Champs d'Or Rigaud-Vaudreuil Limitee

Stock. Quebec, Montreal, Canada. Province of Quebec, Canada, Gold Mining, Text in French. Rare!! On the Ruisseau des Meules a miner took out $8000 in one season by open casting and drifting, with crude appliances. During August, 1911 a clean-up was made by the Champs d'Or Rigaud Vaudreuil Co. Ltd. from the tailings of these same diggings. About 7000 cu. yd. of the washed ground, subjected to hydraulicking, yielded 36 cents per cubic yard. The original ground, therefore, figures $1.50 per cubic yard. Formerly underground work was attempted even for depths of 20 ft., the ordinary sluice box and pick and shovel being the only appliances. Recently three satisfactory clean-ups have been made without use of block riffles.
