Plenty of credit for the arrival of the project at its present stage of . actual activity should be accorded to Congressman Enmegldbright, whio . has keut up an incessant fight to bring about appoval by the war department of the measures that have been under consideation for several years. Englebright happens to De. background, a mining engineer, nim. self, as well as a canny politician, and a legislator; so, in such a fight . as he and his allies have made, he has had “‘what it takes.’’ 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. servative total when viewed ~trom the long-haul angle in the light of Palmer’s figures. As a matter of fact, the cited potential gold total is quite in “fine with the very conse: j vative estimate of Walter W. Brad. ley, director of the California State, Division of Mines Even were it halv. 2d, however, it would obviously warrant measures looking to recovery of California’s vast, untapped placer gold deposits.
