Young's most earnest workers, stated today that the former governor -is giving consideration to a gold mining plan that will serve a five fold purpose: Assist in the unemployment movement, bring complete development to California gold fields, give. proper development to _ the state’s mining department, provide an impetus for the manufacture and sale of equipment, and assist in the national program of adding to our Auburn, gold reserve. \ STATE HAS MINERAL LAND At the present time the _ stateowns a great deal of mineral land in addition to available federal mineral holdings. There are many other properties that can be easily leased by the state. At the present time only the very best properties are being worked, due -tto lack of available capital and because operators have the opportun. ity.of choosing from many. There are therefore thousands of properties in which private capital at this time is not.interested. The best of these should be under operation, in fact, every property, which will pay expenses should receive attention and the state can be made the operator. MINING DIVISION. CURTAILED The State has a well developed Division of Mines, under the able management of Walter W. Bradley, state minerologist. He has four branch offices but his assistant engineers are so handicapped from lack. of funds that their work is greatly curtailed. Working under Bradley are many mining engineers now out ofwork could soon arrive at properties {suitable for the state’s operation. Their reports would be the “stop” or. “go” sign on the properties. A favorable report would mean. immeork for large crews of men nd as development went forward ae installation of proper equipment. New roads would: be built; trucking contracts awarded, supplies bought ,and new cities built to take the place ‘of the mining towns of ’49, “e In case an extra good property was developed, the state could sell lor lease it to private operators on a good royalty basis and take on the development of more __ prospects, transacting the whole plan so that there would be no loss to the state. Some time ago the state lent its! credit to the extent of $100,000 to. the State Compensation Insurance Fund. Since then the Fund return-j ed the loan and now is a big going business with nearly $9,000,000 in its surplus and reserve. The state, can go into mining in the same way and with proper engineering and Management not lose a dime. 2 CREW BEGINS WORK ON PRESCOTT HILL MINE Rehabilitation work on the old Prescott Hill mine, a part of the famous Sultana group on Osborn Hill, which is east of the Empire mine, started Wednesday with-10 men employed.
