Gold Channel Mines
The indications are that there will
be considerable activity at the Gold
Channel mines above Georgetown in
has been carried forward steadily for
several months past with as many
men as could be worked to advan-
tage. The first of this week Superin-
tendent W. c. Green was in Placer
Vile, and while here he purchased a
fine new roller gravel mill for the
company from the Ell Dorado foundry.
This mill is to be installed imme-
diately on the Tiedemann claim of the
Gold Channel properties, and later in
the summer second mill will be pur-
oh - n m ~
of extensive gravel channel owned by
the company. The Development work
being done consists of tunneling into
the great gold bearing gravel channel
which underlies the Georgetown divide.
and from which millions of dollars
have been taken in years past where
Channel company owns several hun
dred acres of virgin ground traVersed
by this channel, which was too deep
to be worked Successfullv bv the old |
process of hydraulicking or ground |
sluicing. By means of tunneling and !
breasting out the gravel, then bringing it |
to the mill near the mouth of the tun- |
mel and working it by approved meth |
ods, there is good profit in this kind |
of mining. Cold Channel company has /
succeeded in opening UP very prom /
ising section of the channel on the !
Tiedemann claim and the gravel pros |
poets exceedingly well. The gold is very

the mill just purchased can be in |
stalled the working force will be in
creased. and toward fall the second I
mill will be needed, and it is the in /
tention of the mana cement to install /
it at that time.-Placerville Republican I
