Cocoa Matting.
For catching fine gold In sluice boxes, cocoa matting and burlap have given satisfaction. Where this is done it is a good idea to run the stream in a box over a grizzly, which will eliminate a large amount of the course material and leave only the finer sand and gravel to be handled by the lower box which catches the undersize of the grizzly. Often good results are so cured by arranging the burlap or matting on a broad inclined table, the material passing through the grizzly being evenly distributed to the head of the table or "undercurrent," as it 'is often called.
