 In fact, in my own group of white chan nel claims have white gravel in sufficient many years, and cheap electric energy would solve the problem of extracting the combined gold content thereof from such white channel gravel.
 If can be of any further service please command me.

 Dear sirs:
 Your water power plant ls just what is power so much less than with a steam plant using wood and coal, which is such expensive fuel in that country.

 White Channel gravel can be milled at a profit and that profit will be greater than can be made by hydraulicking. The reason being that the gold occurs in three forms: coarse gold, very fine gold By hydraulic methods only the first of these can be recovered, while by milling a high recovery of all three can be made. Gravel which I nilled from Trail GuIch gave a recovery of $2e5 per ton by amal- gamation and an additional SAC. per ton by cyaniding the tailings after amaleam- to exceed s1.00 per ton. The cost of operating can be reduced to a low figure. With cheap power. such as ser " and ~ fevorabie eS miiirsite. In in W 1ooo ton daily capacity plant, this gravel can be milled for from 50 to 60 cents per ton: n The unlimited quantity of this gravel milling of it an attractive proposition to those looking for big things. The White is known for or 10 miles in from 100 to 300 feet deep. The gravel is mostly quartz. The values vary some what in different locations, but basing runs made I believe that it will nearly all pay a good profit to mill. In places such as Gold Hill and Last Chance the Regarding the power plant proposition would say that this consider the great est opening in the K1ondike for the profit able investment of capital. A number of 1redgeS (not including those of the Yu- kon Gold Co.) are operating at present and are looking for cheaper power. Other lredges are contemplated. the question their immediate installation. Vast acres of dredging ground exists here, which will be worked as soon as he dredges there will be mills operating >n the White Channel gravel just as soon as some one makes the start to min his gravel. These mills will be large and 'equire large amount of power. There will also undoubtedly be quartz mills Il that district within the next season ,r two. It would pay company installing a power plant to put uD a mill on the White Channel" for once such mill 8 operating there will be a number fol-
