cry to keep in repair and operate, and
no damage is incurred if operations are
suspended for few days. When the
time for a cleanup comes, no intricate
process confronts the operator. He
merely turns the water from his sluice
boxes and cleans off the rifles. If a
dry washer is employed, he pans his
concentrates, Generally quicksilver is
usen in making the cleanup, and the
amalgam is treated on the ground,
The resulting bullion can be sent to the
mint or to the banks, by mail or ex-
press, and no excessive freighting costs
are incurred. A cleanup can be made
at any time, and the operator can know
any day, any week, just what he is
taking out; and he has no extra charges
to pay, He just gets money value for
what he has taken out in gold; that is
all.
The great wonder is that more atten-
ton is not paid to placer mining. 1t
has many attractive features, and the
initial outlay is light when compared to
other phases of the mining industry.

Alaska Not All Wealth.

Secretary of the Interior Walter
Fisher, who has been investigating
conditions in Alaska, does not see things
as others have reported Taking up
the coal question, he treated Controller
Bay humorouslv, described its dreary
shores and saying:
81 am not violating any confidence
when I say believe Controller Bay is
not the only possible harbor and is
far from being the best harbor. 1
am seriously disappointed in what l
saw in the Boring river coal fields.
Reports of their extent and character
have been grossly exaggerated. 1 re-
greet this eXaggeration because it may
have been the means of leading persons
to invest in these fields. However.
there is valuable coal and the district
is one of considerable Importance.
There is serious question as to the
market for this coal. l did not visit
the Matanuska fields, tributary to
Seward, but it is reported to contain
better coal than the Bering river and
more of it.
Concerning the coal claimants,
shall strive for absolute justice and ad-
ministration of the law as it is. My
policy will be to open the coal fields tt
development as soon as it can be done.

Old
Renewed Interest in Placer Mining.
Trout
Hide.

During the past few years more than
usual interest is being taken in gold |
plecer mining in several of the western |
states. This phase of the industry GER
tainly is a most attractive one when |
conditions are favorable; and yet it has
been sadly neglected durinff the last
twenty or thirty years. In the early
days placer mining was the mainstay
of the industry. 1t was successfully
followed in California before lode min
ing was ever thought of. 1t was the
forerunner of heavy quartz mining in
Montana and Idaho, and the yield of
nuggets and gold dust in these states
was tremendous. Colorado was an al
most unknown quantity before placer
mining made it famous. Placer mining
was followed in Arizona and Nevada
long before attention was turned to the
development of veins and lodges, and
New Mexico and Mexico have long
been noted for their placer diggings.
Oregon. also was once regarded as
great placer mining section; and yet,
for many years, but little has been done
or said in the matter of placer mining,
possibly because of adverse legislation
regarding tailings, or prevailing be-
lief that all of the good placer ground
has been found and worked out Both
of these reasons, some few years ago,
were tenable. Now, however, with
improvements that have been made fol
the handling of auriferous gravel, botl
dry and wet, there is no reason why
there should not be a revival in golC
placer mining. In the west there i:
hardly state where bars and deposit!
of gold-bearing gravel do not exist
covering enormous areas. In Utal
there are several localities where Their
are extensive gold diggings; the dis
tricts of Nevada are full of them, an
