The gravels are the same throughout consisting of subangular cobbles of igneous ma- terial similar to that seen in the La Sal mountains to the east with a relatively small proportion of sandstone fragments. They range in size from one fourth of an inch to 2 1-2 feet, with an ayerage sizeof about 10 to 12 inches. Fragments of monzonite porphyr cut by quartz stringers are fairly abundant ana magnetite cobbles up to four or five inches in diameter are not at all rare. There seems to be a slight de[crease in size of the boulders at 'the western edge of the depos- ‘its, but itis not everywhere ‘same and is rather the doubtful. There is practically no stratification of these gravels except along the present drainage lines in reworked material. | The gold, said to be worth $19 'to $20 an ounce, occurs in small wires or flakes, and none of that ‘seen appeared to be much water worn. It is distributed through- ‘out the thickness of the deposits, 'which are said to be about the same grade from the surface to bedrock. Besides the gold that can be recovered by washing, it has been found that the "ribbon \rock'' (the manzonite porphyr cut by quartz stringers) contains \a fairly large portion of the gold value of the gravels. Some of the miners assert that for every ounce saved by sluicing 20 ounces are lost in the ribbon rock which goes over the dump. WATER IS NEEDED.
