many points in Moose Pass, no one
seems to have considered the old
time arastra as a means for recov
ering values and at the same time
offer something within the reach
of the poor man.
A 12-foot arastra should not cost
more than $250. it is simply a cir
cular shallow pit, inclosed with
boards or rock wall for that matter,
cemented with clay or mortar. This
pit is paved with hard, uncut stones.
This pavement is about a foot thick,
and beneath it is a bed of puddled
clay six inches deep. A vertical shaft
with arms extending outward to
the rim of the arastra carry the
grinding blocks. These blocks,
weighing from 500 to 1.000 pounds
are dragged around with the rev
olutions of the center shaft, being
attached to the cross arms by chain
or cable. The forward part of each
stone is slightly raised to allow the
ore to pass beneath it- A horse or
water power may be used.
An arastra 12 feet in diameter will
grind from 800 to 1300 pounds of ore
within 24 hours.
This oldest of nulling methods has
many advantages over more pre
tentious reduction plants in that it
will in many cases and on certain
ores save a larger proportion of the
values than the more modern ma
chinery. If the gold is rusty the
grinding action breaks the film
and gives the mercury a chance. If
the ore is ground to an impalpable
pulp it allows the gold to gain
free amalgamation.
In operating an arastra about
twice the amount of water as pulp
is used. In charging the arastra, the
ore should be crushed to the size of
a pigeon’s egg, before olacing in the
arastra. From 5 to 10 lbs. of mer
cury is then added and about a
half-pound added every other day.
About 50 pounds of ore neces
sary to charge the arastra, after
which a little waterjs added from
time to time. After about four or
five hours the ore will be thoroughly
pulverized, and water must be add
en until the pulp is about as thin as
cream. Mercury should now be add
ed in proportion of one and a half
ounces to each supposed ounce of
gold in the ore. Two more hours of
grinding is given, and then water
is added until the paste is quite
thin, the speed of the arastra being
slowed down to allow the amalgam
to sink to the bottom. After a half
hour the mud is run off thru a
drain, leaving the gold and amal
gam on the floor of the arastra. A
second charge is put in and the pro
cess repeated. It is not necessary to
clean up for 10 days and some
times a month.
To clean up the stones are taken
up and all sand and mud between
them washed carefully.
It is possible to charge with about
one ton according to the hardness
and nature of the ore, which can
soon be determined by the miner.
When the mercury is amalgamat
ed slightly with silver, copper, or
zink, it prevents it from breaking
into globules and running into the;
crevices, and makes amalgamation |
more rapid.
The amalgam is squeesed thru
chamois skin or clean muslin, and
the mercury recovered. The re
mainder is x’etorted and cast into
bricks.
Accepting the proverb about
crawling before walking, m any
miners may gain success with small
rich veins by building an arastra.

FiOIIS CITY OF (IK
Special to The Gateway
The sedate town of Kodiak, ly
ing quietly beneath its silent hills
and viewing the distant snow-cov
ered mountains, served as the base
of operations for the USS Gan
nett recently when her two sea
planes spent 10 days photographing
Kodiak Island entire, and also
Afognak and Shuyak Islands to the
northward.
The usual serenity of the Pacific
coast’s oldest settlement, as Kodiak
is wont to be designated, was of
necessity disturbed with the fetes
and dances given by the men of
the Gannet, encouraged and abett
ed by the men of the Coast Sur
vey ship Surveyor, in port at the
same time.
Augmentative to this was the
arrival on the SS Starr of about 15
Bering Sea fishermen with huge
seasonal earnings burgeoning out
of uneasy pockets.
A great time was enjoyed by all.
The cannery at Kodiak continues
in full production. A new ship
ment of cans is to be filled and
work for a few weeks more is in
sight.

FLOWER POTS USED
8T WIDOW TO GET.
REVENGE ENGINEER
LOS ANGELES, Aug., 15, —Lydia
E. Glass, widow, was hailed into
court here last week on a charge
of malicious mischief. She plead
guilty and said that she “threw
some flower pots right through the
window” of a home belonging to a
mining engineer who happened to
be her neighbor.
Mrs. Glass said that because she
had lost her wealth in mining in
vestments she decided to get some
revenge. She thought the mining'
engineer was to blame for the loss
of her fortune.
“The only thing I had left was
the flower pots and I thought he
might as well have those too.” So
she tossed them thru the engineer’s
window.
Mrs. Glass was given a sentence
of 30 days but the judge suspended
the sentence provided Mrs. Glass
would refrain from throwing any
thing else at the mining engineer.
