SPOKANE, WASH. July 19. (/P)
—R. W. Elsom and F. M. Handy,
mining engineers, have returned
from the Lardeau district* in B. C ,
where R. W. Elsom and Co-, of
Spokane have acquired 10 miles
of placer ground following Mr.
Handy’s favorable report.
“There are from 100,000,00 to
125,000,000 yards of dredgeable
gravels in this property along the
Lardeau river and I estimate that
the values run from 25 to 50 cents
per yard, in gold with some plat
inum,” said Mr. Handy. “Fifteen
cent yardage is profitable. These
large gravel beds are estimated ;
to aveerage from 50 to 60 feet
thick. They are so situated as j
to be workable by any sluicing
method but are ideal for dredg
ing- Modern dredges have devel
oped an efficiency of 12.000 to
15,000 yards per day and to a
depth of 84 feet below the water
line”
