MAKE LARGER
McKee Creek Hydraulic
I'lnnt to Be Enlarged
The hydraulic plants operating on
McKee creek in the Atlin district will
be enlarged and the methods will be
changed. The improvements, accord
ing to F. T. Hamshaw, of New York,
who is at the head of the companies,
will cost $190,000 and the work oo them
will begin with the opening of spring.
The improvements contemplated will
be for the purpose of iucreasing the ca
pacity of the plant which has been
handicapped this year because of the
failure of the water supply for & portion
of the season.
The plan is to utilize the waters of
Atlin lake. An electric tramway will
be installed from the point of opera
tions on the creek to the lake by means
of which the pay gravel will be trans
ported to a washing station, where it
will be worked through sluices. Clean
water will be pumped up from the lake
for washing purposes. The power for
the railway and the pump will be de
veloped with one of the monitors that
are njw being used for hydraulic pur
poses. This will leave sufficient power
to hydraulic off the top of the dirt.
The tramway will be 2} miles long at
the beginning a d made longer as the
work progresses.
This plan, it is believed, will add sis
weeks to the operating season on Mc
Kee creek
Mr. Hamshaw is very well pleased
with the result of the work of his com
panies on McKee creek this season.
While their season has been shorter
on account of the lack of water than it
was last year the dirt handled is much
richer. Last year the company took
oat $.">6,000 at an expense of $19,000.
Had it handled as much dirt this year
as it did last, Mr. Hamshaw * says
the production would be $260,000 on ac
count of the increased richness of the
dirt.
Alter they it shall have increased the
capacity of their plantMr.Hamshaw says
his companies, which it is proposed to
consolidate next year, will have suffi
cient ground to keep them operating
for 60 years.
Mr. Hamshaw left on the Princess
Ma, for New York.
