Work on the new shaft in the Buster
mine has now passed the 100-foot level,
and, it is learned, that the ore is even a
richer grade than that in the tunnel.
The ledge still fills the shaft (e feet)
but its full width will not be known
until the crosscut, which will be begun
as soon as a ten-foot sump is completed.
By the completion of the new shaft

How Gold Mining Industry Has De-
veloped in Half a Century.
THE PROCESSES USED
Union Of Appalachian and European
Talent in Present Methods.

Western metal mining began by
the application of the easiest of
metallurgical processes, that of
washing gold from gravel, says
Waldemar Lindgren in Chicago
Mining World. This first epoch
placer mining was initiated
when Marshall discovered the
yellow nuggets in his millrace at
Coloma, Eldorado county, Cali
fornia, early in 1848.
The first decade was pretty
fully occupied by gulch and river
mining. In the second decade
two important methods were de-
veloped: By hydraulic mining,
carried on in California on scale
never equaled elsewhere, whole
mountains were washed away and
gold to the amount of a few cents
per cubic yard saved with profit.
By drift mining. the gold stored
in the bedrock channels of the
old Tertiary rivers was extracted
by means of long tunnels under
meath gravel and lava cap, in
which quicksand and water often
were the enemies which had to
be CONQUERED. Both methods of
mining are still practiced, but
their glory began to wane toward
the end of the '7Os.
Up to 1852 the gold production
had been chiefly confined to Cali
fornia; but the following decade
witnessed the first attack on the
Cordilleran wilderness between
California and Oregon. This was
the time of Auburn and Canyon
City in Oregon; Florence. Eli
City, Warren, Orofino, and the
Boise Basin, in idaho; Adder
gulch, Confederate gulch anc
Last Chance, in Montana; anc
Clear Creek and California gulch
In Colorado. All of these placer
camps fiourished in tie early
'6Os, but excepting the Boise
Basin, most of them were short
lived; and were eventually turned
over to the patient Chinamal

important hydraulic enterprises. These
are principally operated on old channel
deposits carrying gravel banks of great
depth that in several instances lie high
on mountain sides and afford excellent
facilities for this method of operation in
the way of dump.
The heights Of the gravel banks, how
ever, above the present bed of New
some creek and its tributaries are such
as to involve considerable outlay for
bitches to supply the ground with hy-
draulic pressure.
In my report of 1904, gave review
of the geological phases of the Moose
Creek placers near the Elk City and
Sites stage road; since then, these
properties have been transferred to
eastern people and something like
twenty-five thousand dollars have been
expended in the improvement and equip
ment of the ground.
The twenty-one miles of ditch which
is used for conveying water to the claims
has been enlarged and the fumes along
its course torn out and rebuilt and
larger and more substantial structures
put in their places. These bitches have
been extended with the object of in
creasing the water supply. A new pipe
line has been added and it will afford a
supply for two giants for the coming
season.
Two new tunnels have been rur
through high rimrock that gives ac-
cess to the lower portions of the desosit
of this ancient channel. New camp
houses have been erected close to the
gravel pits, and several new claims ac
quired, greatly enlarging the territory
