cubic yard, but the cost of operating the
dredgers, including an allowance for
wear and tear on machinery, is in
many of the dredgers only four cents per
cubic yard, and in none of them does
it exceed y per cent
1t is only from % to 80 feet to bed

cavated The dredgers at work at the
present time are taking out $4,000 to
10000 cubic yards of gravel daily.
Two classes of dredgers are used. The
more popular form consists of an end
less chain of buckets. These lift the
gravel on an inclined plane to the head
of the sluices and concentrating tables
attached to the dredger. The machin-
cry which operates the bucket belt also
pumps the water Rsed in the coneentra-
from the dross.
The principle in extracting the gold
flakes and minute nuggets is identical
with that adopted by the old placer min
err in the days of AZ, when he washed
the gold in his cradle in some of the
very localities where the dredgers are
now operating.
The other type of dredger is the scoop

the privilege of being educated at An

while there, and acquired a thorough
mastery of every study he took up.
Outside of his studies his chief in

sions.
At Annapolis he was president of the
Y. M. G. A., and often led and addressed
meetings. Phil, McGiffin, the hero of
the battle of the Yalu during the Chino
Japanese war, was one of Uriu's class
mates and close friends, though the two
were absolutely unlike each other and
seemed to have nothing in common.
After his Annapolis course Uriu went
to technical school in England and
then returned to Japan as an aid in
the admiralty. He has ever since main
tanned correspondence with his friends
here, and has been kept closely posted
on the development of naval affairs in
this country.

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-04-19

paper is that it is good not only in
one respect, but in all respects. The
farmer who wishes instruction in the
principles of agriculture and meth
DDS of farm management receives it
in accurate, yet simple, language, in
the columns of your paper, but this
is only a part of your mission as you
conceive it, and as you prove it iii
your well-flled issues.
Your editorial page is not excelled
by that of any farm paper in Amer
lea, and is distinctly superior to the
editorial pages of some of the big
Northern farm papers whose names
it is not necessary to mention.
In saying this l cannot be accused
of sectional prejudice, for / am a
Northerner by birth and education.
but / recognize straight-seeing and
Discriminating whether in the North.
South, East or West.
I most heartily commend your eff
forts for the education and the So
cial and material improvement of
farmers. Those who grasp your point
of view will see more in farm life
than the mere drudgery which many
think it is. / would not underesti-
mate the hard work and weary toll
which are the lot of many a farmer
and of more farmers wives, but the
instruction, the counsel, the guidance
and the inspiration which your pa
per gives to farmers must throw a
silver lining on the darkest cloud.
/ can only add that I hope your
paper is meeting the financial sue
cess which it deserves, and that you
may live long to inspire and enthuse
the young men of your w and ad-
jacent States on the possibilities of
agriculture and the dignity and hap
piness of farm life.
Very respectfully,

NE1GHBoRHooD IMPROVEMENT.
Do Not Wait for Some One Else to Be-
gin the Work ; Start 1t Yourself.
Progressive Farmer:

Editors Progressive Farmer:
The hobbies of The Progressive
Farmer are good. What can be of
greater benefit to any community
than good schools, good roads, rural
free delivery of mail, telephones, and
rural libraries2
The writer has been working to
procure these benefits for several
years. Now we have all these ad-
vantages except good roads.
Our school was among the first to
secure a library, and the Board of
Education has just completed a
splendid school building in our dis
trict. 1t is nicely painted, and has
a handsome belfry on top which adds
much to the appearance of the build
ing.
Steps are being taken to extend
the telephone line. A switch board
will probably be put in and the en-
tire community connected.
Why should not farmers have such
conveniences as well as others ?
Some are slow, however, to take hold
of anything new. Then, you know,
some people are so selfish they refuse
to do anything for the public, be-
cause they cannot get all the benefit
themselves, but there are few of these
now, and their tribe is growing less.
No one should be censured if his
first endeavors are directed toward
the foundation of a home. This is
next thing to the preservation of life
itself, but this being done, his next
efforts should be to unite with his
neighbors to make the community
in which he has cast his lot a fit
place to be the home of his children
and of her whose fortunes are linked
with his. Our rural communities are
improving, but we have by no means
made them as good as we can, and
we should consider the task unfnish-
ed so long as anything can be done
to make our environments what a
progressive and enlightened people
require for their highest develop
ment and supremest happiness. Read
er, there may be no one in your COM
munity better fitted to lead in this
improvement than yourself. So do
not wait for some one else to begin
it. Go to work yourself. You will
feel better when it is done, even if
some moss-back curses you for your
pains. z. S. MILLSAPS.
