handled which have been lying
idle because under other methods
of mining the cost of recovering
the values has exceeded the re-
turns. Seventh, the risk of acct
dent and death is almost wholly
removed, at least in so far as per-
tains to underground accidents,
there remaining of course the
usual likelihood of boiler explos-
ions, deadly electric shocks, etc.
There is, furthermore, some
thing about dredge mining that
removes it from the category Of
underground mining with its
CRIME, dust, noise and attendant
discomforts. Consequently dredg-
ing attracts certain investors who
would otherwise not be inclined
to put their money into mining.
The growth of the industry is
therefore among men who have
money at their command and
who enter mining on a less specu-
lative basis than do those who
delve under ground. This fact
Of itself guarantees the stability
of dredging operations and means
that it is bound to grow in mag
nitude. This in turn means a
large contribution to the sum
total of the worlds gold and a
general improvement in economic
conditions.

just outside Of the city and within easy
reach by the cars from all points of the

suit of the blow with the hammer took a
