The firm of Morley and Wilkinson
working on Kstcr creek in the Fair
banks district has demonstrated the
practicability of winter sluicing asva
l>art of the Interior placer mining sys
tem that can be most profitably em
ployed, whenever there is a year
round source of water big enough to
fill a duck pond.
The system used is the one in com
mon use wherever water is not plen
tiful either winter or summer. The
little stream of live water available
is impounded in a reservoir where
losses from the original supply caused
by waste in the run through the
sluice line and through freezing, is
compensated by the fresh supply,
continually coming in. The exhausts
from the plant are shot into this
water raising the temperature suffi
ciently for sluicing purposes, when
it has been pumped through the box
'?3 it is picked up again at the end
(?f the line and returned.
The plant, all winter long, has
Maintained an average of about $:!000
a week.
Many operators have watched the
experiment with the keenest interest,
and having seen its certain possibili
ty will profit by the knowledge in
future years by employing it in their
own working. Practically tin- only
requirement is that .'..ere be available
only the smallest stream of contin
uous supply. The amount needed to
keep up the reservoir is trifling, once
it is filled. ? Tanana Tribune.
