Statesman Hon. Ben Wilson ID
down from Pioneer. He states that
in his 80 years experience in the
Basin no other such weather has
been known as that Of the past four
weeks. Heretofore it has been the
usual rule that, after two or three
days of hot weather, q cool spell
has followed.
The effect Of the heat has been
to exhaust the water and curtail
placer mining operations. Mr..
Wilson had expected to be running
two or three more nozzles at this
time than he is now able to keep in
operation. As an illustration OF
the effect upon the streams, be
states that, when he came here to
attend the Democratic convention
two weeks ago, his sawmills were
running full time with water to
spare. While he was here he was
advised the water was running
short at one of them, and when he
got back there was not more than
enough to run the mill half time.
