Just how far these figures go
toward showing Hoover's strength
or weakness among the .farmers
is a matter of dispute, but li s
a certainly much "so will be mnde
of them, one way or another, dur
ing lite few weeks still roniaiuuiK
before tho nnllonal convention.
Some Idea of the expense In
volved in tills placer operation
the largest ever attempted in this
imi'l nt thft rnimtrv mnv hi
gleaned from the fact that every
limber In this dredge has been
hand selected, Is of the llighe.it j
cIuhs f!r (Oregon firi without ai
knot, or blemish; nearly oil the
spikes and rivets and bolts have
been made to order, of spoclal
shape and dimensions, and alt the
steel plates and steel construc
tion of the dredge, have been
nindo on orlg'nnl specifications.
The biff derrick Is an example of
the resourcefulness and skill of the
Kerry management. This lower
ing structure, which can lift a
loaded truck as ens ly as a mnn
would lift a toothplclc. Is home
made. i was constructed on the
ground, the main mast and boom
being selected trees, cut from the
surrounding forest, each 100 feet
long and straight as a ship mast.
ln two or three months, the
dredge will be completed, a 1000-
ton ship of steel and tlmhor.' Then
tho creek which has been di
verted for construction work, will
be turned back, the dralnago
tlume below will be stopped up.
and what Is now n large yawn
ing pit w'll be a miniature lake
on the surface of which, thlj
"Spanish . galleon of the lloguis
Itlver Vitlloy" will bo floating,
and the voyage after hUtlco
treasure will begin. . i
The huge ladder at tho prow
of the ship, will support an end
less chain of 70 steel buckets,
and this ludder will poke its nose
into the top of tho bank, euting
Its way down and down until
bed rock is reached. Where the
bed. rock looks good, this ladder
run go on down into It breakini;
it away, and throwing the rocky
mass Into tho hopper, where
through the force of revolution
and water, the gold bearing rock
nnd gravel will ho sepiirate-.l
from the debris, thex former go
ing on the tale sluices, then the
gold finding tuble.x, while tho lat
ter will be dumpvd by a similar
ladder lo the rear from tho
stern of the ship.
This operation, as wo picture
It will bo something like tho op
eration of a wheat thresher. All
ex-farm hoys remember how they 1
threw n sheaf ot wheat into the
thresher, and how straw flew
out on one side, and golden ker
nels of wheat poured Into u sack
on thw other.
Well that will be tho way this
dredge will perforin, only Instead
of straw ami wheat It wilt be
debris ot rock and gravel on one
side, and goUl nugguts und Euld
dust on tile other.
So tho dredge will creep on.
dny by day and night by night
for ten years or more, going down
stream and up stream with ciiual
fecllity. This is made possible
by n system of lock dams, sim
ilar to thoao used in a canal
