(Continued from Paw One}
that Wayne built himself a j
stamp mill, doing the work:
practically all himself; that he j
actually put rock from the Son
ny Fox mine thru it and has
a small brick of gold to show
for it. Out of his vast experience
as gained this past season he
plans a bigger and better mill
next summer and expects to
have two bricks to show for it.
He explained briefly that he
made a base of two by fours
and had a 10-inch water wheel
with six half-condensed-milk
cans on the rim to furnish the
power. He had damraen up a
small streamlet running down
hill near the mine and built a
flume from the mill pond to
his water wheel. A cam was
fixed on the wheel which in
motion tipped a walking beam
which raised his two-pound
stamp. The ore which he
crushed to the size of peas was
fed to the stamp from a hop
per by an eccentric rod to the
wheel shaft. His plate was cop
per eight by twelve inches lin
ed or coated with ‘‘quick” and
| his pulp went thru a 40-incli
i screen. This stamp fell 120
| times a minute.
“I put four pounds of ore thru
| and you can bet it was the
stuff because I picked it my
self. and there’s the cleanup.”
and proudly he displayed a but
ton of gold about as big as a
small thimble. “There’s over
$2.00 worth of gold in that from
four pounds of ore. I’ll say
that’s going some.”
How to retort his amalgam af
ter the cleanup was somewhat
of a problem, but somebody tipp
ed him off to a new one.
“I took a big potato and cut
it square in half and dug out
a hole in one half. Then I put
a pan on the forge and heated
it. Placing the ball of amalgam
in the hole in the potato, I
slapped it down on the hot
I plate and there I had my re
| tort. The heat drove the “quick”
| into the meat of the spud and
| gold was left in the button.
After the potato cooled all you
had to do wTas beat the potato
down on the cold pan and there
was your mercury again.”
So there you have it; the
story of a bright, intelligent lad
■ of 12, who instead of spending
! his time in aimless kid pursuits
like most boyys of his age,
chose to be a mill man and
wrest Nature’s treasure from
her bosom. Out in the hills,
Wayne is never idle for when
he is not tinkering with his re
duction plant he is going over
his lessons and his reading
along a course carefully laid
out for him. He is also figuring
I out a concentrating table for
his next season’s work. Instead
of dime novels he reads Popular
Mechanics.
He was born in a mining
state—Grand Junction, Colora
do,—but for eight years he has
lived in various places in Alas
ka, most of the time at or near
mining operations, its dollars
I t0 doughnuts he’ll be a he
miner when he grows up.

GETTING UNDER WAY
While miners and road build
ers and others are folding their
blankets and pulling up stakes,
George Lindsay, mink farmer
and lumber mill man of Moose
Pass is just getting ready for
some real work. Mr. Lindsay is
in Seward on business after
having put up some new mink
pens. He has a number of ties
to cut for the Alaska Railroad
and some lumber for the Bureau
of Public Roads and lumber for
general disposal which will keep
his crew of four men going for
some time.
