Pavific for supplies.” A coxsiderable sum went to London, and in
orief no partofthe globe but felt
ths influence of California gold.
Lhe abundance created new uses,
and millions of dollars in value
went into watches and all sorts of
jewelry. It was a common sight
to see & man with enormous
chains, seals, buckles and the like,
all made of native gold. Taking
all the facts, it has been estimated
that one thousand million dollars
would not be t20 high a figure for
and including the year 1865. The
lowest estimate we have seen for
the year 1866 is $59, 000,000, and
the average annual yield from
1865-down to the Fresent date is
stuted at about :000,000. We
are perhaps warranted in giving
the entire gold product of California at $1,800,000,000.
From 1848 to 1855 inclusive ‘the
washings were mostly contined to
river bars. At the latter date
river washings had mostly ceased,
and thereafter the deep ancient
river beds, those remarkable deposits of gravel that eross at about
right angles the present river chat.nels down the western slope of
the Sierra, were the principal
sources of the gold supply. Hydraulie mining had been introduced by Edward E Matteson in
1852, and quartz mining the year
previous. Butthe results were
not great in the aggregate until
river mining, ceased, when both
the new modes were adopted and
relied on, and grand results realized. Quartz mining, however,
never produced more than onefifth the gold product of the State
for some years, «nd never more
than oné-third until the stoppage
of hydraulic mining, and the collapse of si.ver mining on the Comstock lode. drove theusands of
miners into developi ng gold bearing quartz lodes in the aurife :0us
belt of Califurnia. If we allow the
whole gold product uf the State up
to and including the year 1865. to
have been $400,000,000, and credit
the whole to river washing, although apart came from quartz
and part from four years hydraulic
mining, and $100,000,000 for the
yield of California mines since hydraulic mining has been checked,
we will have left $1,300,000,000,
to be credited to hydraulic and
quartz mining. It is, then, safe
to sav that a thousand millions of
dollars have been the result of hydraulic washings.
Aguinst this great sum is set off
the damage, according to the report of Wm. Ham Hall, of 43,546
acres of land, depreciated $2,597,000, on which was an annual loss
of taxes of $7,143. To this,” however, should be added some damage to the river navigation, and to
the town of Marysville and the
wear and tear of nerves of some
people living near the debouchement of the mining de!ritus.
Surely, there ought to be enough
in this bure statement of facts to
snow that the benefits of hydraulic
minin: arefar beyond the limits
of damages.
