 Your water power plant IS jus, what is neeoeO. You VIII be able to furnish plant using wood and coal, which is such expensive fuel in that country.
 Very respectfully. U Manager Klondike Govt. Concession, Ltd. Dear Sirs:
 White Channel gravel can be milled at 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. gave a recovery of $2.65 per ton by anal gamation and an additional 54c. per ton by cyaniding the taiiings after amalgam- hydrauiicRine to excsed oS St per 'eso ton 0s The cost of operating can be reduced to 6 low figure. With cheap power, such waaer ana or by ton daily capacity plant. this gravel can be milled for from 50 to 60 cents per ton: in The tse qnse Tnfe Ss, bopd of hs nass saxs S milling of it an attractive proposition to those looking for big things.

The values vary some what. in different locations, but basing my judgment upon the numerous mill runs made believe that 1t will nearly all pay good profit to mill. In places such as Gold Hill and Last Chance the gravel has proven to be very rich indeed. Regarding the power plant proposition would say that this consider the great est opening in the Klondike for the profit dredges not including those of the Yu- kon Gold Co.) are operating at present and are looking for cheaper power. Other of power being the only thing that is preventing their immediate installation. Vast acres of dredging ground exists there which will be worked as soon as the dredges there will be mills operating on the White Channel gravel just as soon @ as some 70 one makes the start to mil, require large amount of power. There will also undoubtedly be quartz mills n that district within the next season or two.
