Fine antique original print depicts and describes historical gold-mining in the Klondike. "The washing process is accomplished by conveying water from the creek by means of a small wooden aqueduct, called a flume, trough a wooden trough called the sluice-box. The water passes through the sluice-box with sufficient force to disintegrate the gravel as it is thrown in, the gold sinking to the bottom."
