The floor of the Delta saloon, kept by
Arditto Bros, was taken up early this
week, and replaced by new floor COM
plete. The old joists and flooring were
found to be eaten up with dry rot, owing
to lack OF ventilation between the ground
and the floor. This decay has taken
place in the space of seven or eight
years, whereas in premises with ample
ventilation flooring laid thirty or more
years ago remains in state of perfect
preservation to this day. The building
now occupied by this saloon was in
early days used by p Reichling for buy
ing gold dust and melting the same into
bars. When the floor was renewed last
time j. Meek cleaned UP quite a snug
sum by pannng out dirt. This week he
tested the dirt for gold. and found that
it carried several cents to the pan.
He decided that it was worth washing.
