WILL WORK RICH PLACER
DEPOSITS ABOVE DAYTON

Material in large quantities for
the operation of placer deposits
above Dayton is being shipped in by
the Gold Canyon Dredging company
which will construct a large dredge
for the extraction of the gold. The
company is under the management
of Buckley Wells, well known Colo
RADIO and California mine operator.
G. F. Hilton, who has had charge
of one of the Wells companies in
California, is general manager.
The Gold Canyon Dredging COM
pany has bought and leased about
1000 acres of ground in this To-
cality that is known to carry good
values in gold. From Manual King
the company purchased 294 acres
and has leased about 700 acres from
]. H. Rae of Dayton for a period
of Is years. Both men have been
operating the ground with crude ap-
planes for several years and some
work has been done by lessees. Rae
has owned the leased. ground for
10 years. The operations of King
and Rae have been under Difficult
ties, bedrock being from is to 80
feet deep. They were only able to
work the shallow territory.
Gold deposits of this region are
due to erosion of quartz veins of
Gold Hill, Virginia City and Silver
City, a section made famous by the
great Comstock lode. The gravel
was washed down and deposited in
Gold Canyon ages ago. This can
.yon was the scene of extensive mill
ing operations during the palmy
days of the Comstock, and at one
time 81 quartz mills were in opera
ton above Johnstown. The extent
of the placer deposits has been
proven by 80 shafts sunk on the
Rae ground and IA shafts on Kings
ground, besides 80 drill holes.
Operations will m at the
site of old Johnstown, where gold
was first discovered, and which at
one time had 500 inhabitants. The
discovery of silver ore of great rich
ness on the Comstock attracted
miners from the gold placers and
comparatively little work was done,
Tl@ Co1I Ca~xn DwaH ufnr corn
pany is constructing a dredge with
nine foot buckets, designed to work
to a depth of 40 feet, which will
handle 1000 to 5000 cubic yards
per day. 1t is estimated that there
are 10000. 900 yards of gold bear
ing gravel in the ground acquired
by the company.-Nevada Mining

BIRCH CREEK FIND
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One)
"a few pieces not greater than sew
eral eggs producing a prospect in
the pan of Its free gold that
will excite the cupidity of any one
seeing the results.
The writer has seen many gold
discoveries in his years Of mining,
but seldom if ever anything quite
like this, and one familiar with gold
deposits can not help specializing on
what will be the net yield. assum-
ing reasonable dimensions, three
ways, should the values continue to
obtain as the surface shows, and
there should be no valid reason for
the deposit quitting, at shallow
depths or contracted length.
Replying to a request for a state
ment concerning the Birch Creek
strike, H. w. Dyer, cashier of the
Lander County Bank at Austin, who
with four other Austin men has Sc
cured an option on the property,
writes the Nevada Mining Press as
follows:
1t is true that a phenomenal
strike has been made. How big
it will be cannot at this time be
foretold.
Planning can be obtained On the
surface for a distance of 1870 feet
across the ledge or pay zone which
can be traced for several miles.
Paintings cannot be made. however,
for the entire length of the ledge.
A tunnel which is now in 125
feet cut the ore body 60 feet from
the portal and is still in ore. Pan
nings can be obtained from the so
foot mark to the face, some of them
showing a string of gold almost
around the pan. A high grade
streak about two inches wide near
the face gave an assay of $51 900.
The strike was made by Jack
Cahill who has given an option on
the property to ]. H. Ingram, J.
F. Bowler, w. G. Francis, DR.. G. L.
Belanger and myself.
We have started another tunnel
farther down the hill which will, we
expect, cut the r body at about
$50 feet and about the same dis
lance from the surface.
The property has been examined
by a number of mining engineers
as we'll as cauntless miners and
%prospectors and all pronounce it
the greatest showing for the amount
of work done they have ever seen.

NEWS OF MINES OF VIRGINIA CITY

The reports from the mines for
the past week show that Con. vir-
ginia on the 215O level, continues
to extract a fine grade of ore from

easterly in the vein, 1877 tons had
an average assay value of $3s.36
per ton; at a point 80 feet south
westerly in the same vein from the
south drift, SO tons averaged $s2.25

STATE VOCATIONAL NEWS

CARSON CITY, New, Sept. 3d.
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day % to 20, there was held at the
state capitol building a conference
of Nevada superintendents of public
instruction. A part of the time on
wednesday and Thursday was de-
voted to a discussion of the part
time school plan.
The state director of vocational
education would appreciate receiv-
ing the names of soldiers who have
been disabled in service. The gov
eminent under the amendment to
the rehabilitation act of July II,
1919, may pay from $50 to $50 TO
a disabled soldier going to school
and training for a new occupation.
1t is the intention of the depart
ment to keep the interested public
informed of the vocational program
in Nevada by sending out each week
for release on Saturdays the state
vocational news as furnished by the
different schools in the state.
Aside from the special classes
formed for part time school work in
the Reno high school, students at
tending four hours per week under
the requirements of the part-time
school act may under certain condi>
lions enter Individual classes be-
longing to the regular full day
course.
The state director of vocational
education, Ralph A. Jones, returned
to Carson Wednesday morning from
la trip to Tonopah and Goldfield,
where he visited the vocational min
ing schools and inquired into the
possibilities of establishing part
time schools.
The Tonopah school of mines is
now established in a new building
and is open for enrolment. A mum
Der of students have enrolled de-
spite the strike situation.
The Goldfield school of mines is
established in a building which was
once a grade school. 1t is spleh>
Ididly equipped. The enthusiasm of
both the students and the COM
munity for the good work being
conducted in this school is very
pleasing.
A survey throughout the state
proves that since the passage OF
the part-time school act numbers of
students in every community have
returned to full time day schools.
This is particularly true in Reno.
State Director Jones addressed
the student body of the Goldfield
high school last Tuesday. and talked
of the national need for leaders and
for skilled workers and of the i'm
portance to the youth of leaving
school adequately prepared for an
earning capacity, and for doins
lsome of the worlds useful work.

U. ATTITUDE
TO GOVERN PAN
AMERICAN ACTION
Must be for America to Say
How Panama Canal is to be
Controlled.
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Jan. 24.-The question OF
whether Pan-America should be inter
nationalized under the league of ma
tions would depend entirely upon the
attitude of the U. S. government, ac-
cording to the belief expressed tonight
by Lord Robert Cecil, who has sub
mitted to the peace congress a draft
of the British view of the structure
of the league. He spoke at a confer.
ence of journalists in answer to a
query based upon speculation by the
press on Features of the new society
of nations.
Lord Robert said he had not heard
any formal or specific discussion of
the Panama Canal among the dele
gates, it being mentioned only Incl
dentally in connection with other
waterways, sice it is property of the
United States and it must be for that
country to say how it shall be con-
trolled.
In speaking Of the admission OF neu-
trails into the league on the same basis
as other nations, Lord Robert said
that 1t was his conception that there
should be no classification but that
all sovereign independent states
should have equal rights. In the gen.
eral discussion which followed this
remark he said 1t would be disaster
If no South American nations were in
cluded in the organization.
Must Have Public Opinion.
The question was raised as to
whether If big indemnity is assessed
against Germany, she should be kept
out Of the league until payment was
completed. Lord Robert replied she
should not be barred merely because
of her inability to pay. in case the in
IDENTITIES should run over a long peri
3D.
He said that no definite proposals
had as yet been made regarding limi-
tation of ornaments, which is pre-
senting an extremely difficult prob
lem. In his opinion, there must be
limitation, but there cannot be total
disarmament since every country
must maintain certain defensive fore
es.
In discussing means for enforcing
the rulings of the league, Lord Rob-
ert said:
IF you are going to try to force
peace by the mechanical perfection Of
your machinery, the attempt will be a
failure. You must have behind you
public opinion. Machinery is impor-
tant, but without a favorable atmos-
phere against war it will fail"
He believed that free press is
highly important, since through the
press this favorable atmosphere can
be created.
