Larson and Halfinner commenced
sluicing In October and worked con
tinually with day and nighti shifts, op
erating even when the thermometer j
stood between 50 and 60 degrees be- ^
low_zero. They were able to do this ;
by returning the water used in the

that winter sluicing can be done suc
cessfully. This means that many

do not freeze, can be operated more
months of the year than has been
possible in the past when miners de-||
pended upon an early flow of water j
to do their sluicing." j (
