Dredging for Gold
The new government irrigation works
at the klamath Lakes in California
and oregon on the boundary line, and
similar irrigation of Shasta Valley, will
lower the river in the rich mining Sec
tions Of Slskiyou, towards allowing cer-
cessful working of the river bed for
gold, as It is very difficult to get down
to bed rock in the heavy body of water
now carried from the mouth Of Shasta
river in its onward course to the sea.
The Yreka Creek Gold Dredging Co.
commenced work last Thursday in dig
ging basin for a new dredger at the
Antoine Foster place, on Yreka creek,
about mile north of Yreka. A large
force of men and teams are employed,
the teams with scrapers moving in
steady procession, while the pick and
shovel men loosen up the ground. This
is considered rich locality, from pros
poets heretofore made, whenever pos
sible to reach bedrock during very dry
seasons. The company will probably
open up the Solus place above Hawkins
vile at the mouth Of the Yreka creek
also, and fix up the old dredger for
renewing operations in that locality.

which time Mr.. George expects to be
on the ground. The mill is a very
complete affair, and has been made
more complete by the installation of a
Frue vanner, Wiley table and a new
engine OF greater power. A new build
ing, 24x36 feet, has been built over the
concentrators. Mr.. George is now figur-

the Boludo placers near Ell Trio, Altar

it was proved there were four strata
beneath which were rich in gold. 1t is
proposed to pipe water from the Mag
dalena river a distance of about three
miles, to supply the sluice boxes. The
pay dirt will be gotten out by open cuts,
broken up in crushers and then run
through sluice boxes.
