construction of n shallow reservoir on

force as to scour the bottom of the
reservoir and stir up the sludge, and
the discharge would be gradual
through an outlet Just above low

gold would adhere to the sludge, set
tllng with 1t in the reservoir.
AS each ton of sea water Is assumed
to contain from two to five grains of
gold, 1t i9 easy to figure for such n
reservoir a valuable accumulation of
