Steve,
Thanks for dragging Chris and Tom up the creek to visit. Nice to see you guys again
and finally meet Chris.
Good luck to you and Tom before he heads out.
Steve,
Enjoyed those photos ...thanks. I always wanted to get over there, but never made it past
the Nixon Fork area.
That dredge sure made some nice wetlands !!
Steve,
I've got a hard rock prospect that I am still in the prospecting stage on. So I have been looking at small crushers also and have been
in contact with Jason Gaber of Mt.Baker Mining & Metals. He has been designing some great small scale processing plants.

Dusty,
It's always cold here in the winter. Just a fact of life, you deal with it.
-60 coldest so far this winter.
Jack,
Thanks. So the 'mixer' is basically just a concentrator? No recovery
system involved ?
Cool thread... as an Alaskan boy this drywasher stuff is pretty amazing.
Can someone explain how that 'dry mixer' works ? Just looking at it I
would guess it's just a classifier .... but there must be more to it?
Condor,
Thanks. Haven't tried those yet.
I gave up on the Carhartt pants. The stiffness seemed to create holes and wear spots
sooner than about any other pants I've owned.
I've been getting the Bailey's Wild Ass double front jeans.

They have held up extremely well and are made in the USA. Not an import like the Duluth firehose pants.
Mike,
Those points above are the key.
I hired a good CPA/ tax person about 7-8 years ago. My only regret is I didn't do it 30 years ago !
It has been some of the best money I ever spent on mining.
Well, that and the Hitachi EX300 !
