GRAVEL AND PLACER MINING IN ALASKA. 
[BULL. 263. 
TABLE OF STREAM VOLUMES. 
Table 6, below, showing stream volumes in miner's inches, repre- 
sents an attempt to combine at least approximate data relating to the 
amount of water which flows in northern auriferous streams during 
the open season. The few gagings that were made during the course 
of the trip were by Price current meter. It was found that variations 
from day to day in all parts of the country were exceedingly frequent, 
the volume on one day being sometimes from one-third to one-half 
that of the succeeding da} r after rain. Where a range between two 
amounts is given, the smaller figure may be taken as representing the 
most frequent condition.
