Dredging gold in Oregon |
Description |
Dredging gold in Oregon . Six months of 1916 show ouput increased $107,000. Many old hydraulic properties near California border have been reported. In Oregon for the first six months of 1916, the bullion receipts of the mint and smelters at San Francisco show that the output of gold has increased $107,000 and that of silver 14,000 ounces in the first five months of 1916 over the output of the corresponding period in 1915. The increase in gold is due entirely to dredging operations. The Powder River Gold Dredging company, which in the first half of 1915 had but one dredge operating, near Sumpter, Baker county, has been working with two dredges during the first six months of 1916. With the exception of three deep mines, all in Baker county, this is the largest gold-mining enterprise in Oregon. |
