LAUDED BY J. DAILEY
Jack Bailey, who has spent the
la-st two winters trapping and buying
fur in the Lake Clark country and
who during the past year did excep
tionally well, when queried about
whom in his estimation, what fui
dealing company he preferred to dc
business with, recommended the Se
attle Fur Exchange. He gave as his
reasons that they are at all times
in touch with their patrons, advising
of fluctuations of the market. Also
their forecasts on prices have thus
far been accurate, which to the tra
der, trapper and buyer, who require
a few weeks advance notice, is of ex
treme importance. And the prices
obtain for furs sent them have al
ways brought fair returns.

NOW TO BUILD AUTOMATIC
SPLASH GATE BOOMER
Among the greatest aids to hand
placer mining, where ground sluicing
is desired is the Automatic “boomer”
or splash gate.
Building a boomer is no trick for a
man handy with carpenters’ tools.
Here is ho\f it is done:
For a boomer carrying a volume of
water approximately four feet wide
by three feet deep, use, preferably
inch and a half thick 12-inch boards
eight feet in length for the sides and
bottom. These should be supported
by at least four studs of two-by-four
or four-by-four, being placed at the
ends and at equal distances apart on
the outside of the box or trough. The
bracing for the bottom should extend
beyond the width of the floor a suf
ficient length to permit of “toe-nailing”
the upright studs, thus guarding
against pressure from within bulging
the sides and creating an uneven
surface. When the bottom is in po
sition in the bed of the stream, which
should be turfed to create a smooth
bedding and prevent seepage beneath
the floor, nail on the sides. Use two
by-fours across the top to hold the
sides in position and secure rigidity.
Next in order is the splash gate.
This gate is made to fit within the
trough or body of the boomer, with
the sides planed so as to work evenly
and smoothly.
The gate should be nailed to two
by-fours placed one foot apart, to
make it rigid. Measure off one-third
of the length of the gate and at this
point place a four:by-four cross-piece.
This is for the rod which acts as a
hinge. Drive staples into this four
by-four, through which the rod is to
pass from one side of the box to the
other. Measure the inside of the box,
starting at the floor in front and up
ward and toward the irear end on an
angle of 45 degrees. Place the gate
into the box, laying it flat, and lift the
rear end until the gate stands with
the front resting on the floor. Pass
a half-inch iron rod through holes
bored in the sides of the box, and
through the staples. This places one
third of the gate in front and two
thirds behind the rod. See that the
gate is sufficiently tight to admit of
no water leaking along the sides.
Construct a wing dam from each
side of the entrance to the box and
carry it to sufficient height to raise
the water as high as the rear end of
the splash gate; say four feet.
The pressure of the water on the
one-third of the slanting gate holds it
at its normal position of 45 degrees.
The water rises until it is ready to
pour over the rear end of the gate
when its weight causes the gate to
tilt and drop to a horizontal position.
Blocks should be nailed inside the rear
of the box to catch this drop. The
gate drops back to close the entrance
to the box as soon as the water falls
suficiently low to tilt the gate back
toward its angular position.
It is well to place a support under
the middle of the hinge rod, to prevent
sagging.
