ALASKAN GOLDFIELDS.
If the testimony given before
the Senate committee at Wash
ington is any criterion, Alaska
is another example of the famil
iar truth that real wealth of a
goldfield is never fully demon
strated until Ilia .rushes have
subsided and the properties are
worked on a commercial basis.
The /rich 'strikes made ,by the
pioneers are the magnets I hat
draw people from all parts of the
world, but a mining district is
never fully proven until it lias
attracted sufficient capital to
work deposits that would he un
profitable to Hie individual pros
pector. In this connection the
San Francisco Chronicle, in a re_
cent issue, commented editorial
ly as follows:
There have boon various'stam
pedes to places described as the
richest auriferous areas on the
globe, but, failing to furnish an
inducement to tin* ,mining -inr
veslor, they have not added very
materpiUy to the world’s gold
supply. The reason for this is
that, while the rich Jinds may
make individual, /fortunes, they
do not figure- «n prominently in
the returns as the metal obtained
by capital out of poorer deposits.
If is the gold that pays divi
dends that looms largest in the
statistics, and because it repre
sents produel ion on a large
scale.
For years the mines of South
Africa headed the list of produc
tion, and they are a striking il
lustration "f gigantic combina
tions of capital making enor
mous profits out of ore which
averages a smaller perrenlagr of
the precious metal than Helds
more attractive lo I he prospect
or.
Thai Alaska has allracled
large eomhinat ions of capital
sulfieienl. lo prove il one of I Ik*
richest, gold field's in Hie world is
already known, bill I be most op
uptimislir estimate fell short of
Dial made by Joslin al Wash
ington. lie speaks of a placer
area llial will not he exhausted
in a Ihousand years, and of
Ihousunds of miles ol country
rich in both placer and ipiarlz.
There is iiolhing in romance
more stirring lo the imagination,
and yel each of his statements is
fort itled by details giving pre
sumptive eviileie.e 'of solid*
I ruth.
The most striking leal lire of
his reporl is that In Alaska they
arc working, for the most pari,
only I he gravels that will carry
from *:! lo ■ III a yard, whereas
in California we worn them down
lo a value of 1 cents a yard. In
a few areas they ai'd dredging on
a lower basis, lull I he lowest of
these is six limes higher than
the paying minimum in Califor
nia.
With adetpiale I ransporl al ion
and coal mining, Alaska would
be able to lap supplies of gold
practically inexhasutible, and as
California cannot fail to share
largely in her pruwperily, il is
in the best interests of Ibis stale,
to aid I lie territory in every rea
sonable appeal to congress.—
Coldfield .Xd\.) Tribune.
Dredge for Digging Qold in the
Klondike.
One of the largest and most
modern of gold dredges has been
put into service in the Bonanza
B^sin in I he Klondike. This
dredge is 136 feet long, has a
beam of 56 feet 8 inches, and is
14 1-2 feet deep at the bow and
12 feet deep at the stern. The
digging line consists of a string
of 68 buckets, each weighing 4,
700 lbs., and having a capacity of
16.1 cubic feet, while the dig
ging ladder, which is__98 feel
long, weighs, with iTuckels and
tumblers, over 300 tons. The
washing plant comprised a dou
ble set of tables which are prac
tically a double set of sluice
boxes, with one bank superim
posed above the other. These
comprise the gold catching de
vices. This dredge possesses a
number of improvements over
the ordinary dredge. All over
head framework carrying a trav
eling crane extends well forward
of the bow gantry and the lad
der, and runs the full length of
the boat, making it possible to
carry .equipment lo all parts of
the craft for making 'repairs,
while the electrical control of
the boat is so centralized that
only four men are required for
operating it.—Popular Mechan
