HOW TO MAKE
A LONG TQM
Construct a trough 12 feet long \
from 15 to 20 inches wide at the j
upper end and 30 inches wide at
the lower end, and about 8 inches:
deep. The lower end of the box!
is cut at an angle of 45 degrees and!
is closed by means of a sheet of!
plate-iron or riddle perforated with |
one-half-inch holes. The riffle J
box is made 32 inches wide and 8 i
inches deep and 6 feet long. The;
lower end of the Long-Tom rests
upon the upper end of the riffle
box, the Tom having an elevation
of about one inch to the foot.
While one man shovels in the
gravels another rakes them in the
Tom allowing the fines to pass thru
the riddle and over the riffles,
where the gold is caught, or if very
fine, where quicksilver is placed to
capture the fines.
The water is led into the Tom by
a sluicebox or mouthpiece made to
nest the upper end of the Tom.

BETTER TIMES ARE COMING
Don’t be Discouraged!,
Don’t lose the will to win .... don’t join the pessimists who
see naught but disaster ahead—
During a previous depression, the government had to is
sue paper “Clearing House Certificates” as a substitute for
money. Conditions were just as bad, only we have forgotten.
Prosperity has always followed bad times—this is one of the
laws of business cycles.
Now is the time to substitute the word “Reconstruction” for
“depression.”
Don’t be discouraged. Lend a hand to reestablish confidence.
America will see this through and emerge victorious.
Better times are coming!
We pay 4 per cent interest compounded semi
