Seven years ago. II. A. Corlis« took
bold of the proposition, acquiring tbe
propvtty ho’ding the water right and a
large amount of ground in the Dry Dig
gings territory. He now ha» about 600
acres of ground all of which will pay for
piping. During the year« he has been
at work there, exclusive of the preeent
season, he has cleaned up a boot $26.000.
Tbit vear, bi« profit« can not fail of
being far in excess of those of any
previous year, owing to the long con
tinued flow of water, which has enabled
him to move a« much grouud already
as he had in several seasons past. The
ground te has thus far worked ban
averaged about 20 cents to the cubic
yard, and has paid about 1100 per day
for piping, three men working with a
nozzle of 2l9 inches.
The placer ground of this district is
exception«* *n that, while most placer
mines operate on "channels" the whole
area here is auriferous, and pavs with a
hydraulic almost any where that water
can be brought on it. and where the
ground can be worked to advantage.
The ground is gold bearing from the
river to the top of tbe mountain, a
tiistance of a mile and a half. The gold
is all local, rough, and there is ao
evidence of wash or boulders. A large
amount of the ground is comparatively
free of rocks of any Fort and those w hich
are found are mountain or slide rucks.
Thia gives a wonderful advantage over
the ordinary placer mine where the
disposition of the boulder« is nearly
always one of the chief obstruction« to
rapid work.

an abundant water supply available for

not at all imp.-uible, but, on the con

in which tbe deaired result might be
oblaitied.
Several years ago, there wa« a move
ment to bring tbe water» of Evans creek
to this ground by a ditch of 25 mile« in
length, but before the plans were fully
consummated, tbe water right was
appropriated by other parties. The
High Line ditch, now under considera
tion if extended here, would cover by
far the larger portion of thia ground and
furnish an abundance of waler for this
property »• well a« for a large area of
of ground of a similar nature, lying
along tbo slopes ot tlie hills between
here and Gold Hill. Another method of
procur ng water would be by a pumping
plant ol suttiiient capacity, by which
water in any quantity might be elevated
from the river. With a good water
supply, there is ground enough here to
keep a large and elaborate hydraulic
plant in operation for 1(K) years.
