NORTH BEACH DREDGE.
(To the Editor.) Sin,— Seeing that your dredging notes of November 25th asserts that the North Beach dredge is loosing a good deal °£_. gold, with the experience I have had"*' among black sand I am in a position to contradict your practical engineers' and miners' statement.
I have been following up the North Beach leads ever since the Beach was rushed, and was also in charge of the tables on the North Beach dredge for the first two months, and practically all the gold was caught on two feet of the top mats, and I can positively say that practically no gold was lost from the tables. Thanking you in anticipation for the above insertion. —I am, etc., Ben Huest, North Beach.
(To the Editor).
Sie, —Kindly allow me space in the columns of your valuable paper to make an emphatic denial to reports appearing from time to time in your dredging notes, etc., re saving gold on the North Beach dredge. I may state that 90 per cent of our gold is caught on the top mats, and practically nothing reaches the bottom mats.
S. C. Pache, Dredgemaster.
