TONS OF YltuEs Carried
AWAY IN CARSON RIVER

The Carson Appeal in comment
ing upon the Brunswick mill trans
fer has the following interesting
data to give:
The Brunswick mill was one Of
the many that turned its tailings
loose in Carson river. 1t is safe to
say that million dollars worth of
tailings has been sent through the
discharge into the river. where it
is lost forever. Many of the mills
along the Carson, put in tailings
ponds and since cyanide became
practical, many fortunes have been
taken from the refuse In the case
of the Brunswick it is a straight
loss. 4s
Some s@Gsyears ago. dredging
machine was PLACED on thelriver
below Dayton ip,sthe Eape % re-
covering a portion of the fortunes
in quicksilver and amalgam that
had been sent. from the string of
mills on the river above Dayton.
The dredger failed: to pick up the
values, mainly from the fact that
the river was too rough and the
many crevices. formed in the river
bo, tom, held the values away from
the point where the dredger could
operate. There is no question, as
to the vast amount of values that
are lodged in the Carson river, but
no one has been able to gather il
up at a profit.
People forget the vast amount OF
milling that went on along the
Carson river. At one time there
were nearly 500 stamps dropping
and in. most cases, the tailings
were being deposited into the
river. 1t was only at the latter
end of the milling that an attempt
at saving the tailings was made.
Several freshets and high water
seasons carried away hundreds Of
thousands of tons of tailings that
today would have made fortunes
for the owners.
