the Federal Horticultural Board has
issued notice that no restrictions

business, rs most OF the cutting OF
Christmas trees and greens is done
beyond the limits OF the quarantine

While Christmas trees or green cut
within the infested area may not go
into interstate traffic because OF the
impossibility of so inspecting tho

possible infestation with gypsy moth
eggs, this restriction does not prevent
tho local movement OF such trees

GOLD PLAcERs OF SIERRA NEVADA.
United States Geological Survey Pro-
fessional Paper by Waldemar Lind

fesHonal Paper by Waldemar Lind
gren,
In ls40 an army of gold seekers
the Forty Miners invaded the Sierra
Nevada OF California. They worked first
along the present streams, but gradua
" traced the metal to the old Tertiary
river beds on the SUBMITS of the ridges
and TO the quartz veins. the primary
source of all the gold in the Sierra.
Millions of dollars were produced an
nually up to the seventies of the last
century, but since that time, owing to
the prohibition of hydraulic mining and
the gradual exhaustion of the richer
channels suitable for drift mining, the
industry has slowly diminished until
now less than Sl,000,000 is produced
annually.
More than SS00000000 has been pro-
dueed from these placers, and an ae-
count OF the natural distribution and
origin of this gold was recently pub
lished BY the United States geological
survey in professional paper 10, by Wal
demar Lindgren The first edition of
this monographs report on the subject
was almost Immediately exhausted, but
the volume has been reprinted and is
now again available for free distribu-
tion.
Referring to the present placer gold
rtserye OF the Sierra, Mr.. Lindgren says:
Gold is still contained in the Tertiary
channels miles OF them are still I'M
worked, but the problems are how to
extract il without damage to other
property from the debris and how to
reduce the cost of drift mining so as
to permit the exploitation of the less
remuneratve deep grayels" In this con-
neetion Mr.. Lindgren has traced the old
channels and has prepared and includ-
ed in this report accurate maps show
ing in detail the Tertiary drainage lines.
Placer Mining at Present.
The decrease in hydraulic mining is
partly Offset by a new industry -dredg-
ing. which has been developed along the
bottom lands thanking the range, and
from this source during 1908, gold val
ued at nearly 81 100000 was recovered.
The gold found in the larger old river
channels is about the size of haxseed,
most OF the nuggets having been found
either within or near quartz veins In
general the channels yield from $40 to
$500 to the linear foot, which may be
compared with 800 foot at Nome,
Alaska, $3.50 in the White channel in
Klondise. and $40 to 81 ,293 in the
Berry drift mines in Victoria, Australia.
The total output of gold in Califor-
MIA is estimated at 81 ,20000000O to ST.
50o,0000O0. about one-fifth of which has
been derived from quartz veins, $780,
100000 from the Tertiary gravels, and
the remainder from the Quaternary de-
posits.

fessional paper 79may be had free of
