likely that gold in suficlent
quantity for exploitation can
be found along the Missouri

ham Of the state school Of
Mines said here today
He headed a party which re-
Gently tested sand bars Of thos,
streams to determine whethei
victims Of drouth could carr
living wages banning and rocking
for gold.
DR.. Francis e. Thomson. pres
dent OF the school, said the re.
suits thus far obtained do moi
justify a recommendation from
the bureau Of mines that the bars
be worked.
Reports received by the party
said prospectors in isolated cases
made wages searching for gold
along the streams rs years ago
''The testing, bingham said
was begun at Fort Benton and
down stream to a mile
below the Judith river Trib-
utaries were examined one-hali
mile upstream. Microscopes and
analytical work on the black
concentrates taken on the trir
have progressed far enough "a
show that, although colorn were
found, gold IN sufficient sizes Of
quantity for commercial exploita-
ton was not found.

A widespread revival Of
