Extravagant stories are told about the wealth of gold sprinkled through out the Snake river country in Idaho. As a general thing, says the Helena Independent, the gold is very fine, the particles being of so light weight as to l»e elusive. Save when worked on a large scale it is difficult to make good wages in recovering the gold. Numer ous burs ah »ng the river would prove profitable could water be commanded for sluicing or hydraulicing. An ade quate supply is hard to obtain, on ac count of the slight ami gradual fall of the stream and the level character of the outlying lands. To overcome this lack of water as well as^insure suffi cient dumping ground, a big floating gold-saving dredge has been con structed and is now at work on the Idaho bank of the Snake river about ten miles above Payette. It is a stern-wheel flatboat propelled by steam. Substantially constructed, sixty-five feet long and twenty-two feet wide, it is equipped with a thirty- live hor.M* power marine engine and boiler and adapted in every way for navigating Idahos great waterway. With a slight alteration it could be transformed into a steam dredge and used to scoop up sand and gravel from the bottom of the stream. That has never been attempted. As in the past, operations are now confined to work ing bars out of the bed or channel of tin* river. The method pursued is to anchor alongside one of these gravel deposits and by the use of scrapers bring the material to be handled with in the reach of the gold-washing ma chinery with which the craft is rigged. The gravel is scooped up by buckets attached to an endless chain. There are forty-eight of these receptacles on a belt sixty feet in length, and each has a capacity of about twenty pounds of dirt, which is delivered into a hop per. This is also an agitator, and the process employed may be described as a steam rocker, with the exception that it has an end motion instead of one sidewise. The gold is caught on cop- I er plates with quicksilver. The tail ings are carried off in sluice boxes by th.* force of a stream of water of one hundred and fifty mineral inches, sup plied by a Chinapump, run by the en gine which drives all the other ma chinery. The gravel is worked so thoroughly* that no gold escapes in the tailings that arc dumped into the riv er. An average of one hundred tons of gravel are daily handled, and for this work three men are employed—an en gineer. one to work the scraper, and unother one who shovels the dirt into a pile so that the buckets can scoop up a full load. The bar now being worked coversan area of ten to fifteen acres. The gold is on top or close to the surface and will not pay’ to handle to a greater depth than one foot to eighteen inches. 'Phis shows a value of one and one-half to three cents a pan. A clean-up is math* every night, and the average of til * runs for the first three days was very' satisfactory to th<* owner of the craft. He says he expects to take out upward of one hundred dollars a day as long as he works, which will be un til cold weather sets in. When he has gone over the bar which now engages his attention he will tackle another. HE WARMED UP. The that Rich Returns of Gold from the j Bed of Snake River. i Chilly A well-known contractor walked into a bank in this city the other day to cash a check ior forty dollars, says the Washington Post. The paying teller looked at the check a few minutes, then counted out four hundred dollars, and handed it to the contractor, who. although he noticed the error, said not a word, but rolled up the bills and wadded them down into his pocket. This happened in the morning, and about two o’clock the same afternoon, before the officials of the bank had an opportunity to discover the error, the contractor walked into the office of the president of the bank. ‘*ls thi.s bank responsible for the errors of its clerks?” he asked the pres ident. “If it can be proved that any of our clerks have erred,” replied the presi dent, in a very chilly manner, “we will make the correction.” “Well, nobody saw this error made but myself,” continued the contractor, “and my word ought to he sufficient proof. I think.” “I am sorry, sir,” said the bank pres ident, “but we shall have to have ad ditional proof. We require this in order to protect ourselves: that is all.” "Very well, sir.” replied the con tractor. rising to leave. “I am sorry I cannot furnish what you demand. The error I referred to was the payment of four hundred dollars for a check that called, for only forty dollars: but. as no one saw me receive the extra three hundred and sixty dollars. 1 suppose you will not want to correct the mis take. Good day. sir.” “Hold on! Come back!” shouted the bank president, who by this time was very »wide-awake to the abyss to which he had been led. The matter was soon adjusted satis factorily. and now when any person reports an error at that bank the first question asked is: “In whose favor?" Brittany*« Dig Electric Light.
