H. Maluin, head of the Maluin Syn
dicate, operating mines on Atlin creek
in the Atlin district arrived here yes
terday with his wife and child on
their way to their home In Paris.
Speaking of their property, Mr. Mal
uin said:
"This is the second year of our
opening operations on Atlin creek,
having installed a complete hydraulic
plant and at the end of this season
we had reached within a few feet j
of bod rock. Our chief work this I
j ear was the advancing of the bed
rock sluice and it is almost complete.
We expect to be sluicing pay shortly
after opening up next season. A rea
sonable amount of gold was recovered
from the rim wherever it could be
worked, which we only did to sat
isfy ourselves of the gold bearing
character of the valley.
The water supply of the creek is
regulated by storage dams and by
that means we were piping on Oct.
20th. with about 1500 miners inches
o f water. Otherwise it would be out
of the question to mine on as large
A, scale.
There have been a large number of
plants installed in the Atlin district
during the past two years which in
sures a certain permancy to the camp
and fair profit with economical man
agement..
There is undoubtedly, an enormous
yardage of pay gravel hardly explored
that will eventually be hydraullcked
and will yield good profits if the
start is made in the right place and
the money spent in the right manner.
The output of gold this season will
greatly exceed the past year's output
and will probably be doubled next
year."
