TWO MORE BIG DREOGES
COMING FROM ALASKA
YUKON GOLD COMPANY WORKS
OUT kLoNDlkE GROUND
SHIP DREDGES.

The Citizen, published at Fairbanks,
Alaska, has the following which seems
to bear out the statement heretofore
made by the Miner that the successful
operation of the dredge now working
on Pritchard creek, near Murray.
would be followed by the addition of
one and perhaps two more dredges
klondike Worked Out.
With the freezing up Of the Klon-
dixie and the closing down of the
dredges for the winter, the cream of
stream is practically cleaned out.
The big dredges of the Yukon Gold
company finished the seasons work
by dredging the entire creek from end
to end and also completed dredging
Eldorado to 81 above discovery.
These operations take about all of
the best of the ground. The once rich
dirt is exhausted, or practically so.
There is still some pay dirt to be
handled, but the biggest part of the
job is completed, and part of the
dredges will be taken to other sec
| tons.
Crews are now engaged in knock
ing down two of the largest dredges
and they will be hauled in during the
shipped to the outside on one of the
first boats next spring. While it is not
known where they will be sent, it is
thought likely that they may be taken
to Murray. Idaho, where one of the
company's dredges from here was
shipped last June, and which has just
been installed and Is now working"
Company as Much Ground.
The dredge that is now being OPP
Grated on Prichard creek by the Yukon
Gold company is said to be meeting
with most gratifying success. The
dismantling of the dredges in Alaska
does not of course necessarily mean
that they will be brought to Pricharo
creek, for since the ground where they
have been employed has been worked
out they must be moved somewhere
But as the Yukon has a large tract
on Prichard that has been proved
highly profitable, it is most natura
that they would utilize idle dredges
in working it. In addition to tn
company's present holdings, it has
been reported that negotiations arr
also pending for another continguou
tract on Eagle creek, which it is be
lieved would pay as we'll and probabl
better than Prichard.

BURCH EXPECTS SILVER
WILL GO TO s. An OUNCE
NEW EXPLOSIVE RuLEs-eov'
EMINENT FAIR TO MINERS
NO BIMETALLlSM TALK.

Albert Burch, of San Francisco, the
widely known mining engineer who
frequently visits this district on prof
oss;onal business and to visit DR.. and
Mrs Max 4. Smith, of this city, Mrs.
smith being his daughter recently re-
,,rned from Washington, where he had
haen called for conference with the
mining bureau. Upon his return he
gave out some interesting information
raparding the attitude of the govern
mant toward the metal miners of the
west, which is embodies in the follow
ing from the San Francisco Bulletin:
New Explosive Rules.
The federal government has just ad-
iusted through the mining bureau the
most stringent regulations in it's his
tory regarding the handling of ex-
nlosives after they have reached the
gold. silver and other mining proper
ties.
These new rules were adopted last
week and were practically coincident
with the explosion at Governor
stephens residence in Sacramento. The
presumption is that the explosives used
in Sacramento were stolen from some
mine. The Washington authorities had
in view just such thefts in making
their new regulations.
Reduce Danger.
Some thirteen rules have been adopt
ed on the subject. Owing to the con-
gestion in the public printing office in
the national capital copies of these
rules in large numbers will not be
printed before February, 1918.
The producers of explosives, those
who sell them, and the transportation
companies which convey them, already
have strict rules to govern them in
this matter. The new regulation for
the mines is supplemental to them
and are supposed to reduce to almost
nothing the danger of irresponsible
parties getting hold of any explosives
This information was made public
today by Albert Burch, the well known
mining engineer, who is president OF
the Metal Producers association of
California. and who has just returned
from a conference in Washington, ID.
c., with the mining bureau. He as
sisted in preparing the regulations
mentioned.
Want Gold and Silver.
Burch also made the interesting
staten that President Wilson and
his associates never had any idea OF
in any way hampering the production
of either gold or silver President
Wilson's policy is to have as much
gold as possible mined in the United
States, and also to keep within the
country as successfully as he can all
the gold that has flowed into the
country's Golfers since the war be-
gan.
sThe balance of trade against this
country with India is now 10000
OO0 a month, partly owing to the
heavy imports from that country OF
jute," said Mr.. Burch.
Silver 81 per Ounce.
"The balance Of trade against us
with Japan is fully $4O,0OO000. Japan
is willing to take silver in place OF
gold. These facts are natural trade
conditions. The United States has
an embargo against the export OF
gold, and just how she will make
foreign trade settlements in silver
am not able to speak about.
"The federal authorities desire to
do the fair thing with the silver
miners, and, among other things, VIII

ty gets less than 81 on every 500 paid
by Wallace. While Mr.. Murphys re-
marks were not calculated to encour-
age the people in the hope of getting
county assistance, it is believed that
he and his associates on the board
may be induced to take different
view after they have a formal con-
ference with the committee to be ap-
pointed by the mayor

taken toward improving the stream,
j. f. Clyde said the matter of having
no available funds could be overcome
by the issuance of deficiency warrants.
The law would not permit the city To
bond for this purpose, but 1t would
permit bonds for the Improvement of
street intersections and the construc-
ton of bridges Bonds for these pur-
poses could be voted and the money
used for the redemption of deficiency
warrants.
City Attorney Worstell said the city
had authority under the law to issue
bonds to build bridges and that this
authority might be extended to ac-
complish the purpose under considera-
decision of the supreme court before
the bonds could be sold, thus consum-
ing much time. He agreed with the
suggestion of Mr.. clyde that the city
could meet the present emergency
ty issuing deficiency warrants. but
could hardly see how these could be
covered by bonds for street intersec-
tons and bridges. Paving of all
street intersections had been paid for.
while the amount required for build
ing wooden bridges. which would be
the rule in future, would be a COM
paratively small sum.

ounce The cost of producing an
ounce of silver has increased fully
oo per cent because of the higher
price of supplies and labor. A doll
lar an ounce, 1t would seem, would
be fair all around.
Railroad Fair to Miners.
I had a talk with Judge Robert
). Lovett, head Of the priority ship
ment bureau. He said that there
was every intention to treat all of the
mines fairly in the matter of trans
portatlon. Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo and others made similar ex-
pressions. OF course, there is con-
gestion of railway traffic, affecting all
kinds of freight, and the miners are
affected the same as other lines OF
activity"
No Talk Of Bimetallism.
Burch says there is no talk in
Washington, so far as he heard, about
bimetallism. The silver miners them
selves are not agitating the question
He was told that Senator Shafroth OF
Colorado is a champion of bimetalisn
and has introduced resolution in the
senate on that subject. His senatorial
colleagues do not appear to give him
the least bit of support, however,

The discussion at times took in the
contributing causes which brought on
the recent disaster. Thus when +. o..
Swanson, whose home on the narrow
strip between the creek and the hill
lust above High street, was called
upon to give his views upon the pro-
nosed Improvement, he took occasion
to saw that his house would not have
been disturbed had it not been that
the concrete wall had been projected
into the channel about four feet to
provide the intake for the Hercules
mill pipe line, bringing the current
squarely against the wall under his
house and then diverting it to the OPP
posite side. This point was also
brought out by John H. Nordquist,
whose property on the opposite side
suffered by the diversion of the cur
rent from the Swanson house. These
and other comments were made IN
order to emphasize the necessity for
the city and county to supervise the
construction of retaining walls to pre-
serve uniformity, rather than to in
trust the matter to individual prop
erty owners.
! G.. r. Rudy drew a somewhat heat.
ed retort from Mr.. Swanson when he
asked who owned the ground upon
which Mr.. Swanson's house had stood
Mr.. Swanson replied that 1t belonged
to him. Mr.. Rudy asked from whom
he received title, and stated that II
was his understanding that the ground
in question had been given to the
light and water company by the city
for protection along the creek. Al
this juncture T. J. Potter, who lives
on the same strip above Mr.. Swanson
took the floor and protested against
this attempt to throw doubt upon thu
title to his property He said TIM
light and water company had M
claim on the ground and that he hat
a complete abstract which proved
perfect title. An appeal was made t.
ID. c. McKissick, manager Of the ligh
land water company, but before n
could be drawn into the controvers.
Mayor Brown called the participant
to order and ruled the whole discus
sion out of order as foreign to tn
purpose Of the meeting.

D. l.. McGrath was of the opinion
that the county should not be expected
to join the city in improving the
creek. The commissioners had all
they could do to look after and re-
pair the damages to roads in all parts
of the county, and in his opinion 1t
was up to the people of Wallace to
take care of Placer creek. The thing
to do was to go at it. If part of the
proposed improvement Is outside the
city, extend the limits to include it and
issue bonds to cover the expense. The
commissioners, he said had accom-
plished much in the way of improv-
ing the roads of the county and now
they We're up against rebuilding them
In many sections. They should not
be asked to help in this matter which
concerns only the city.

Mrs Mallon, the only lady speaker,
referred to the former Placer creek
AT that time the city agreed that the
channel of Placer creek through the
city should be maintained at 40 feet
in width, and in subsequent sales of
lots in her addition this provision was
included in the terms of the transfer.
At the time the Wallace Hospital was
built she and other property owners
protested against narrowing the chan
mel, but they were unheeded, and the
city itself has since then reduced the
width of the channel in places.

been elected from the church and high
school, but 1t seems difficult matter to
find leaders to take charge of the several
groups, il only four are allowed to a
leader. Since Secretary Saxton entered
the service, the squads here have been
like sheep without shepherd-no hikes,
no games and no prospect OF the annual
camping trip so much enjoyed. 1t is
to be hoped that plans will be formed
at the conference to provide leader for
this section of the county.
Considerable interest is felt here by
relatives of Miss Alice Henderson Of
Gardiner in, her recent appointment as
watcher in fire lookout station in
Maine. her post OF duty being at Kineo.
For several months Miss Henderson,
who is but twenty-one years old, will
live all alone in that watch tower on top
OF Mt. Kineo, two and one half miles from
the Mt. Kineo house. II the season should
be very dry, another young woman will be
with her. Mrs. Eliza Robbins of this
place feels justly proud of the courage
and ability that have secured to her
grandniece this responsible and perhaps
dangerous position.
