W. +. Mitchell, the inventor and
patentee of the Mitchell Acme Flour Gold
amalgamator, accompanied by his friend
and partner Captain William Howe,
returned Sunday night from a three
months visit in the canyons OF the Colo
RADIO river where, about ten miles be-
low the California bar, the two gentle
men located 160 acres of placer diggings
which are as rich as any yet discovered
along the banks of this historic stream.
These diggings were carefully prospected
and Mr.. Mitchell states that the gravel
carries values ranging from 50 cents to
50 in placer gold to the cubic yard, and
that it is the intention 20 return within
the next six weeks with two or more
amalgamators, which will be operated
with steam power. and when the plant
is installed on the diggings it is believed
in at a rapid and pleasing rate. The
winter on the Colorado has been un-
usually severe and on this account but
little work has been done in this locality
for the past three or four months. On
the California bar NJ. J. Ryan has just
started up for a seasons run. and he
expects to make some handsome clean
ups before the end of the year.
