Snake river. Our machine is cheap;

and less fall than any other machine
on the market and II comes more

machine now being operated, The
dredges only claim that they can save
from 6S to 65 per cent of the gold that
passes over their machines. All
dredges will be using our machine
when its value is known.
I'VE are looking for field to begin
the construction of these machines for

here, though our first machines will
