appliances with at least a moderate amount of capital or its equivalent and such a system of working as an experience of twenty five years has taught the miners of the pacific slope siope to employ fortunately there ia Is an abundance of water in both of these streams with a good fall and in most places a rapid current spring creek will yield from boo to 1000 miners inches of bf water according to thes thAe essen easen and rapiel creek at least east twice that amount and while the valuable placer deposits as far as discovered are by no means rich or very extensive compared with those of

the black hills there are aro large gravel deposits in some places thirty feet in thickness often cemented by lime into hard bard conglomerate and r capping rapping the high hillson hill the jurassic
