Digging Machine For Placer

A Missoula, Mont, dispatch says:
After seven years of working and
waiting, the stockholders of the Ken
nedy Creek Gold Mining Co. take con-
siderable delight in the fact that the
dredge which has been in construction
since last April has at last started
regular work on the placer ground
and that the big gold digging machine
is behaving admirably.
The Kennedy Creek placers are stu
ated 80 miles west of Missoula in the
well-known Nine Mile district and are
some of the first-worked properties in
Western Montana. Several local men
took the fortunes out of the richest
ground in the Kennedy Creek gulch
by the Old-fashioned placer mining
methods. In 1904 the Kennedy Creek
Gold Mining Co. was organized in
Missoula with a capitalization of / ,5OO,-
COOS subscribed by a majority of local
people. Investigation looking to the
working of the ground by the modern
dredging method were undertaken at
once by this company and tests were
conducted over the whole area of 400
acres owned. The results of these
tests showed that at least 200 acres
would pay handsomely if dredged.
The figures were presented to the Cal
ifornia Dredging Co. of San Francisco
and last april that company leased the
Kennedy Creek placers for a term of
fifteen years, the lease providing that
dredge be built and operated on a
royalty basis.

Formerly the government collected
the taxes directly. Nowadays they are
for the most part farmed out, and the
contracts are in some instances sold
at auction. Smuggling at seaports and
fraud all over the country mark the
collection of the taxes. Enormous sums
are lost to the government through
bribery of customs officials. 1t is so
easy to smuggle whole cargoes of goods
into Spain that merchants who would
not engage in such practices elsewhere
consider it quasi-legitimate in this
country and do not hesitate to increase
their profits by 1t. The ingratiating

selves with diet consisting chiefly of
vegetables. There is occasionally a

intention OF ending his life in the rooms

of his wife to whom the news of his
death would perhaps come as a well
