The Atlin mining division has been
the chief factor in the placer gold pro-
duction of theprovince for some years.
This district was discovered during
the summer of 1898. On the south
bench of Pine creek opposite the town
of Discovery, hydraulicking is being
done by the North Columbia Hydraulic
Co., of which j. M. Ruffner is manager.
The b. G. Mining Exchange states that
he has succeeded in thoroughly disin-
tegrating the cemented gravel, and has
found cheap and satisfactory method
of piling tailings. He has concluded
that blasts of 1000 or 5000 pounds of
75 per cent. powder are of most efficacy
Drifts are run and rs set, so that
charges of powder can be placed at
least every % feet over the whole area
of ground to be blasted. He calculates
that the powder has breaking poten-
tial of 121@ feet radius. The biggest
charges, about 200 pounds each, are at
the back of the drifts. Time and labor
are saved and the efficiency of the blast
greatly increased 10y using water for
tamping. To outward appearance the
blast is failure. Only the top of the
bank is observed to fall down. When
piping begins, however, the effect OF
the dynamite becomes apparent The
gravel. which was hard as cement, is
found to be perfectly shattered, and
the washing of it is as easy as ground
slulcing. The system of piping observ-
ed throughout is having two giants
work together so that the gravel is
driven into sluice boxes by two
streams directed against it from op-
posite directions. Seven-inch nozzles
are used. The pits are double-com-
partment, with two lines of sluice
boxes. When one sluice is being clean
ed, piping goes on in the other COM
partment. Three pits are worked. On
one of them natural dumpage facilities
are poor, so to dispose of tailings an
elevator has been built. This elevator
| is Sc feet long, 10 feet wide, s feet high,
and supported by trestles. Its lower
end is TWO feet below bedrock, its up
per end u feet above bedrock. In it
steel bars - by 3 inches are set hori-
zontally 3 inches apart. The floor is
protected from wear and tear by being
solidly blocked. Between the blocks
and the bars there is clearance of l
foot. AS the elevator can be readily
moved, it is so stationed that its foot is
near the giants. A constant stream of
water and gravel being directed against
it. the boulders too large to pass be-
tween the bars are rushed up the in
cline and topple over, while the fine
material passes between the bars and
thence to the sluice- boxes. When the
failing pile gets higher than the elevat-
or a piper trims it off with his giant.
Thus the bouIders are driven back and
stacked 20 feet high. The management
tried placing the bars longitudinally,
thinking that boulders would beforced
up the elevator more easily. The bars
were too light. A short run bent them
badly, so their former position was re-
verted to. Next year the longitudinal
may be tried, but railroad track will be
used. The dredger on Upper Spruce
creek has been completed and is work
ing full capacity. The Northern Mines
