FIND GOLD IN EAST INDIES
Precious Metal Is Sought in Many
Places, Though No Great Amounts
Are Recorded.

Gold is found in Sumatra, the
Celebes and in Dutch Borneo in beach
deposits, alluvial deposits, tertiary
gravel beds and also in vein deposits.
According to a government report, the
working of the gravel beds has so far
been of little Importance, and the
dredging companies have met with lit
tic success. The natives are employed
to some extent in the washing of river
sediment, and in certain parts Of SUI
matra they also work the tertiary beds
In a primitive way by tunnels. The
larger companies confine themselves
to working vein deposits.
1t is understood that the greatest
quantity of gold is produced in the
residency of Benkulen, Sumatra. The
gold mining area extends sometimes Il
a length of two and one-half miles
Water power can be employed near
" everywhere. Some mines in centra
Sumatra are being worked. The mine
In the Celebes are not as rich as thos
In Sumatra.
