NEW cold DREDGING
season NOW OPEN
Colorado Operators Begin
Work in Breckenridge
District
HOPE TO UNCOVER
MANY DEEP VEINS

DENVER, Colo. April i9-At Breck-
enrldge the gold dredging season has
been opened by the French Gulch Gold
Dredging Company, whose boat Is said
TO be extracting more than $1,000 in
gold daily from the sands. A new dredge
boat has been installed on the p. and l..
placer In the Blue River valley by the
Powder River Gold Dredging Company,
but It has been prevented from oper-
etlng by transformer troubles en- the
power line. II probably will be sble to
start work within the next several days.
This boat can dredge to a greater depth
than flfty feet below the water line and
Is thoroughly modern. The Tonopah
Pl1cers Company is about to put its
three dredge boats to work on tho three
rich olarers which It operates.
In 1877 the gold dredging industry
of Breckenridge produced sS5O,0OO In
placer gold, but with the addition OF
The new Powder River Gold Dredging
Company boat, the output this year is
expected 10 reach si,000OO0.
The Climax Molybdenum Company, at
Climax, recently made It's first big ship
ment, consisting OF twenty-five tons OF
concentrate averaging 20 per cent mo-
iybedenite TO the ton. This lot was
sent under armed guard TO a govern
ment plant at Pittsburg and undoubt-
edly was the largest shipment OF its
kind ever transported across the con-
tinent. Since the product brought 50 d
pound, the twenty-five tons had a gross
value Of 100000. As the Climax Molyb-
denum Company is now able to pro-
duce two tons Of concentrates daily, II
ranks as the greatest producer OF
molybdenum In the United States.
Kentucky interests have leased the
Perigo mineral group. including the
Gold Dirt mine. near Rollinsville, and
Will operate both the Gold Dirt mill OF
Afty tons daily capacity and the perlgo
mill Of 100 tons daily capacity. The
Gold Dirt mill will be electrified and
modern concentration as we'll as the oil
dotation process will be adopted.
Further, the same company that will
develop the perlgo group has acquired
She PactOlus placer ground In the dis
trlct and has ordered a big dredge
which will be placed on the ground in
tho near future. In a superficial way
this placer ground has been worked by
miners and found 30 be rich. 1t has
never been dredged, however. and viii

the mining company believe.
Ground is 10 be broken at once near
Grand Valley by the Columbia OF
Shale and Refining Company for th'
erection Of a plant to treat oil shale, thl

TO add other units until a daily capacit.
OF 1000 tons Is attained.

Admiral Dyson. one OF the foremost
men in propeller and engine detail Of
the United states Navy, gave an inter
estlng lecture last night before the
students OF Cornell University, who arc
receiving their final practical work at
the Harlan plant OF the Bethlehem Ship
building Corporation, on "a Retrospect
Of Fifty Years in Navy Marine Engi-
neering." He outlined the vast I'm
pr provements made In warshlps in that
period Of time, and concluded with a
grim statement that the L. S Navy is
now facing an acid test, but that when
the time comes 10 will bear the brunt
as glorlously as In the past"
His lecture dwelt entirely with the
technical end. Step by step he pre-
sented the growth OF battleships and
cruisers and torpedo boats, destroyers
and submarines

When that is done the 1918 turnout
OF graduates may then be said to have

Second. Cover the frmness Of the
above remedy. and appeal TO the sense
OF community loyalty by enllsting the
girls. mol Not in the way you think
but suppose you do this:
Let THE JOURNAL offer three prizes
SO, s. and 81. for the three best designs
for 1918 farm service insignia. Boys
and girls will turn their thoughts to
devisng what IS most artistic and ap-
pr0prlate for sleeve or hat band, and
you can easily secure three local artists
TO make selection. The design deemed
best to receive the prize. and each girl
In the High School is then to make one
or two OF these insignla.--one for each
boy In the school. The insignia TO
be delivered to the school authorities
(you can have u copyrighted and pre-
vent misuse); one to be awarded TO
every lad who performs two months
continuous farm labor. with increasing
embellishments for those reaching
three or four months service.
To hold general interest in the boys
acts you are TO offer 81 weekly for the
best letter received by you every week
