W. G. Dawson, who has been operat-

sent $40 pounds Of gravel to be tested

The gravel was run over a Wiley
table and 9s.5 per cent Of the gold> was
held in the concentrates.
The net result Of the experiments
showed that by the use Of the Whitley
table, the main part Of the gold can be-
saved and that in addition to the gold
values, there is about u pounds OF zir-
