WILL DREDGE ERASER'S BED
BIG ENGLISH SYNDICATE TO RE-
WORK ABANDONED PLACERs.
Four Mammoth Dredgers, With
Capacity of 1900 Tons of Gravel
Each Day. VIII he Operated

Special Dispatch to the Post-Tntelligencer.
VANCOUVER, h. c.. Dec. IL. - The
Fraser river gold excitement of thirty
odd years ago Is recalled by the prepara-
tions of a heavily capitalized British syn
dictate to dredge the bed of the same river
In an effort to secure the gold which II
is believed is still to be found there. The
company has been formed in England by
John Cobedlck. well known throughout
British Columbia a mining engineer,
with a capital of f500.0o0 sterling. The
gravel at the bottom of the Fraser will
be brought to light by means of dredgers.
and the corporation which has been form
ed is the biggest dredging company In
the world.
In operation mammoth dredger with a
record-breaking capacity. capable of lift
ing l.500 cubic yards of gravel day. and
of handling boulders up to five tons In
weight. Three additional dredgers of the
same capacity are now under constru-
cton. each of the big machines costing
to build $4,000. Nothing In the bed of the
Fraser can escape the ravenous NAV of
these dredgers. In the old days $50, 600 900
was taken from the bottom of this river.
and although the English syndicate does
not expect to duplicate this achievement,
Cobledick and other investors in the en-
terprise are confident that fortune
awaits them.
Their field of operations is practically
unlimited, for they can go at least $50
miles up the Fraser as far as Lytton,
where one big dredger is now at work
turning over the auriferous sand and
gravel The capacity of the dredger is
so enormous, and It's operation so eco
nomical that even If the amount of gold
is small the dredgers will earn handsome
dividends for the syndicate.
The floods of Fraser river bring down
each spring and autumn a certain amount
of fine gold from a source yet undiscov-
cred Bars of gravel apparently worked
out each year by the patient miner with
a cradle are found to be quite rich the
next year when the floods have deposited
new layer of sand over the old ground.
The result is that dredging operations
will not be necessarily limited to one
working of the ground, especially on the
mid-channel bars.

STATE POOR FARM NEEDED.
SECRETARY OF BOARD OF CONTROL
MAKES RECOMMENDATION.
Offers Solution of Annoying Prob
lem Arising From the AccumuIs-
ton of Poor. but Harmless
Patients Mt the Insane AsyIums.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
TACOMA. Dec. f1.-Ernest Lister, sec
rotary of the state board OF audit and
control, went 10 Olympia this afternoon
with the second biennial report of the
board. which will be submitted 10 the
coming legislature.
One of the most important recommen-
dations included in the report. Is that
which suggests the setting aside of $4,000
for the purchase and stocking Of state
farm which will afford accommodations
for at least 100 of the partially helpless
wards OF the State For years past a
vexed question has been coming up IN
the state insane ssylums for which no
solution seemed possible. II was found
that In many cases persons sent to both
the Steilacoom and the Medical Lake asy-
iums were not insane. but were simply
INDECENT or In their second childhood, or
in some cases simply feeble-minded They
were sent to the asylums because, ac-
cordng TO Mr.. Listers report, they OBJ
Jectcd to going TO the county poor farms
and the different counties were glad IN
have the state assume the responsibility
OF their care.
This class OF people have been slowly
accommodating AT the asylums. II is to
get them away from the asyiums as well
as TO make them In some degree self
supporting. that the state poor farm Is
suggested Mr.. Lister believes that all
OF the hay, feed and the vegetables con-
sumed nj the various state institutions
can be grown on such farm. and In adj
dition to supporting themselves the In
mates OF the farm can do much to lessen
the expenses of the other institutions.
Mr.. Lister strongly urges the farm as
substitute for the new wing at the West
ern Washington hospital for the insane.
He says:
TN my opinion a ffrst-class farm can be
purchased, suitable brick buildings erect
ed and equipped and a large part of tho
purchased with about the same appro-
priation that would be needed for new
wing The benefits of farm life TO
large number Of patients would be inest-
mable, and in addition to this the cost
OF maintenance for the institution would
be materially reduced by the use OF tho
products OF the farm
1.-THE adoption of this plan might also
be n solution of the problem of caring
Tor that class Of patients now confined
In the hospitals for the insane VINO are
not proper subjects for such an instltu.
ton, who are old and infirm. and on ac-
count OF this or some other disability,
have been committed there for the rea-
SON that there Is no other public insti.
tuition to which they can be sent, except
ing possibly county poor farm.
THE cost OF caring for them would be
much less were they at a farm such as
the one mentioned than at the hospitals
proper, and the benefits to them would
be much greater than bv being confined
In large hospital building where they
cannot have the same freedom and out
door exercise on account OF being with
class or patients who have to be carefully
guarded at all times"
