DREDGING BY WATER POWER.
In the seventh annual report of the
minister of mines of New Zealand it is
stated that in the past few years dredg
ing for gold has been satisfactorily car
ried on in Otago with dredges run by
water instead of steam.
Where water is available at a sutli
eient elevation to provide motive power
for a dredge, ground that would not pay
expenses if the dredge were driven by
steam can be made to pay well. In
creased attention is now being given to
water-power dredges, says the report,
owing to the fact that a new and simple
method of conveying the water onto the
dredge has recently been adopted with
satisfaction. A number of proprietaries
whose properties are so situated as to
enable water to be brought onto the
•'round are now moving in the direction
of adapting their dredges to work by
water power and towards discarding the
steam plants which necessitate such a
large expenditure for coal and upkeep.
The new method of conveying power
lias been adopted on the Argyll dredge
at Waikaia, Otago. In this instance
the surface of the ground being worked
is not above the h vcl of the deck of the
dredge. The water from w hich the mo
tive power is derived is conveyed in an
oihoi race for a distance of 11 mil, - r.;i
point 70 chains • 1 i-1:1111 from tin- seetie
of operations and 170 feet hitzher than
tin* «l»«•*lu«*. From this point the water
is conveyed through ld-inch steel piping
to w ithin almut « chain- <t the dred_' \
where tile pipe is let lined in diameter to
0 inehes. and a swivel-joint eonneeted
to end of pip** line, To the other end

From flip Citizen, March ti.
I)avo England of Hot Springs, atid
Messrs. Larry anil Howard, of Fair
banks, came through here on their way
to the Chandlar by way of Hetties.
.loe Anieieb is hauling Donahue’s
wood with his new horse. Joe says that
it is the best horse in town. He says in
the near future he expects to get another
team.
It seems as if there is special weather
of the wrong kind provided for Mr.
Culp every time lie starts on a trip.
This time he gets it on his way to the
Chandlar, for which place he started a
few days ago.
The livery stables connected with the
Kxchange Hotel have their accommoda
tions taxed to the utmost.
Hilly Midgelv from Kampart stayed
two days at the Kxchange on his way
(lown to stake the whole Melozi district.
On arrival here he had one pencil, one
ax and one robe, and on leaving he had
also acquired one sleigh and one dog.
