i The unwntrrlng of lto long sub-
- merged ledges, the liberation of long
f. Imprisoned ore bodlcn and the restora-
jj tlon of Stockton to a productiveness
op , oven greater thnn that of patriarchal
SiJLw,, i . days, was nn. undertaking to which all
jj'T--- '" VMsewshWdlnfite(a-rri9OTr!rtiTlnvhll(f
the task Is yet unfinished, the pace at
jg which It Is progressing foretells Its
I ' consummation nt nn early day. It was
M with tho advent of the Klmberly
Jl Snyder, ciowd nml Hb exlinustlcfH re-
II Hourccs that the reclamation of the
M camp which had. at one period In Its
1 career, been at the head of the proccs
I slon, wns In reality begun, for while
mining tlteie hnd never been nbandoned.
nil attempts to tap the volume of
wealth that lungulrhed below the wnter
level had proved unprofitable. The
pieFence of enormous bodies of ore
within the channels of the Honcrlne
group, chnmiPls thnt had been followed
down to the level of a j-ea hubterra,
.mil of which many had knowledge,
tendered It the most seductive of the
defiant propisltlons In camp, and It
wns tli! over which the new ciowd
raised Its colors. That the piopeitles
1 werp yet a courcc of great wealth, not-
l withstanding the many millions that
hnd been derived from them, was vetl-
J fled after n campaign of pxplorntoty
Sj work below the horizon to which the
, wntcrs lose.
'- 8TAUTKD A TUNNEL.
- , The expei.o of pumping, however,
was enormouH, and to overcome' this
Sj - tho long tunnel through which the zone
wns to be unwatored was projected.
Meanwhile otheis had sought the long
neglected opportunities' of the old camp.
1 t the ilches of which had been bulled
bfiiimth tho waters, and when it wa
decided to tnp them fioin below not
one of tin- pioposltlons but pledged Its
i co-operation. In this eo-operntlon a
II most foimldnble undertaking was
M . lessened, anil with the nggregate
SB, , courage of nil behind It. the woik was
j inaugurated. Its lestlnatlon, 7000 feel
aft ' '. distant from Its portnl, the tunnel, un-
B ? ' dor tho direction of Superintendent
Ml . f" Itinldntz, line now paesed Its llrrl mlle-
" : " post, and Is Hdvnnclng steadily.
DltAINlNf! THE ZONE.
' - With this outlet for the water In
wIioku relt'iitlesft embrace the wealth of
the many big ipdgeH had been held for
j many years, the draining of the million
and lilack Dluirond has already been
v Hccompllshed, that of the llonerlne linn
" bogun, while the unwuterlng f the
yl,lfth Onlena King nnd ueighhorH oven irore
remote will follow. This accomplished,
the redemption of the old camp will
have been achieved, the pretence of
known ore bodies fnretolllng a future
that must eoinpaie favorably with the
most productive in the State.
Meanwhile the management of the
llonerlne, anticipating the needs of its
entire icsouices, the milling ores ns well
a the (lrU-class, Is equipping Itself
j with niennn of concentration, tho new
1 mill now rapidly nppioachlng comple-
tlon to be lendy for the reduction of
j ores e-rly In the yenr. The San Pedro
i railway lecognlzlng tho Impottnnce of
i tiiese undertakings and the permanency
1 of revenues that await it In the gieat
j niineral-beailng zone, has extended Itr
i spurs to a connection with the mill, as
J well a the nnln power plant and with
' other facilities for the economic hand-
' ling of tho pioduct, the output of which
slinll l lesumed In 1901, glmuld main
filn a steady Increuiie. With the un
watering or the stone nt Stockton, In
deed, It8 produotlon should soon In
niuilci to compare with that of the more
prominent enmrts.
I
COPPKK AT DEPTH.
While In cat Her days its output has
been confined to high-grade silver and
lead ores containing some gold, dlselo
unn bt ninth the water level have ic
vialed gteatly Innensed peiccntages In
copper nnd, though It has nt been
lien ontrnted, time aie not a few who
hae i-xpiessed the eonvletlon that ulti
mately the rid metnl-shall preponderate
theie as It c'oes at lllngham. Indeed,
the gnp between tho great camp of cop
per and Stockton Is easily spanned,
nnd If they aro not sisters theie is
f vet y thing to Indicate thnt they were
created by Influences thnt were Identi
cal. No matter what tho futuie may
develop or what ernnges shnll occur at
gieat depth, the piesent condition of
the camp entitles it to classification
airong the repieccntatlve camps of the
State. For Its reclamation tho old
camp and the commonwealth nre In
debted to none so much ns to the
Kimbcrly-Snyder syndicate, the ciowd
l allied by Cnpt. Duncan McVlchle in
his exploltntlon of the Galena King,
and that organized by Joeph DedeilcliH
In the development of the Illnck Dia
mond. Not cne. but all those along the
margins of the avenue out of which
the waters are now rushing, nre In
possession of ore, and with the waters
under subjection, the active extraction
of dividends shall follow.
SENATOR CLARK'S RONAN.A.
Under the magic of his touch and the
resoutce-s at his command no camp lias
undergone a tiansformatlon more com
plete thnn has Ophlr since the presence
theie of Seunlor W. A. Clink of Mon
tana. Exploited In desultory way foi
many years, notwithstanding Its heavy
Piociuctiou nt an eniiier period, the
scenes shifted with his acquisition of
the Ophlr Hill Con., which had been
operated in fair weather by the oilgl
ti.il owneis, nnd today stands out an
object as prominent ns any upon thnt
hnilzon. The success with which Its
low-grade but exliaustless "measure's"
of pyrltlc lion, containing silver and
lead, copper and gold, weie exploited,
wns an example thnt did not go un
heeded, and at this time the locality Is
experiencing a degree of activity with
more systematic endeavor, perhaps,
than nt any period in a quarter of a
century. While an enormous volume
of low-grade ore Is pouring from the
.010 bodies of the Ophlr Hill Into the
concentrator with which It has been
equipped under the ndminlstratlon of
E, W. Clink as manager, the Moutann
Consolidated, adjoining the Ophlr, Is
being energetically developed under the
inaiingement ot Patrick Rvan, one of
the most experienced mining men "In
the West, while the Ophlr Queen Is
opening up Its lcdgca with most satis
