DESCRIBES ADVANTAGES
OF DREDGING FOR GOLD
Alex Del Mar Tells of Prospects for
(Ireat Output in Alaska by
That Method.
Marvelous prospects for gold mining
by the dredging process in Alaska are
outlined by Alex. Del Marin the Engi
neering News. Comparing it with
placer mining he says:
“Placer mining came to a stop in
Egypt and Spain when their product
fell to the level of hand labor:, it
stopped in Brazil partly for the same
reason and partly because the gravel
being small and line the placer fields
hit nearly flat and the mines are ‘out
of grade.* It stopped in California
because the tailings choked up the
j rivers, and the law courts interdicted
! the hydraulic process. In Australia it
i had almost passed the level of hand
labor when the gold dredge was in
I vented. In Alaska, though stopped in
l winter for lack of running water, it is
! still going on during the summer time
when the streams are released from
frost. In none of these countries was
placer mining arrested because there
was no more gold in the gravel, hut
for the other reasons stated, all of
which are now remedied by the gold
dredge. This invention supersedes
hand labor by machinery; it requires
no grade or declivity down which to
sluice its gravel: it will choke no
river: it needs only enough water to
tloat it-.elf in and to wash the gold
with, and all this water it cananddoes
use over again. It is as much at home
in the arid but auriferous deserts of
Arizona as in the golden marshes of
the Feather river.
“What is this ‘gold ship?' It is
simply a dredge that floats in a pond
of its own making and which accom
panies it wherever it chooses to go and
which enables it to move over the
land in any direction. It scoops up
the gravel, subjects it on its decks to
the action of any desired process, me
chanical or chemical and then, hav
ing exhausted it of its gold, casts the
gravel behind, and keeps on advanc
ing until the field before it is thor
oughly sifted and treated from surface
to bedrock.
“As the ground can be thoroughly
tubed and sampled beforehand, this
process lifts gold mining from the cate
gory of speculative enterprises to that
of a manufacturing business. The
gold dredge is a gold manufactory,
with an insatiable demand and assured
market for its product at the rate of
$20.17 per Troy ounce fine, paid down
by the mints in jr >ld coin. No risk, no
idle stock on hand, no bad debts, no
commissions, brokerages or discounts,
nor monopoly of trade now or ever
possible. An instant sale for the en
tire product at a fixed price, paid in
cash. Such are the incomparable con
ditions of the gold manufacturing
business.”
SANTA CLARA BRINGS
600 TONS OF FREIGHT
Steamer Santa Clara arrived in port |
J Tuesday afternoon shortly after 5
• o'clock with 29 first-class and 2*> steer
' age passengers and 600 tons of freight.
iOf the cargo 94 tons was local mer*
j chandiso and the remainder was for
the railroad company. It included 250
tons of steel and a large quantity of
bridge timber.
The Santa Clara remained in port
discharging cargo until Thursday
morning at 11 o’clock when she sailed
for Seldovia. She retuiYied at 9:30
last night, making the round trip in
34 i hours, and sailed for Seattle at 11
with a small passenger list.
\Y. G. Jack came in from Crow
creek Saturday evening, and with Mrs.
Jack sailed for Seattle on the Santa
Clara. They will spend the winter in
California._
It is reported that Swiftwater Bill
Gates has knocked out $1,000,000 in
gold during the past season in the
Tanana. _
The Rampart Forum tells of numer
ous big clean-ups and says the gold
output of the district shows a large in
crease.
Thieves stole $100,000 gold from the
Tanana river steamer Ida May and no
trace of thieves or dust can be found.
Skagway has a population of 1056
according to a recent census, a slight
loss over the preceding year.
Large quantities of copper ore were
freighted to Teller over the snow last
winter by reindeer power.
Seward peninsula is planning at
least twenty more water ditches for

MEXICANS WARN
FOREIGNERS OUT
- !
Post Circulars in Border Towns
Ordering* Americans and
Others To Leave- j
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Laredo, Tex., July 21—Circulars
were posted yesterday in many places
along the border, chiefly in mining
camps, warning foreigners to leave
the country. The cry has been raised
“Mexico for fllexicans!” The move
ment is particularly directed against
Americans.
The Mexican government antici
pates a gigantic labor upheaval. Symp
toms of it have been visible for
months, of which the uprising at the
Greene copper mines at Cananea last
month was an example. It is claimed
that American labor organizers have
been working among the Mexican
miners and that the indirect result of
their effort has been to incite an anti
foreign movement.
PULJANES REVOLT
IN ISLAND OF LEYTE
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.
Manila. l\ l.. July 23—Six hundred
Puljanes ambushed a troop of con
stabulary in the island of Leyte and
killed Lieut. Worswick, Scout Mc
Bride and twelve privates. The con
stabulary were driven hack but re-in
forcements took the field and are now
pursuing the Puljanes, who number
2000 in t he Held.
Troops Defeat Puljane Rebels /
Manila. July 26 News comes of a
battle fought by the Twenty-fourth in
fantry with a large number of Pul
janes on Leyte island, in which 50 of
the Puljanes were killed and wounded.
The American troops had none killed
and their list of wounded is small.
Sinook Bismuth Deposits
Further developments of the Sinook
bismuth region show that the ledge
and placer deposits of that metal are
very rich. As the demand for bismuth
is greater than the supply, the Sinook
mines are certain to prove highly re
munerative. Up to this time little has
been done but prospecting. Now the
ledge has been traced, and it has also
been found that there is much bismuth
in a washed state to be found in the
the creeks.—Nome Nugget.
Big Ditch on Casadepaga
One of the most important under
takings in the Casadepaga district is
the ditch that is being built by Messrs.
Webster & Kester. The ditch is 23
miles long. It begins at the head of
Canyon creek, and runs down Casade
paga to a point near Dawson creek, a
few miles above the Niukluk river.—
Nome Nugget.
Wants William John Irwin
Information of William John Irwin :
is wanted by his mother, Mrs. Irwin, of
Laurel bank, Knoch, Belfast, Ireland.
He was last heard from at Seward.
His lather died recently.
Ketchikan recently scraped up 1000 |
population at a special census and
according to law saloon licenses im
mediately rose from $500 to $1000,
whereat the conductors of refresh
ment parlors were so annoyed that
they refused to dig up for a Fourth of
July celebration and the town had
none. _
The Alaska Monthly, published at
Juneau, the only monthly magazine
issued in the territory, is out with the
July number, which is the fourth. It
is printed on the best quality of paper,
which brings out the cuts handsomely,
and it contains a store of valuable cur
rent information of Alaska.
A handsomely illustrated booklet on
Nome and Seward peninsula has been
issued by E. S. Harrison. It contains
exhaustive and well-written descrip
tions of the mines and scenery of the
region, and as a “boom” for the coun
try is a winner.
The secretary of the interior, in
September 1899, decided that a patent
may issue covering both quartz and
placer claim, this decision reversing
that made previously by United States
Land Commissioner Best.
While the steamer Al-Ki was dis
charging at the Tacoma smelter July
4, the dock collapsed and $9,000 worth
of Treadwell sulphurets went to the
bottom of the bay. It may be partial
ly recovered by the use of a dredger.
While the sailors’ strike has not
stopped passenger vessels it is stated
in Seattle that freight is much de
layed by the inability to keep the
freighters supplied with sailors.
