Mr.. F E. Bronson of Wrangell who
is in the service of the Treasury
Department took a deep interest in
the matter and used his influence by
making several strong appeals to the

Marble Company. Congressman FL
bert S. Brigham of Vermont got busy
on the matter and extended his hear
ty cooperation by doing everything
he could to assist in accomplishing
the desired result.

It is calculated that the ditch
work, flume construction, pipe and
giant installations and other neees-
sary work will be completed by the
end of 1928. so that placer mining
operations may begin in the spring
of 1929. In these operations it is
estimated that 1 Gu I'd. of gravel

be possible to handle 1000 Gu. yds.

of the gravel indicates a property
running high in free gold. Alfred
