Continue the one-hour drive to the Jack Brothers mine.

Today's work is to repair the washing machine according to the faults found yesterday.

Zhang Kun helped Ye Mu......

A huge machine, and the two of them lay on it like two ants on cheese. 8 p.m. ...... After May, in the summer, Fairbanks will get longer and longer, with 22 hours of daylight in late May.

Karn called, and the gravel gold layer had been dug up and was being sent to Orrickev for washing.

Hanging up the phone, Ye Mu suddenly lost interest in work, looked at the time, it was time to sleep: "Go, go back." ”

"Wait, welded this pillar. ”

Ye Mu drove the car over, helped pack up his things together, and went back.

This side is mostly a gravel road, and the car is running over and clicking, and Ye Mu turns on the stereo in the car......

'The vast end of the world is my love, and the flowers are blooming at the foot of the green hills' is ......sparsely populated, and I rarely see cars.

After a day's work, the two smoked cigarettes, roared to the music, and were unrestrained like crazy people.

Arriving at Orrickev, Karn and Bot were there, and the washing had begun.

"I bet two truckloads of ore can wash out three ounces of gold. ”

"Stop dreaming, with 2 ounces of gold, we'll make a fortune. ”

There is no one here to catch the problem of overweight in the truck that specializes in transporting ore, and two truckloads of ore should have more than 20 tons.

The dam was leveled out of the gravel, and Ye Mu drove a Ford F150, threw a beautiful drift, and after parking, Ye Mu jumped off the stairs from the car......

"In the afternoon we hand-washed the ore, which is almost certainly a very rare bonanza. Bot ran over and hugged Ye Mu and said in a loud voice.

The bonanza mentioned here is relatively speaking, in a situation like theirs, it is considered open-pit mining, and the mining cost is not high, and it is good to have 1 gram of gold in a ton of raw materials.

"So, after this year's mining season, I'm going to buy a vineyard winery in California. Ye Mu smiled: "How much ore have you washed?"

"Just getting started. ”

The principle of washing ore uses the specific gravity of gold, which is fifteen times that of water, and the specific gravity is much greater than that of most sand and gravel. Most of the gold panning equipment in Alaska is old, and as long as you take good care of the machines, you won't lose much of the gold you dig out.

Ore washing is a technical activity, the water washes away the sediment, and the large stones are transported away by the conveyor belt, leaving the gold ore sand with a large proportion to settle in the drainage tank. After two hours of washing out the ore, you can see the glittering little gold in the drainage tank, and there is a lot of gold sand on the sticky gold carpet......

The basic principle is that the slurry (generally the ore material with a particle size of less than 2cm) screened from the grading screen enters one or more chutes for beneficiation, controls the size of the water flow and the flow rate of the water, and the angle of the chute, when the ore material enters the chute, the water flow forms a wave whirlpool, and the light sand and mud water in the ore body are continuously discharged through hydraulic action, and the heavy ore material is left on the gold felt in the chute, and the gold felt is replaced for a few hours, and the heavy minerals on the gold felt are washed clean, the gold-bearing heavy ore material remained.

In an hour and a half, 23 tons of ore were washed...... The golden shining seen now can't make a final conclusion.

The remaining golden sand is to be cleaned again in a finer machine. I got a bucket of 'essence' out and cleaned it, and the visible gold fell down the drain into a bucket.

"This is a grand occasion that has never been seen before......" said Old Man Karn, who couldn't help but be excited.

Ye Mu clenched his fists, this should be a mining area richer than last year's 2 grams per ton of gold......

Wash out the gold, bake it dry, weigh it...... 3.1 oz. The gold content per tonne of ore is 3.77 grams, which is $30 of gold ore washed out of 1 yard.

In Alaska, a $7 gold mine for a yard won't bankrupt a gold digger, and $10 or $15 a yard can make a lot of money for the gold diggers throughout the gold rush season. $30 for 1 yard......

Karn and Bohn hugged each other excitedly, almost kissing mouth-to-mouth.

The two were excited for a while and hugged Ye Mu: "Man, finding you to be a partner is the wisest decision we have ever made in our lives." ”

Ye Mu was held hard by the two guys and couldn't breathe: "Hey, you want to kill me and inherit my ant Huabei." ”

Zhang Kun watched from the side, hehe, silly music, took the small bottle with gold, and his eyes were straight.

This is gold, this is gold...... A little smaller, almost 20,000 yuan in China. This is the result of the trial digging......

The gold was collected by Ye Mu, and the group returned to the mining area, and the sky gradually darkened.

Kahn and Bot gathered the staff together and told them the results of the mine washing, and asked everyone to cheer up and strive for the mine to be washed as soon as possible.

The mining area of Good Luck Valley is very large, and the mining area that has been explored is enough for everyone to be busy until mid-August or September. Now this big team, 19 people, each of whom has a shareholding. The more gold you dig up, the more dividends you get......

In the evening, a bonfire was lit in the camp, the tables were visited, and each went back to cook and eat together.

There were whites, blacks, Indians, a native Eskimo and two Chinese, Yemu. There are not many people, but they speak several languages, and they all communicate in English......

After dinner, Bot proposes to sing.

He and Karn went back to get their guitars and sang a folk song from the American West, which Ye Mu understood about mountains, rivers, and lovers, and the theme was cheerful.

The Indian went to the Gaina, took the recorder out, and played a song "The Last of the Mohicans," and the desolate music sounded, and the nine white men sitting around felt that the whole person was not good.

Bot looked like a rough person, scolding people at every turn, with a hot temper, and he forced out two drops of horse urine.

Guy blew a song, and when it ended, he laughed.

Except for Ye Mu and the two new members, the others came to the two teams, Karn and Bot had a good relationship, and the two teams walked around in private and were very familiar people.

"Bastard, I swear I'll never propose singing again. Bot frustratedly threw the guitar to Hagi.

The Last of the Mohicans is too heavy.

Ye Mu didn't know what to sing......

Working as a miner in this remote part of Alaska, there is a lot of activity during the holidays. Hunting, fishing, or going to the entertainment venues of Fairbanks to find women......

During work time, there are very few things to entertain, and it is common for everyone to get together and sing. Ye Mu learned the guitar here, but what to play. The songs that are suitable for the guitar are nothing more than love and love, and then nostalgia for youth...... pulled Zhang Kun to sing a song "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years......

The high-pitched singing told the fierceness of the ambition, but these guys couldn't understand a word.

Play for a while and end the entertainment. Ye Mu stopped Karn and Bot and discussed the matter, "I think there should be a chef to take care of the cooking, what do you think?"

"No problem, I agree. Karn agreed, "And the work arrangement." Our team of 19 people must plan their work well in order to operate effectively...... Ye, you are responsible for repairing the machine, and Zhang Kun is your assistant. Bot is responsible for the construction, mining part. I'm in charge of washing the mines, and I'm also able to repair the equipment...... How?"

Assign their respective jobs to the most efficient excavation of underground gold.
