Description
English:

Filed in Alaska--Mining--Sluicing

A sluice is a long troughlike box set on a slope of about 1:20, through which placer gravel is carried by a stream of water. The sand and gravel are carried away, while most of the gold and other heavy minerals are caught in riffles or a blanket on the floor.
