Gold Dredging Costs.

An interesting prediction is report
ed from California in the form of a
statement by Newton Cleaveland, gen
eral manager of the Natomas Consoli-
dated of California, the largest dredg-
ing concern in the West. The predict
ion is that at no distant date the old
placer field Of Oroyille will be re-
dredged. This is the pioneer district
of the modern bucket-elevator dredge,
and it still holds first rank for the
number and output of its gold boats.
In the earlier days the operators not
only passed over areas which were not
then considered profitable, but endur-

ed losses in the tailingS which are
now considered very high. In some
cases the losses are said to have
amounted to 20 per cent Of the gold
content, while at present the average
is not over 10 per cent and, under the
most careful management, as low as >
per cent. Under the rapid progress
that has been made during the last
eight years costs Of operation have
been reduced in some instances to as
little as l.5 cents a cubic yard Of
gravel. II is considered that the
steady improvement will eventually
bring the cost figure down to cent a
yard.
If we revert 10 a time when the pro-
duction costs of a given dredge, hand

the two factors corresponding TO .
working cost of l cent yard and a

yield is roughly equivalent to a former
loss in tailings of 20 per cent on a 10
cent gravel considered too low grade
for profit. TbegreaJ aecumulations
OF tailings and the rejected areas in
the Oroville field are still there, with
early possibility of redredging- This
is what a few years of gold dredge

latively young industry.

The Newhouse Tunnel.

For years the mining world has been
interested in the driving of the New
house tunnel at Idaho Springs, Colo
RADIO. At times, as the work dragged
along, the final outcome was a matter
of doubt, although it had been earnest
ly believed that this great bore would
eventually provide an avenue through
which large ore bodies could be eco
nomically and proftably worked at
depths far below the original water
levels. Now, however, it is being
demonstrated that the advantages to
be derived from the tunnel were no
idle dreams, and realization is proving
to be OF more far-reaching importance
Than were expectations, as splendid
ore reserves are now being worked
which could not possibly be touched
were it not for the existence of the
tunnel.
In speaking of this mammoth enter
prise the Mining Gazette, of Idaho
Springs, says:
Mining in the Newhouse tunnel is in
a more promising condition at this
time than it has ever before been and
the winter will show a big develop
ment of tributary business, while the
scope of business that will be realized
within the next few years can cow
begin to be comprehended. The pres
ent prospect is founded upon the great
ore bodies which have been developed
in the last two years in lateral explor-
ations and which now are in shape for
heavy and continued production. The
most substantial of these is the i'm
mense ore body in the Dyke lode
which the lateral penetrated for a dis
tance of 600 feet and which is now be-
satisfactory condition exists in the
Prize lode where a great ore body has
been explored and prepared for min
ing on a large scale. The output of
the Schaffer lease in the Gem is grow
ing from month to month and it is
confidently anticipated that it will
continue to the surface, LOO feet
above, as its continuation downward
over 1000 feet to the tunnel level has
been demonstrated by the prepara-
tions of White and Van Tilborg. This
latter strike will become a great pro-
ducer within few months in which
the ore shoot will be drifted and stull-
ed. Parties are planning to do some
heavy development In the levels above
to open this ore shoot also, together
with the stand and regular output of
the Saratoga, Sun and Moon and King
Bee make a volume of business in i'm
mediate anticipation that will establish
new conditions in the tunnel.
This splendid development is in no
small measure due to the more liberal
policy now ruling in the tunnel man.
agement which has given to operators
Mohave County miner. [volume] (Mineral Park, A.T. [Ariz.]) 1882-1918, 1911-12-09

an encouragement they did not feel
formerly. The response to these new
terms has been rapid and we feel is a
justification of Gazette's contention
that all mining operations can be and
are stimulated or depressed by the
policies of the management. Affairs
of the magnitude of mining operations
are necessarily sluggish as the break
ing of avenues through hard ground
must invariably precede realization of
expectations, and this has been not
ably true of the development of busi-
ness in the Newhouse tunnel, but it
now appears that the long period of
waiting is nearly at an end.

A Mining Town Under Water

A few years ago the mining excite
ment of the west was centered in the
Thunder Mountain district in central
Idaho. The big rush to the new dis
covery was on in the dead of winter,
and thousands of prospectors, miners
and investors braved the snow and the
storm to get into the new Eldorado!'
For quite awhile the district flourish
ed, claims were developed and improv
ed, and quite a town, called Roosevelt,
was built in the little fat below the
miner al zone. For some reason, how
ever, Thunder Mountain has never
made good. Extensive development
work was performed on a number of
properties and mills were constructed,
but no dividends were ever recorded,
and gradually the district was practi-
cally abandoned. For the last few
years but little has been heard regard
ing Thunder Mountain, and it might
have slipped from memory but for the
disaster which has overtaken the little
town of Roosevelt, considering which
the Statesman, of Boise, says:
Roosevelt, the principal town in the
Thunder Mountain district in central
Idaho in 1912, today is covered by a
lake 600 yards in length and 200 yards
in vidth. and of an average depth of
twenty-five feet. IL was the scene of a
gold strike nine years ago, and thous-
ands braved the hardships and hazards
Of the trail. 1t proved a disappoint-
ment, though much pay ore was de-
veloped nearby.
The circumstance which wiped the
town of Roosevelt from the map was
peculiar. IL resulted from landslide
two years ago, starting near the
source of Mule creek, a mile and a
half from the settlement. The great
avalanche of earth and stone ploughed
its way through a virgin forest with u
roar that was heard for miles.
Twenty-six hours after the break oc-
CURED the mass stopped abruptly
across the lower part of the town,
forming a dam for Monument creek,
which now formed lake where the
townsite stood.
There were few residents in the
town at the time Of the slide, and all
escaped with their possessions, owing
to the slowness of the avalanche. A
log schoolhouse and two cabins, out of
its path, now stand as silent sentinels
to mark the vanished town. The
buildings are situated above the water
line, and as the lake has risen to a
point that it has an outlet, is not likely
the water will become deeper.
Roosevelt camp today is deserted,
the residents having moved TO other
holdin gs. The mines are closed and
the prospectors and miners have
sought newer and more promising
fields in the tributary country, which
is rich in mineral resources. II is
hardly probable that the camp ever
will be resurrected, as it is isolated
and off the line of transportation, be-
sides which it would take a fortune to
drain the water off to make il fit for
habitation.-Salt Lake Mining Review.
