Hey, Did you hear? GATA & Bill showed up "clean" & Gata is a "non-profit" now. Just took them a bit of time to get everything cleared & on the level. Bill's still paying far to much of his own travel for GATA,though I wish he wouldn't. & GATA is operating still on that shoe string though the string is, at last, getting a bit longer. Of the "pay to pan" operations, we have bunches here in Colorado. One of the biggest / best is just below the, now gaming, towns of Black Hawk & Central Cities. Along the same line a large public area where the local "panners club" and other play in the water and an "operating" small scale mining company - just a family deal currently. Seems as they have installed the new casinos bunches of "the heavy yellow metal" has been washed, blown, & dug loose, and is washed down to the "pay for pan" & public beach below. Nuggets up 1.4 oz(biggest I've heard of have been picked out with quite a few in the .30-.40 range. "Funny" how each time they do a great deal of work on retaining walls, & parking lots, & casinos are started more is pulled out below? As Colorado's only other town with "limited gambling" is in the Cripple Creek of legend, I would not be all that shocked if someone were to find the major Casino Corp.s which have dumped mega bucks into those towns are working the short side. rh

"And of course, at the rate gold is discarded in its plated form annually, some 17,000,000+ troy ounces in 1998 last I heard, it won't be too long before someone stakes a claim on a garbage dump and mines the gold out of there.<g>" FYI: Last week there was an announcement in the local news that someone was assaying the sludge in the bottom of the Ottawa River behind the Royal Canadian Mint to see if it was feasible to recover the gold from all the waste that has been dumped there for the last 90 years or so. Happy hunting, Karl S.
