SINKING TO TEST THE
AQUA FRA PLACERS
CFrom Fridays DaiiyJ

Whether the Western Dredging
company shall place an immense gold
dredger upon its claims in the bottom
of the Auga Fria river depends upon
the report of Engineer j. r. Keene,
who left that place yesterday with a
crew Of ten men and drilling outfit.
Keene represents tne New York Engi-
neering company. which has contract.
ed to examine into the immense placer
fields Of the Aqua Fria for the West
ern Dredging concern and find IL they
can be worked al profit.
Charles Batrc, the well known Ar.
iona mining man, brought about the
organization of the Western Dredging
company. The corporation is heavily
capitalized and no stock has ever been
sold outside the original organizers.
The claims taken mp more than n year
ago comprise eleven miles of the Aqua
Fria bottom.
Keene and his men will drill per.
haps several holes mt various points
on the company's holdings. II is known
that gold exists in paying quantities
close To the surface, but unless the
gold bearing sand extends downward
for some distance the returns from
dredging operations will hardly pay
for operating expenses.
