Through the skill of constructing engineers and operating employees the sphere of application has been extended to flats and banks beyond the possibilities of successful treatment in the ' boom ' days. A most important event in the history of the industry was the installation of a dredge in 1894 with a tailings-elevator for the disposal of the waste gravel after treatment. This enabled the dredges to exploit much deeper ground and banks high above the water-level. CHIEF MINERAL LOCALITIES 187 8....
