Placer Company at Mystic

The Castle Greek Hydraulic Placer
company expects to be in operation as
soon as spring opens While in Den
yer, the writer had the pleasure Of
meeting some of the principal parties
interested in this new mining ve1r-
ture. Something like $12O,OO0.OO in
actual cash was raised in that city to
carry on the plan Of working bed rock
with asteam dredge. The large firm
Of Stems, Rogers & Co., has finished
the plant which can be seen from the
Burlington train near Mystic All of
the tests made on the bed rock before
the work of constructing the dredge
began, were very tlattering and
showed in some places very rich
gravel. 1t is stated that this Denver
building firm has taken another con-
tract for a similar plant on an adjoin-
ing property, the money for which to
be furnished by Denver people. An
other large dredging scheme is to be
carried out at Pactola this spring by
the Sherman Brothers, the capital
being furnished by Pittsburg people.
1t is estimated that there are more
than twenty miles of placer gravel
rich enough to pay, along Castle creek
and Rapid river. The results of this
first real effort at steam dredging in
the Black Hills, will be watched with
unusual interest. If it is a success
it will open up an entirely new field
for mining, not only in the Genital
Hills, but even in old Deadwood gulch
and over in the linton Bear Gulch
District or wherever placer gold ap.
