Placer Gold Prospect in Uintah County Claim
Max Smith operates his Mitchell placer machine on a Uintah County claim. Hive men and two teams process about fifty yards of gravel daily as concentrates valued at $53 yield per day. Operator cost is $23 daily, leaving about $30 net. The Green River belt extends forty miles along Uintah County with a one mile wide channel old bed, now yielding similar daily returns. concentrates and black sand pass through quicksilver riffles and are sent to the Denver Mint, supporting the view that Green River placer gold could become a major producer.
