THE GOLD DREDGE AT WORK
the abandoned placers of California
and will soon be doing the same for
Siberia, Brazil and Peru. Says Mr..
Del Mar: -
"All these placers or auriferons can
be probably worked over by the gold
dredge and more gold taken from them
than they have already yielded. The
reason of this is that hard labor never
touches the poorer portions Of placer,
and that from the richer portions it
rarely succeeds in winning more than
from a half to two-thhds of the gold;
whereas the dredge gets it all. {.
Placer mining came to stop in Egypt
and Spain when their product fell to
the level of hand labor; it stopped in
Brazil partly for the same reason, and
partly because, the gravel being small
and fine, the placer fields are nearly
fiat, and the mines are out of grade
1t stopped in California because the
tailings choked up the rivers and the
law courts interdicted the hydraulic
process. In Australia it had almost
passed the level of hand labor when
the gold dredge was invented. In Alas
ka, though stopped in winter time for
lack Of running water, it is still going
on during the summer time, when the
streams are released from frost. In
none Of these countries was placer

"GoLD SHIP" AND ITS WORK
Remarkable Dredge Which Operates
in Its Own Pond and Works
Over Old Gold Placers.

The present yield of gold is double
what it was ten years ago, amounting
to $1,000, 900 a day; but within the next
ten years it bids fair to double again
80 we are told by no less an author
ity than Alexander Del Mar, writing in
the Engineering Magazine. The in
crease in the past, he says, has been
due to the abandonment Of silver min
ing, and the invention of the cyanide
process. That in the future will be
caused by the use of the gold dredge,
which he calls "a weird invention, q
wonderful thing, a gold ship that
moves over the land and ex-
tracts every particle of gold out of the
long-neglected placers." This "phan-
tom ship is now beginning to clean up

Here is a pretty experiment show
ing this: Take two goblets and place
them mouth to mouth; then put
around them, where the brims meet,

to prevent the passage Of air.
Try now to pull them apart, and you
will find that they stick together very
closely, so closely, indeed, that you
may swing them as pendulum with
out their separating. But pull with
still more force and they will come
apart with the noise that I have men
toned.
Let us make another experiment
with them. Immerse them in water
contained in q vessel large enough to
hold them both readily, and while still
under water place them mouth to
mouth. Put the rubber band around
them while they are in this condition,
and having taken them out Of the
water you will find that you can swing
them as before, and that to pull them
apart requires more force than when
thew were empty. The reason, ex-
plains the Chicago Inter Ocean, Is that
the water does not expand like air,
10 that, the moment you begin to pull
the roblets apart, the vacuum is
formed: and the pressure Of the out

St Joseph, Mo. Mr.. Browne is an ex.

"In the spring of 1902. he says,
"while I was regularly working at my

found that my appetite was tickle, q bad

DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mr.
Browne because nothing can strengthen

and DR.. Williams Pink Pills actually
make new blood. They don't act on tho

mining arrested because there Has no
more gold in the gravel, but for the
other reasons stated, all Of which are
now remedied by the gold dredge.
This invention supersedes hand labor
by machinery; it requires no grade
or declivity down which to sluice It's
gravel; it WILL choke no river; it needs
only enough water to float itself in and
60 wash the gold with; and all of this
water it can. and does, use over and
over again. 1t is as much at home in
the arid but auriferous deserts of
Arizona, as in the golden marshes Of
the Feather river"
What is this "gold ship" It is sim
ply a dredge that floats in pond OF
its own making-a> pond which &C.
companies it wherever it chooses to
60, and which enables it to move over
the land in any direction. It scoops
up the gravel, subjects it on its decks
to the action of any desired process,
mechanical or chemical-and then,
having exhausted it of it's gold, casts
the gravel behind, and keeps on adj
vancing, until the field before 1t is
sifted and treated from surface to bed
rokc To quote further:
GAS the ground can be thoroughly
tubed and sampled beforehand, this
process lifts gold mining from the
category of speculative enterprises to
that OF a manufacturing business.
The gold dredge is a gold manufac-
tory, with an Unsuitable demand and
assured market for its product, at the
rate of $20.17 per Troy ounce fine, paid
down by the minis in gold coin. No
risk, 20 idle stock on hand, no bad
debts, no commissions, brokerages, or
discounts, nor no monopoly Of trade,
now or ever possible. An instant sale
for the entire produce at fixed price,
paid in cash. Such are the incompar-
able conditions of the gold manufac-
turing business. It goes without say
ing that. unless the cost Of taking part
in it is beyond the ordinary means Of
business men, such an industry will
not fail to invite vast number Of par
Elephants. This contingency can be
settled at once. The dredges cost from
$35, 900 to $4,000 each, according to
size; a sum within the means Of the
average business man, commercial patt-
ship or small corporation. -.
Like most other inventions, the
gold ship is a development. A gold
dredge was used on the Magdalena
river 20 years ago; the device was
further developed several years later
in New Zealand; it was brought al
most to perfection in California;. at
the present time, dozen machine
shops, scattered all over the United
States; are rivaling one another in
turning out a more and more perfect
dredge. The home demand for these
machines is so urgent that but few
have as yet been shipped abroad; yet
several of them have already gone to
South America and several more to
Europe. The present rate Of out-turn
is about one machine per week: in the
course of a few years it. will be one
per diem; in ten years 1t will probably
be ten machines per diem. When this
takes place, and perhaps before 1t, the
worlds production of gold, even
should the quartz mines yield no more
than at present, will be 100000 q
day."

Overtures to Tammany.

dispatch from New York last night
says: The nominating committee of the
Citizens Union. at a meeting held this
afternoon in the offices of r. Fulton Cut
ting, decided to take Tammany Hall into
its councils in the preparation of a city
ticket This step is a new one on the part
of the organization. Never before has II
sought the cooperation of Tammany
Many of the leaders of the Citizens Union
are admirers of Mayor Mcclellan and
make no secret of the fact that they would
like to see him reelected. There is, how
ever, a faction opposed to an Endorsement
mittee practically directed to sound
Tammany as to its willingness to do GER
tain things in return for the Endorsement
of Mayor Mcclellan. One of these condi-
tons is that Tammany must consent to the
denomination of District Attorney Jerome.
The decision to include Tammany in the
list was unanimous The vote was de-
signed to show that the Citizens Union is
not tied 20 the republican or any other po-
litical organization; and that it is prepared
to work with any party which viii de-
clare itself in favor of non partisanship in
the local administration
When Tammany leader Charles F. Muir
ply was told last night of the action taken
by the committee, he would not comment
on it, further than to say that Tammany
would put up ticket that would com
mand the support not only of the union. but
of all good citizens. Asked If Tammany
might renominate Jerome IL the cts in
dorsed Mayor Mcclellan. Mr.. Murphy re-
piled that that was a question for the con-
yentiOn to settle.
