A very clear conception of the depressing and distressing recent problems that have confronted the hydaulic mining industry in California
Nevada City
mining engineer, in “the Mining
ton so well covered those phases of
the situation in his article that they
will not be discussed here.
In November of 1934 the project
was ably discussed in an article in
the Mining and industrial News
(San Francisco) by Leroy A. Pajnier, chairman of the hydraulic committee of the Gold Mining <Association of America, San Francisco consulting engineer, and for 20 years
mining engineer for the federal government. The magazine is the official publication for that association and also for the Mining Association of California. In his terse summary of the advantages that would
accrue to the state of California and
to the mining west at large, Palmer
tabulated these reasons why the federal government should get behind
the plan:
1 -U. S. War Department has all
technical data on proposed hydraulic
dam sites.
2 Are self-liquidating projects
that would produce nearly $3,000,000 yearly.
3 Would increase tax rolls of the
various counties.
4 Employment would be greatly
increased.
5 (Many old towns would be revived. :
6° Bring to life an industry that
once had $100,000,000 invested.
7 Open a large field for machinery and supplies and-stimulate all
avenues of trade.
8 Would give greater and better
control of the state’s water supply.
9 Operations would continue over
scores of years.
10 Increase the purchasing power in the state by many millions of
dollars a year.
It will be noted that Englebright’s
cited $600,000,000 ‘potential gold
production, which it is éstimated will
be created through resumption of Sierra Nevada hydraulicking, isa eon.

fact, the cited potential gold total is
