of dirt into stations and dropped news

which the records were kept. The serv-
ices of 100 porters. at an expense of $40,-

wagon load is not as big as pinch Of
your fingers. The most of the gold lies
as far from the surface of the earth as
the height of a three or fourstory
house. and with the exception of a foot
so of moss and muck on the top the
material consists of gravel, the stones
ranging in size from powders of quartz
and granite big as a peck measure
down to pebbles the size of a pea and
even fine sand. In many places this ma
terial under the moss is frozen solid Us
though it were one great block of ice,
the powders, pebbles and sand being
cemented together more tightly than the
nuts in peanut brittle. and in this frozen
mass is found the gold.
In the rich creeks where the Gug-
genheims have been operating the
earth carries values to the amount of
co or 10 cents worth of gold to the
ton. 1t pays to thaw the ice out by
steam, but this can be done only at a
cost of about 80 cents to the ton. In the
Boyle concessions, where the earth
carries only 26 cents worth of gold,
some other method of thawing had to
be found, for the steam point process
would cost cents more per ton than
the possible output. Mr.. Boyle StuQled
the problem and decided to make the
sun and the river do his work for him.
He found that if he could get rid of
the muck and the moss. the great nom
conductor that covered the frozen mass
the sun would gradually make its way
down to bedrock. 1t would thaw the
earth to a depth of 10 feet in the
summer and the next winters freeZ-
ing would make solid only about six
feet of this thawing. He found that
when the next summer came the sun
feet of the ice made in the last winter
and then jump through the thawed
ground left from the last summer and
melt four or five feet more of the an
Gent ice strata below In short, il
the moss could be taken away, the sun
would melt it's way to bedrock
Then came the question how to get
the muck off at price that would
pay. Here the forces of nature about
MIN were again brought to bear on the
question. He found that the Klondike
itself would serve for this job All
that he had to do was to dam 1T in
places and turn the course of the river
this way and that. The current soon
washed off the moss and the muck and
when turned again left the gravel jus.
right for the work of the sun.
The next process was to handle the
melted material with such economical
machinery that not an ounce of energy
or a cent of expense went to waste. He
