The GOLD MINER SPIRAL WHEEL is similar to the Desert Fox - automatic panner - it takes the hassle out of panning by hand and concentrates your gold from black sands quickly and easily. NOTE: THIS SPIRAL WHEEL IS VERY POPULAR AND SUBJECT TO FREQUENT MFG BACK ORDER. DELAYS OF 1-2 WEEKS ARE COMMON. ORDER EARLY PLEASE. Everyone's popular game 'Gold Miner' is presented as 2 player version in our portal for its fans. This time, a friend of our miner will accompany to him while he's collecting gold, diamond and stones with his anchor. New miner who helps our veteran worker, tries to collect mine by using same techniques. Gold Miner Joe is a funny action game in which you have to explore the mine and collect as much gold as possible. The game includes four caves with twelve levels each, all more or less the same, with different levels of difficulty, and exciting bonus levels. It features a nice background music and cool graphics. There is a rectangular grid of gold mine. The grid has R rows and C columns. So it has R.C cells in total. The rows are numbered from 1 to R and the columns are numbered from 1 to C.The top most row has number 1, the row next to it has number 2 and so on. Similarly, the left most column has number 1, the column next to it has number 2 and so on. Each cell in the grid has a unique coordinate. The world’s second-biggest gold miner Barrick raised its third-quarter dividend by 13% compared to the previous quarter. It will pay $0.09 per share on December 15, which suggests an annualized.
