THE ARGONAUTS' HIGHWAY
Modern miners are to attempt to dredge the Kiver Pek, on the Yugo-slav-Rumanian border, on the bed of which gold has been collecting for more than 2000 years. • Up this river sailed Jason and his Argonauts from the Black Sea, and the Golden Fleece of their quest is no legend today, for the peasants of the Pek Eiver valley steep sheepskins in the water and after a few weeks pull out golden fleeces, the alluvial gold brought down from the mountains by the water having settled in the wool. It was here that Alexander found all tfco gold for his expedition in 328 B.C. Firms of many nations have made bids to supply the dredging machinery, and the operations are expected to be extensive.
