y _Alleghany is 32 miles. 4. er SIERRA COUNTY HAS GREAT POSSIBILITIES IN MINERAL WEALTH By C. A. Logan, District Mining Engineer, Division of Mines and Mining. The western half of Sierra county contains practically all of the county’s mines. While two railroads touch the eastern side of the county, they are of little use to the miner who relies on roads to Nevada City on the southwest and Blairsden and nearby points on the Western Pacific in Plumas county. Downieville, the county seat, is 48 miles from Nevada City by good highway, The placer mining region inthe northwest corner of the county is reached by road via Oroville or Marysville. Due to lack of railroads nearly all the’ mining done has been for gold. The placers along the branches of Yuba River were among ‘the richest in the state. They were fed by erosion of many miles of buried channels, the remaining parts of which drew attention as soon as the surface diggings were exhausted. While the drift. mines were being found in the “fifties’’, Sierra Buttes Mine at Sierra City was opened. It has been the largest gold producer in the county. Alleghany and Forest were well-known drift mining camps for decades before the richness of their quartz veins was realized. The drift mines in the vicinity of Howland Flat were opened between 1855 and 1868 and the camp reached its zenith of production between 1862 and 1866 when it shipped about $600,000 gold annually. This has been the riche t placer mining camp in the eceunty, the production of sume of the larger mines. having Lcen approximately as follows— Union Company, $1,500,000 from 1700 feet of channel; Hawkeye Company, $400,000, from 800 feet of channel; Pittsburg Company, $400,000 from 900 feet of channel; Mounmental Company, $300,000 from 1028 feet of channel; Empire Company, $800,000 from 1672 feet of channel; Down East Company $400,000 from 400 feet of channel. While it may be said that this is history; the placer mines of the county remain of present interest because both drift and hydraulic gravel deposits of value remain. But most of the production of gold in late years has come from the quartz mines of Alleghany district. Alleghany District ~~ Although the quartz claims now consolidated as the Plumbago group, and. the \Rainbow and other. mines had been productive irregularly and in a small way since the late fifties, the later history. of the camp as a quartz gold producer began when H. L. Johnson, listening to the tales of old miners who knew of & rich vein that had been crossed in the earlier placer workings, reopened the upper Tightner adit and began. producing high grade ore in 1907. Since then the Tightner, Plumbago and Sixteen to One, have been the largest producers. The Oriental, Gold Canvon, Kenton and Rainbow were also important and there were sevVeral hundred thousand dollars each. The town of Alleghany is near the southern side of an extensive area of andesite tuff and breccia, through which Kanaka Creek has cut a deep canyon exposing the older rocks. The Tightner and other vein outcrops were hidden beneath this andesite. Across Kanaka Creek to the south a smaller remnant of andesite extensions” of other vein outcrops including the Plumbago. The oldest of the bedrock series here so far as known are the Carboniferous which were originally shale and sand stone, but were later changed to slate, schist and quartzite. Mariposa clay slate was deposited on the carboniferous rocks after the latter had been compressed and folded. Later came great intrusions of igneous rock called gabbro, which has been altered to amphibolite schist. Then came intrusions of peridotite which formed dikes in the gabbro and amphibolite schist and in their contacts with the earlier rocks. The peridotite in turn has changed to serpentine. This rock and the secondary preductg from its later adternation are characteristic of this most important of the county’s mining districts, to such an extent that it has been termed the ‘great serpentine belt”. The more, productive mines of Alleghany have produced numerous large pockets of specimen ore. The bulk of the quartz in the large pricovers the rocks, mary veins is’aa a rule low or nearly barren in gold content and where it has been milled in any amount this has been done in the course of systematically cutting up and exploring the vein in the search for “high grare’, While “high vides ea grade”’ has been found in more or less well defined shoots, observable conditions seem to vor the opinion that the concentration of gold, and probably also its original deposition, was later than the period of forma‘tion of the primary veins. *‘Pockets”’ of from $50,000 upward have not been uncommon and the annual production of the district for a number of years hag ranged from over $500,000 to $1,500,000. While serpentine or its secéndary products (colored green by mariposite) are nearly always in evidence or nearby in the mines here, the veins are in the amphibolite schist or in the schist contacts with lenses of “slate’’ which is often graphitic schist. The serpentine belt trends north and’ a few prospects are now being’ developed near Downieville where geologic conditions are in certain respects similar ._to those just described. The gravels of the ancient chanels under’ the present. lava ridges north of Downieville were enriched. by erosion of this great serpentine belt. Sierra City District Sierra City mining district became noted in the’ early fifties with the development of Sierra Buttes Mine, which produced about $17,000,000. It was opened by a series of adits driven into the Sierra Buttes. The lowest of these adits, No. 9, was 12,000 feet long and gave a depth of 1800 feet on the dip of vein. This mine still appears to have interesting possibilities in its upper part. The Mountain Mine, well up on the east slope of the same mountains was a good producer and still holds some promise. The most important geologic formation in this district is the immense dike of quartz porphyry ( rhyolite porphyry) trending northwest from Sierra City into Plumas county. Most of the mines here occur in the carboniferous rocks or in the schists not far removed from the quartz porphyry. The district is one of milling ores_ principally. Though many lines and prospects offer promise, the district is getting the attention The most productive mine in the district in recent years has beer the Four Hills, near Spencer Lakes close to the Plumas county line. It has been an exception to the ,rule regarding milling ores, as its later output has been from ‘‘pockets’”’ mined, near the surface. One of these produced $65,000 and other large bunches were found. Hydraulic Mining The hydraulic mines of the North Yuba drainage have become of interest again since the building of the Bullards Bar dam, which prostorage for hydraulic mine not it deserves. ‘debris at three cents a yard. Depot Hill Mine, the oldest in the state, operates of the kind each year at ‘the west county line near Camptonbeing re-' ville. Indian Hill Mine is opened. Farther north, on the same great dead river, known as the La Porte-Port Wine-Brandy City-Camptonville channel are the following large bodies of gravel suitable for hydraulic mining: Brandy City, 6,600,000 to 9,000,000\cubie yards; Scales .and Mt. Pleasant, 30,000,000 cubic yards; Poverty Hill, 4,000,000 cubic yards. In the same drainage, large bodies of ‘hydraulic \gravel remain unworked at Howland Flat and Pine Grove, St. Louis, Greenwood, Grass Flat, Eureka North; Poker Flat, Chaparral Hill, and at the Pride Mine, the last named near Sierra City. Space does not permit mention of the numerous other mines and prospects in the county.

While it may be said that this is history; the placer mines of the county remain of present interest because both drift and hydraulic gravel deposits of value remain. But most of the production of gold in late years has come from the quartz mines of Alleghany district. Alleghany District ~~ Although the quartz claims now consolidated as the Plumbago group, and. the \Rainbow and other. mines had been productive irregularly and in a small way since the late fifties, the later history. of the camp as a quartz gold producer began when H.

While serpentine or its secéndary products (colored green by mariposite) are nearly always in evidence or nearby in the mines here, the veins are in the amphibolite schist or in the schist contacts with lenses of “slate’’ which is often graphitic schist. The serpentine belt trends north and’ a few prospects are now being’ developed near Downieville where geologic conditions are in certain respects similar ._to those just described. The gravels of the ancient chanels under’ the present. lava ridges north of Downieville were enriched. by erosion of this great serpentine belt. Sierra City District Sierra City mining district became noted in the’ early fifties with the development of Sierra Buttes Mine, which produced about $17,000,000. It was opened by a series of adits driven into the Sierra Buttes. The lowest of these adits, No. 9, was 12,000 feet long and gave a depth of 1800 feet on the dip of vein. This mine still appears to have interesting possibilities in its upper part. The Mountain Mine, well up on the east slope of the same mountains was a good producer and still holds some promise. The most important geologic formation in this district is the immense dike of quartz porphyry ( rhyolite porphyry) trending northwest from Sierra City into Plumas county. Most of the mines here occur in the carboniferous rocks or in the schists not far removed from the quartz porphyry. The district is one of milling ores_ principally. Though many lines and prospects offer promise, the district is getting the attention The most productive mine in the district in recent years has beer the Four Hills, near Spencer Lakes close to the Plumas county line. It has been an exception to the ,rule regarding milling ores, as its later output has been from ‘‘pockets’”’ mined, near the surface. One of these produced $65,000 and other large bunches were found. Hydraulic Mining The hydraulic mines of the North Yuba drainage have become of interest again since the building of the Bullards Bar dam, which prostorage for hydraulic mine not it deserves. ‘debris at three cents a yard. Depot Hill Mine, the oldest in the state, operates of the kind each year at ‘the west county line near Camptonbeing re-' ville. Indian Hill Mine is opened. Farther north, on the same great dead river, known as the La Porte-Port Wine-Brandy City-Camptonville channel are the following large bodies of gravel suitable for hydraulic mining: Brandy City, 6,600,000 to 9,000,000\cubie yards; Scales .and Mt. Pleasant, 30,000,000 cubic yards; Poverty Hill, 4,000,000 cubic yards. In the same drainage, large bodies of ‘hydraulic \gravel remain unworked at Howland Flat and Pine Grove, St. Louis, Greenwood, Grass Flat, Eureka North; Poker Flat, Chaparral Hill, and at the Pride Mine, the last named near Sierra City. Space does not permit mention of the numerous other mines and prospects in the county.
