Tbat there are treasures in the
deep no one doubts, but the fact
that the Catawba river is being
dredged by a corporation of the
State of New Jersey for v gold
makes us feel that the treasures
are nearer home. -The firm of
Brown & Nobles, which is in
corporated under the laws of the
State of New Jersey, have their
river and harbor boat " Klondike"
on the Catawba river, plying be
tween Sloan's Ferry and Rock
Island, a distance of three miles,
dredging for gold
The "Klondike" is fitted wjtb
a steam dredge ' which gouges
out great quantities ot sand from
the bottom of the river and de
posits it in a sluice boat where
the ore is separated from the
sand and then shipped for re
finement. -,'. .--.
? Several years ago the ; river
was dredged by another com
pany whose boat, the1 Old Klon
dike", was washed away . by the
freshet of five years ago. Since
that time until about two weeks
go gold operations on the river
were at a standstill. Tne new
"Klondike" is 30 bv 80 feet nd
has a 100 horse-power boiler for
its motive power. The sluice
boat is eight feet long and is
what is known as a self-dumper.
The ore, it is said, is worth $20
per ton and , the present exper
iment promises 'a - good paying
investment. Wood is now being
used as fuel in the boats, but as
soon as the new macadam road
is finished coal will be substi
tuted. ' .
