A Dredging Machine Will Work Libby
,Creek for Gold.
Missoula. May 9.-Frank Leonard's
new and bright paper, the Libby News,
indicates hat F1athead county Is pro-
crossing favOrably this season. Among
the new enterprises ~chronicled in the
last number of the News IL one that
twill be of interest to Missoula people.
1t Is the plan of an Eastern company
to put i'm dredging machines in the bed
of Libby creek and work the gravel
for the gold hat is known to be there.
The ground has been secured and con-
siderable preliminary work and pros
pecting done already. Concerning the
plans of the company the News says:
The plan of this company Is to put in
"a jeffrey dredge to work their ground.
This Is an endless chain bucket dredge,
which Is operated i'm a boat "a feet i'm
length. The boat needs merely enough
water to float 1t and can be warped up
and down stream. The ladder support
ing the chain can be regulated to any
necessary depth. and the buckets oe-
liver their o of gravel to a grizzly, l6
feet o the deck of the dredge. The
buckets are capable of raising boulders
up To a ton in weight, and the power is
furnished by a steam engine or the
deck of the .dredge. The grizzly stops
the larger rocks and they are dumped
on the bank from a chute. The n
gravel drops from the grizzly into
sluice boxes, which are supplied with
water from a centrifugal pump under
the boat. The dump from the sluice
boxes is also on the bank. and the
channel thus left free from all OBJ
str~uctions. Three of these dredges are
already in successful operation at Ban
in this state. They are working
on ground that was prospected and
30 years ago, and which
would to-day be without yalue IL this
dredge had not been invented. These
machines are adding $1o,6 o per week
to the worlds gold RESERVES at a COM
paratively small expenditure. The
dredge will De capable Of handling 700
cubic yards of gravel every 10 hours.

wrestled with bids and contracts To-
night and made two awards. one for
lumber and one for printing. There

Time to do that little. The clerk had
neglected to prepare the necessary
resolution for the transfer of s25 :,
month to the fire department fund. as
voted at the last meeting. and a half
hour was consumed in waiting for the
resolution. When IL was finished II
was quickly passed and the council
proceeded at once to the consideration
OF contracts. The committee on con
