United States Official Report Made {
Commissioner vi the United States, Genera
Land Office, Washington. d. G by geolo
gist and mining expert OF worldwide reputa
ton, Professor Benjamin Silliman who
spent several months there, then being con
nected with the United States Surveying
Corps, and In his official report says:
"Here are countless millions OF tons Of
rich gold quartz reduced by the great forces
of nature to q condition ready for the appll-
cation Of the hydraulic process, while the
entire bed Of the Kio Grade for over 40
miles Is sluice, on the bars Of which the
gold derived from the wearing away Of the
gravel banks has been accommodating for
countless ages, and now lies ready for ex-
traction by the most approved methods OF
river mining. The thickness OF the Rio
Grande gold gravel exceed In many places
600 feet, or nearly three times that Of the
like beds in California. while the average
value per cubic yard Is believed to be greater
In the New Mexico beds than In any other
such accumulations yet discovered.
IL have made reconnaissance OF the whole
OF this gravel along the Rio Grande, and
have examined with all the care possible In
the time at my command the character OF
the gravel and its contents OF gold. Moth
ing, am persuaded, since the discovery Of |
California and Australia, is comparable for |
Its measurable resources OF gold available |
bv the hydraulic process to the deep placers |
Of the Rio Grande."
Other reports from eminent mining ex-
perts OF national reputation pronounce the
property OF this company the richest and
most extensive known.
