Elk City's "Gold Ships
Getting the Gold.
REPORT NOT OFFICIAL BUT TRUE
Snug Fortune Dug From Old
River Channels.

This paper learns from sources
not official, but nevertheless. re-
liable, that the two gold dredges
recently put in operation are a
grand success at getting the
gold and that a snug fortune in
the yellow metal has already
been picked up in the old chan
nels of Little Elk creek and
American river. and the mach
ines have been working less than
a month.
The first thing the dredge on
Little Elk creek discovered that
there is a false bedrock in its
field Of operation, and that the
early miners who worked with
pan and rocker with moderate
success never got down to the
true foundation at all. The false
bottom, which is a blue clay, holds
the detritus of recent years, but
the values are said to be small in
comparison with what is being
scraped up from the bedrock.
The ''gold ship" at the con-
fuence Of Elk creek and Ameri-
can river, is working in ground
that DIR. Kimball found pros
pected better than seventy cents
TO the yard. II is on ground
that r. w. Bradley, through his
agents, tried 10 secure just after
he acquired the Buster. but II
was already tied up to men who
represented the Elk City Gold
Dredging Co., the present own
ers. The tract Of land is said 10
be large enough 10 keep the pres
ent dredRe working for twenty
years.
This dredge Is also working
a night and a day force.

BUILD ROAD FOR
HEAVY TRAVEL

Bert Harsh, in from Red River
the first of the week,
the ranchers there have
joined together in a movement to
make some much-needed i'm
provements in the Elk City-Dixie
wagon road where it crosses the
meadows. A new bridge is being.
built across Red river high
enough so the stream can be
crossed at times of high water,
the road is being corduroyed in
low places, and a channel will be
dug to straighten the stream at
the bridge.
The county has appropriated a
small sum of money for the i'm
provement, but most of it is be-
ing done by the ranchers, who
are working without cost to the
county. Bert says the road is
being repaired so as not to inter
rupt travel in the spring, and,
incidentally. it will be in shape
when the Chicago-Northwes
is completed down the Salmon
and Dixie, or a town on the river.
becomes the supply point for al
the mines in central Idaho.
