(AP) Government mining experts said to- day the depression's gold-rush was a flop. A group of works progress ad minis tratlon experts who checked up on the prospects for the Jobless finding gold along creeks of thho west report' ed that of all the Ideas for relieving unemployment, this was "the most romanticized and exaggerated." Although placer-mines In the richer areas still strike a few bonanzas, the experts said, the 28,000 small opera tors panning creek-water for gold av eraged 972 apiece In 1035. Auto itulns Romance. . Even the romance Is running thin because rattletrap cars have replaced the old prospector's burro, and the ptacer-mlners shake the gold out of the water by machinery (If at all) Instead of by hand. The placer mining still has Its good points. The experts commented: "Although the Income of the small gold miner Is low, the life has many features that lure him. Besides be ing free from rent and practically all other expenses except food; the min er works without supervision. His hours are his own and his vacations are tnken when wanted. The million-to-one chance against the miner ap parently does not deter him from dreaming that his next clean-up will produce a nugget." Average f-14.

For the 1,547.60 ounces they panned from the CTeeks, they received $54,160, or $217 each. Idaho streams yielded 8,134.07 fine ounces worth s a 84, 90 2 to the 1,314 miners In the field. The average was $217 per man. RECEIVE SENTENCE T Oeorge W.
