at many other camps Oh this coast. Ii is true the sur
tax' diggings aic prett) Well worked out and oulv the
deeper claims are left running, and the yield of gold is
not mar what it was. Hut there are' a great many
sm.di quanta ledges which have not been considered
large enoqgh to justify putting up milk and investing
the money ucccsan foi machinery, These will now he
worked by the Roheitson process. Three or four men

luooaterul working by this process, and these small
ledges will furnish employment for hundreds of men,
thus making up for the exhaustion of the placers. Be.
