Malakoff Park Project Moving Forward
(Continued from Page 1)
stood and what were the prospects
for the future,
Hatch was, and still is, one of
the most enthusiastic supporters
of the Malakoff Park.
First, the $550,000 budget for
property acquisition in 1963 is
Still available and is being used
to cover costs of acquisition and
actual purchase of property within
the park area,
The proposed ‘park is officially
now part of the state park system
and officials are anxious to acquire enough property to guarantee the site and make enough land
available to start constructing
facilities,
At the present time the state
has just one piece of property, a
home in the town of North Bloom=field, but Hatch expects the land
logjam to break soon with acquisition of land owned by San Juan
Gold comprising about 50 per cent
of the total park area, and about
1, 000 acres under the jurisdiction
of the Bureau of Land Management,
There are no hard plans for
Malakoff yet because there is still
no real park land in existence.
But the state is looking forward
to this eventuality and the current
state budget contains a salary
item for three people for Malakoff.
Hatch explained that staff could
go to the park earlier than July
when the funds become available
but none of the three budgeted
positions will be filled until there
is enough land in state hands to
justify their existence on the land.
When that happens, and it could
be in a matter of weeks or months,
if some of the acquisition goes to
condemnation as it seems it will,
Beaches and Parks will put some
staff members on the park site,
probably in the one house now
owned by the state in the town of
North Bloomfield,
Whether there are one, two, or
three, the park officials will have
a number of duties. They will
be responsible for fire protection,

‘toSacramento of planning information,
There is nothing else in the
current proposed budget for
Malakoff except the three personnel items, but a Beaches and
Parks study of the proposed park
scheduled for completion Oct. 1,
willhelp determine if the Malakoff will be eligible for funds
under the $150 million state
beaches and parks bond issue approved by the voters last year.
But the money for acquisition
of enough land to make the park
a reality is available and acquisition is proceeding at its natural,
if slow, pace.
Again, although no hard plans
are available, Hatch is excited
about Malakoff. He said the
Malakoff, with its hydraulic
diggings, lake and nearby town,
is the greatest natural park he has
ever seen in the state and he has
put quite a few of them together
in California.
He becomes animated when he
talks of Malakoff. He talks of the
possibility of obtaining old hydraulic mining equipment, gunniting a portion of the Malakoff
cliffs and having a continuous
flow of water coming from an old
monitor to show the visitors how
the miners turned the earth upside
down in search of gold,
He talks of installation of water
and sanitary facilities, of con_to put something on,"
struction of picnic grounds, and
ane sites, exterior repair to the
buildings in North Bloomfield and
of much more,
There is no total figure yet
available forthe final completed
park, but Hatch estimated that
public demand will create the
need and in 20 years the state will
‘have $4-5 million invested. in
Malakoff. Much of this will be
expended for construction of initial water and sanitary facilities.
When can Nevada County residents and visitors drive to the
Malakoff and expect to find the
usual type of park facilities
awaiting them?
“As soon as we get enough land
Hatch said,
pip If you're angry, upset,
Emotions interfere with driving

What is important is ‘that money
