WILL TRY NEW MINING
 METHOD IN THE YUKON

The mining machinery for the Treadgold Gold Mining Co. which is expected to revolutionize the process of working frozen placer ground in the Yukon Valley is now in Vancou- yer, having arrived there on a recent train from the east. The machinery was brought direct from London by the C. r. k. service. Whether the machinery will reach Dawson this year or not is a problem. On account of the Iateness of the season and the weight of the machinery, 273 tons, the White Pass is not disposed to handle the shipment SO late.
 In handling the frozen placer ground of the interior it has been the practice to use steam points and thaw the ground. This is expensive as the Yukon Gold Company has been pay ing SIS per cord for wood The new machine is in the form of a monster scraper weighing several tons It is operated on a railroad track several miles in length
 The muck and dirt is first sluiced off the gold bearing gravel The sun is then allowed to penetrate the sand and thaw it for depth of possibly eighteen inches. The scraper then moves along and takes the layer of thawcd ground off and returns to the other end of the track. By the time the machine reaches the starting point the sun has again thawed a lay CT of sand and gravel and the scraper takes off another layer
 A. x. C. Treadgold, who was for mcrIy head of the Yukon Gold Cor poration has been making a study Of placer mining methods where frozen ground was encountered for years and has been working out a scheme for more economical method of handling pay gravel. The scraper and track are the results of his observation and study Empire.

American republic should prove to the

J. c. McNEALUS.

Strange how thing that cannot be
seen, touched, smelled, tasted nor
heard can inconvenience you when
you have to do without 1t. Now
there's electricity, for instance. When
the power plant went dead Monday
evening and all the lights went out,
the picture shows stopped, the limo
type machines and presses in the
Eagle office were halted. and all the
other electrically.operated machinery
in the city closed down, It was awfully
inconvenient. And yet this inconve-
nience was caused by the absence OF
a substance SO subtle that the FIVE
senses cannot detect It per Sc. This
reference to the breakdown is not
made in any spirit Of criticism, for 1t
Is understood by all that human In
genuity has never yet devised piece
Of machinery with such a degree OF
perfection that It is immune from &C.
cidents.
