Alaska Gold Rush

Chapter 93 The Excellent Gold Digger
When the ore washing machine began to work rumblingly, Lesner used an excavator to dig up a large bucket of ore and poured it into the feed chute.

Chen Ruobai observed carefully, and said to Montgomery, "Go and adjust the water volume, and the flow rate should be slower."

Although it was a bit noisy, Montgomery heard this and immediately adjusted the water volume and flow rate.The ore sand is relatively fine, so naturally it cannot be washed with large water.

The drum began to roll, and the conveyor belt continuously transported the ore to the mine trough, and everything went smoothly.

Chen Ruobai seems to have nothing to worry about, as long as there is no mechanical failure at this time.At this time, you need to wait patiently, follow the normal procedure, and wait for the inspection results.

Abigail looked at the ore washing tank, a little worried, "Robert, the position of the spout is not right, it is not aligned."

"No problem, the section you mentioned is the earliest nozzle." Chen Ruobai said triumphantly, "My washing machine is a secret weapon, not to mention the drum washing machine, which is full of high-pressure nozzles. Now this The trough-type ore washing machine has three nozzles, from weak to strong, which can wash out the ore.”

Every gold digger has a different understanding of gold panning and ore washing, and it may also be due to the different conditions of ore sand and different economic conditions, and there are certain differences in ore washing machines.Many gold diggers will make some modifications to the washing machine, which is also common.

"You can check the grid." Chen Ruobai made an arrangement and said, "Once you see gold there, remember to tell me."

Such an arrangement made Abigail very satisfied. She also knew that there was very little gold left on the side of the grid, but that section was the first batch of gold washed out, which was the strongest signal.

After about an hour, although the water was still turbid, but the water flow was small, Abigail could clearly see a layer of fine golden sand in the diamond-shaped grid.

"Robert, I saw gold." Abigail happily reported the situation, "There is basically gold in the grid."

This is good news, even though he may have some judgment on how much he will gain, but Chen Ruobai still intends to check it out at this time.

Looking at the gold in the grid, even if it's just tiny sand, Chen Ruobai felt happy.This is the harvest, and there are bound to be more harvests in the future.

After three hours of working on the washing machine, everyone took a brief rest.On the one hand, I have to eat lunch, on the other hand, I need to collect gold, clean up the washing machine, and continue to work hard in the afternoon.

Collecting the ore on the stall, Chen Ruobai said to Abby, "You have found a job, come and clean up the tailings in the afternoon."

Abigail was very happy, "I like this job, I can definitely clean up all the ore in the bucket."

Chen Ruobai was not idle either, there were some ore deposits on the carpet and tailings, and there were still some leftovers that were worth cleaning.

But what Chen Ruobai cared most about was the collection port, where there was a thin layer of gold.Even if there is still a little impurity, but there are not many impurities here, and the 'purity' of the gold here is very high.

"I just need to clean up the gold here in the afternoon." Chen Ruobai proudly swept the gold in the collector into the box, "No one should bother me, this is my moment of happiness."

Everyone's enthusiasm is high, because gold has appeared, and it also meets some of your psychological expectations.

All this proves that Chen Ruobai's judgment is correct, he has found gold again, and this place is still a rich mine.

It is not difficult to make a lot of money at all. This time the ore washing is only the first official washing of this new mine, and it is even just some relatively low-quality ore sand.If you continue to work, you will definitely be able to harvest higher-quality gold here!
After a quick meal, everyone started to enter work mode, time is money, and now there is no way to be idle.

Chen Ruobai was sitting in the office, pouring the golden sand into the frying pan and roasting it on the small stove.After drying, use a magnet to remove some magazines. Now the gold in the pot is a high-quality good thing!

"11.3 ounces!" Chen Ruobai weighed happily, and then poured it into a small bottle, "If this trend continues, let alone 150 ounces, 160 or 170 will not be a problem!"

The smiling Chen Ruobai continued to work repeatedly, this is the joy of harvest, this time he made a lot of money!
Chen Ruobai is roasting gold happily, and the others are also working hard, everything is in order.The ore sand that was originally like a hill decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only some waste materials that began to accumulate.

There is no need to wait until the evening, the ore pile will be cleaned up, and the ore washing work will be successfully completed.Oil, also almost bottomed out.

Abigail came over as if offering a treasure, "Robert, I washed out a lot of gold!"

Nearly two ounces of gold, which is recovered from various tailings, it is great to have this result.

"Your job is coming again, and you still have a batch of tailings to wash, but this time you have help." Chen Ruobai pointed to the bucket that Dick brought, and said with a smile, "Go ahead and wash the ore manually, this is the last Once."

Abigail set off happily. Although the efficiency of manual washing is a bit low, as long as gold can be found, it is worth being happy.She likes this kind of work, every gold digger would like such a thing.

Chen Ruobai was not idle either, and continued to arrange, "Don't be idle either, Nathan, you and your cousin will deal with the water pipes. The water pumps will be taken back, and the water pipes that can be disassembled will also be taken back."

Montgomery and Dick started to get busy, and the work of washing the mines was over, but it didn't mean that this gold rush season was completely over. There was still a lot of finishing work to be done, and there was no time to enjoy the joy of the harvest.

"Ruen, pack our luggage." Chen Ruobai said, continuing to arrange, "We will try to leave the mine tomorrow, and now we need to collect and put everything else in place."

Don't be idle, everyone, Chen Ruobai will continue to be busy roasting gold, this is meticulous work.

After collecting the gold, Chen Ruobai calculated carefully, "177.2 ounces, if Abby can bring two more ounces, that would be great."

Looking at the gold in front of him, Chen Ruobai was also thinking deeply.

The market price of this batch of gold is about 25 U.S. dollars. If the camp construction, equipment costs, and mining fees are included at one time, it will be more than [-] U.S. dollars.Calculated in this way, Lesnar and the others won't get any money at all.

"Forget it, this time the mining cost should be shared." Chen Ruobai thought for a while, and finally made a decision, "The mine is here, share a part of it into next year's mining plan."

Great benevolent people will definitely not, the mining cost will still be deducted, but this time the deduction has not been completed in one go.Just think of it as an 'installment payment', and the cost will be apportioned when you come to the gold rush next year.

Abigail and Devi happily returned with almost two ounces of gold.

"I just thought about it. This time the mining cost will not be deducted in one go." Chen Ruobai smiled and said his thoughts, "We will deduct the mining rights, site construction, and equipment in three installments, so that everyone can share a little more money."

Devi joked, "You don't have a deduction. We get more money now, but we will get less money next year."

Chen Ruobai nodded and asked again, "Then do you choose to get more money this year or next year?"

"This year!" Devi said without hesitation, "We're going to buy a house, move, and buy a new car. I need a lot of money now, and we won't be able to find gold for half a year. I need to save more."

This is the reason, everyone's family background is very weak, so now they have more money in their hands, and they will be more confident.

"Tomorrow we will ship out the large machinery." Chen Ruobai stood up with a sad face, "We will not be able to continue working for at least five months. I hope that during this time I will not spend all the money I earned this year."

Devi said worriedly, "I doubt you will spend all your 100 million, you have too many ideas."

For 100 million US dollars, Chen Ruobai felt that he had already earned it.But this is not considered net income, and net income is not that high.

Chen Ruobai looked at Dewei and asked with a smile, "How much gold did we find this year?"

Devi said without any hesitation, "We dug four mines, and one of them was transferred after less than two weeks of work. Including this mine, we have scoured a total of [-] ounces of gold this year, which is a remarkable one." results!"

This is indeed a remarkable achievement, and many gold diggers can make a lot of money even if the harvest is halved.Even if the current price of gold is not as good as the previous two years, it has reached an income of nearly 200 million US dollars.

Chen Ruobai smiled and clapped Dewei heavily, "Well done, we are all developed!"

"We should have been panning for gold a long time ago!" Devi couldn't help but get excited, "I didn't expect that there would be a day when we could go on vacation, buy famous brands, and live in a high-end community!"

All of this is just the beginning, but all of this is indeed some small dreams that everyone can realize.These things are not even a dream, because they can already do this, so it is naturally not a dream!

Abigail smiled and said, "Gentlemen, this is not a happy time, we still have a lot of work to do. If you want to celebrate, let's talk about it after leaving the mine!"

That's right, now is indeed not the time to celebrate. Although the harvest is full, the finishing work of the gold rush season cannot be delayed.

After finishing all the work in the mine, everyone can celebrate in a happy mood.What should be done now is to stand on the last post and do all the most tedious finishing work.

There are many things to do, thinking about the things that need to be done well, Chen Ruobai can't help but have some headaches.

It's just a headache, there's nothing you can do. If you don't do these things well, you can't be regarded as a qualified gold digger.
