H. Martin, F. J. Sloat, George W. Downey, C. E. Clinch, F. M. Miller, . . W. Hays, D. E. Morgan, and A. W. Hoge as directors. The object of the organization is to drive a drainage adit from near Jones bar, through the Nevada City district. It is extimated that the principal vein system of the district can be tapped at a distance of 15,000 ft. at the Champion mine to 1800 ft. at the Pittsburg. The plan contemplates the extension of the adit beyond this vein system to the Town Talk ridge, thence farther on into the Grass Valley district. The finding of new orebodies not exposed at the surface, it is believed, will be one of the advantages attained by driving this adit. The estimated cost of driving to the nearest producing mine is $175,000, and the income to be derived from Drainage service, ore haulage, and water-supply, it is estimated, will exceed this sum per year. The directors have chosen as president, Fred M. Miller; vice-president, G. W. Downey; secretary, G. M. Noyes; treasurer, D. E. Morgan. Those who stand as sponsors for the project are interested in mining in Nevada City District.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 705, 5-20-1911 “The Nevada County Deep Drainage Tunnel Co. has been formed to drive a drainage adit from the South Yuba river, near Jones bar, for three miles toward the Champion mine, where it will drain the district to a depth of 1050 ft.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 674, 5-13-1911 “The project of driving a deep adit from a site on Rush creek, near Jones bar, in Nevada City-Grass Valley district is being considered. A plan for accomplishing this was outlined by Geo. W. Downey a few years ago. A bore starting at the place proposed, would give a depth at several mines of about 1400 ft. and if it were driven as far as the Champion mine it would have a length of 11,000 ft. The possible discovery of new veins of ore is one of the strong incentives to carrying out the project.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 280, 218-1911 “Preliminary preparations for the starting of work on the big tunnel of the Nevada County Deep Drainage & Development Co. are under way. The road from the main thoroughfare to the tunnel site has been graded. George W. Downey will direct the work.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 789, 6-13-1908 Searls Corporation Documents #N92 Nevada County Electric Power Co.: “Nevada County Mining & Business Directory by Poingdestre, 1895, pages 190-191, 193 Nevada County Electric Power Co.’s Flume: “State Minerologist Report” #13, 1896, page 545’ Nevada County Gold Mining Co.: The Union mine at Bear mountain, has been bonded to D.
