MUCH COARSE GOLD is FOUND
IN THE ORIGINAL CHANNEL
GRAVEL
TA|L|NGS ELEVATED SO FEET
George VI. Esterly, Purchaser Of Pro-
perty, Plans Installation Of Much
More Equipment

The original "old channel" or bed
Of the ancient river, the dream Of
which has caused many a weary
to renew the search, has
been discovered in the Esterly mine
at Waldo, and one giant is now
operating in gravel carrying plen-
tiful supply OF course gold.
Last week a pit was piped to a
depth of 22 feet below the level of
former workings, at a point between
two benches of bed rock which had
previously been uncovered. This
pit opened UP bed of gravel entire
ly different in character from the
clay banks which have proved inn
mensely profitable during the past
so years of active operation OF the
mine. The depth of this gravel has
not yet been determined as no test
ing has been done in this particular
spot, although a hundred prospect
shafts had been sunk during the pre-
investigation of the proper
ty. No cleanup has yet been made
to base an estimate OF the values car
ried but enough panning mas been
done to show high values.
Heretofore the gold secured at this
mine has been fine and flour gold
and was evenly distributed through
the clay banks which ranged from
Is to S5 feet.
This property, formerly known as
the Logan mine, and the Simmons
mine. has been a profitable producer
for more than so years. 1t now
consists of 4,200 acres. practically
all of which is pay dirt. With it
is water right of $4,000 inches.
Water for mining is supplied by a
system of bitches totaling 25 miles
in length.
This property was purchased in
September, 1916, at cost of s140,-
900 from James Logan, who had
operated it for many
years.
The lack of sufficient grade for
the dumping of tailings led to the
installation OF a hydraulic elevator
system, the tailings being carried up
7S feet by two elevators. The in
stallation of a third elevator last
week carries the tailings a total dis
tance of SO feet above the pit just
opened.
All the standard placer gold saw
ings devices are in use, yet owing to
the fineness of the gold much of it
Is carried over in the tailings. Mr..
Esterly proposes to install during
the coming season an invention of
his own called a water classifier, and
which he is confident will recover 80
per cent of the values. 1t is pro-
posed to do away with the elevator
system by opening race to the west
fork of the Illinois river. This race
will require 700-foot tunnel through
serpentine.' The elimination of the
hydraulic elevator system will re-
lease for actual mining volume of
water several times that now used.
The expense of these improvements
is estimated at from 10000 to $780,
900.
The daily capacity of the mine is
1000 cubic yards, at an average cost
of less than 6 cents, but when the
improvements are
made the capacity will be much
greater with reduction of opera
tion cost to about V cent per yard.
The mine is In operation day and
night for eight months in the year,
a battery Of nine 2,000-candle power
search lights, and many 1,000-candle
power tower lights making night
work possible. e
