about one dollar and at
that rate one of his machines will net
the operator 800 per day. We will
not enter into any detailed account of
the business at this time. On the 10th
of November one OF those machines
will be engaged in practical work and
there does not seem to be the slightest
question but that it will fulfill every
expection. Mr.. Raber said that he
hoped many people would not come to
see the machine until that time because
1t would be annoying to have great

being erected. AS the machine will be
