Of particular note is the hydraulic mining operations in the upper right hand corner. Nevada City had hydraulic mining in full swing at that time in Oregon and Manzanita Ravines. Inthe photo, two large hydraulic monitors were operating in Manzinita Cut. This is one of only a few views showing the Cut (upper right) as it appeared during operations. Two years later, all hydraulicing was ended by the "Sawyer Decision" which prohibited-the deposit in running streams of the debris from mining operations. TWO HISTORIC OFFICES, the Ott Assay Office and the South Yuba Canal Company, are shown right ‘in a current photo. Established in Nevada City in the year 1852, this assay office was maintained by father and son for more than a century, during which time it was a contributing factor in the development of gold mining operations upon which Nevada City was founded and maintained in prosperity for more than 100 years. ee Ahighly respected institution, the Ott Assay Office, for many years held a conspicuous place in the annals of the industry to which must be credited the initial spectacular growth and prosperity of Nevada City, Nevada County and the State of California. Continuously during more than a century this office was conducted, first by James J, Ott and then by his son, Emil, until the death of the latter in 1954 ended aregime which has had few counterparts in the eventful history of gold mining in California, To the rapidly increasing number of people who are here establishing homes or are contemplating doing so, the threatened demolition of such historic. landmarks may be of only passing interest. To the old timers and innummerable people of California who are concerned with the preservation of our.remaining historic monuments, relics of the Gold Rush days, the demolition of such historic buildings to make way for a freeway will be cause for sincere regrets. By many it will be seen as an act of vandalism. South Yuba Canal Company---The history of this organization, ultimately to form one of the constituent parts of the great Pacific Gas and Electric empire, is a story of the great development of hydraulic mining and hydraulic power in this state. The complete history will be reviewed inthe next issue--the first combined issue of the Nevada County Nugget and Citizen. The building housing both of these historic firms serves now as the offices of the combined Nugget andCitizen. The property is owned by the State of California, under Division of Highways operation, as right-of-way for the planned Grass Valley-Nevada City freeway.
