ASSETS.


The property holdings of the company IN
the Yukon territory have been added TO by
the acquisition, both by outright purchase
and by working agreement, or NUMBER
of creek claims within the territory en-,
braced by the company's operations, as well
as some bench and hillside claims suita Die
for hydraulicking. The properties acquired
during 1910 show an estimated total or !,
300 600 cubic yards. Of which 100000 CUBIC
yards approximately are creek gravels
suitable for dredging. the remainder being
hydraulic ground.
The dredges, during the season, handled
3249.7S8 cubic yards. as compared with q
3s1, $50 cubic yards last season, an increase
of 36 per cent. and produced s., ,l50 123 gross
gold as compared with 1888, 122 last sea

value per cubic yard was 66.B cents, as
compared with 57.24 cents last season. or an
increase of Is per cent, and the cost tnls
season was 3l9 cents, while the cost Iast
season was 81 % cents per cubic yard. Inc

selling charges and depreciation. The IN
crease Of 20 per cent in the length or the
operating season is accounted for by the
fact that for the first time since operations
were begun power was available Tor late
fall operations.
II appears that the company's dredging
operation has shown a marked improve
