There

this
by

without

for

which
would
indicate

Columbia
Development
Co.
Ltd.,
from
25
per
cent
of
gross
production,
paid
John
W.
Noland
an
agreed
price
of
$125,000
within
three
years
of
taking
a
six-year
lease
on
a
2,000
foot
length
of
the
channel
in
1910.
However,
due
to
wartime
man
power
scarcity
this
company
was
able
to
mine
only
1600
feet
of
the
channel,
and
their
lease
terminated.
From
a
total
of
68,
0,54
cubic
yards
of
gravel
mined,
this
company
recovered
37,791
ounces,
worth
$1,163,428,
an
ev-erage
of
$17.09
per
cubic
yard.
Average
value
per
ounce
wai
$30.78.
Tills
recovery
equalled
$725
per
lineal
foot
of
channel
mined.
Under
the
methoGs
then
followed,
operating
cost
was
between
$8
and
$9
per
cubic
yard.
It
is
estimated
that
by
mechanising
and
expanding
the
operation,
cost
could
be
cut
to
$5.50
per
