the gulch the pay gravel has generally
yielded over 80 to the cubic yard.
Many unusual and interesting fea-
lures are presented in these deposits,
which are described in detail in Bulle-
tin 640-J of the United States Geolog-
ical Survey, Department of the Inter
ior by H. G. Ferguson. Elephants,
deer, and native wild horses were once
inhabitants of this part of Nevada,
and when the gold was first deposited
in an old stream bed, large lake oc-
cupied the dusty desert which gives
Smoky Valley it's name. The later
history of the region, with its sue
cessive changes of climate. has been
traced by interpreting the record left
by the different types of gravel beds
that have so deeply buried the rich
gravel.
A popularity of the gold of the
placer gravels is that downstream
from it's source the gold itself shows
marked increase in purity. At the
upper end of the gulch the bullion
contains 700 parts gold per 1000. but
at the westermost mine, miles down
stream, it's fineness has increased to
740 parts per 1000.

PLACER MINING IN THE DESERT.
Gold Deposited by Ancient Streams
Now Eeira Mined in Central Me-


To one unacquainted with local con-
ditions semlarid region, entirely
lacking flowing streams, would not
seem to be y promising field for placer
mining. yet the gold produced from
the placer mines of the Manhattan
district, in central Nevada, has near
ly equa1led in value the gold taken
from its lode mines.
Manhattan Gulch, which during the
last decade has produced nearly
100000 in placer sold. Is dry,
gravel-f1lled valley extending west
ward from the center of the Toyabe
Range to Big Smoky Valley. The
bedrock on which the pay gravel rests
lies from 40 to more than 100 feet be-
low the surface, and water is scarce.
so the gold must be recovered by I'M
derground mining. An underground
stream flowing along the bottom of
this gravel-f1lled gulch supplies suf-
ficient water for s1uicing the gold
bearing gravel. In places this gravel
is extremely rich. Material carrying
as much as $50 a cubic yard has
been mined from the best ground, and
