Good Dredge Story.

Rumors of riches found in the
Snake river sands by the big dredge
are almost too good to be true, but
if true, then surely those people
are son the other side of Jordan, in
the sweet fields of Eden !" When
the present plant was being placed,
it was understood that If as much
as 25 cents to the yard of dirt was
realized in the test run, it would be
satisfactory and the bond held by
the company on several locations
on each side of the river taken up.
1t has been current about town that
the recent test run of a half or three
quarters OF an hour has yielded an
amazing return-about $27 to the
yard being the figure. This state
ment lacks verifcation and is prob.
ably wild, but if a twenty-seventh
of this amount per yard is there. i
is quite the biggest thing in al
America at that. We hope i'll
true, though.
