CALIFORNIA'S MINERALS The value of the gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc produced in California in 1924, as estimated for the Department of Interior by J. M. Hill of the Geological Survey, amounted to $22639,000, an increase of $1,610,000 over the value for 1923. The increase is due entirely to the much greater production of copper, for the output of every other metal was less than in 1923. The gold produced in 1924 is estimated at 627,660 ounces, valued at $12,973,000, as compared with 647,210 ounces, valued at $13,379,013 in 1923. The production of gold by dredges apparently declined about 25 per cent as compared with 1923, when five more dredges were in operation than in 1924. Other forms of placer mining were also less productive than usual because of the severe drought in 1924. The deep mines, on the other hand, increased their output of gold, particularly the mines in Amador, Nevada and Sierra counties. The silver produced in 1924 is estimated at 3,338,000 fine ounces, valued at $2,225,000, compared with 3,569,443 ounces, valued at $2,918,743, in 1923. The decrease would have been larger but for the great increase in the mining of copper ore, which yields also some silver, for the output of silver ore at the California Rand was restructured for a time and the lead mines, which also produce silver, were not nearly so active as in 1923. The copper mines of the state, which were particularly active in 1924, produced $3,330,000 pounds of copper, valued at $6,889,000 as compared with 28,317,759 pounds, valued at $4,162,711, in 1923. The great increase was due largely to the Mammoth and Calaveras properties at Bangor, Hurleton, Forbestown and Yankee Hill. The Engels and Walker copper mines, in Plumas county, were large producers. The gold-quartz mines of the county were productive and development was resumed at Seneca. Placer mining was not active, though some gold was produced from Feather River and in the vicinity of La Porte. Near Forest and Alleghany, Sierra county, there was much activity and a number of quartz and drift mines were under development. Several properties were productive, notably the Sixteen to One, Oriental, Plumbago and Kate Hardy. At Downieville a number of quartz and drift mines were working, and near Sierra City the Young America, Bigelow and Monarch were reopened, as well as several placers. Hydraulic mines near Scales, Port Wine and Poverty Hill had water for only short runs early in the spring, and very little placer work was possible at Brandy City. In Nevada county the chief interest, as usual, was centered at Grass Valley. Several of the smaller mines that were under development in 1923 were producers in 1924. The North Star had a good year. The Empire enlarged its territory by acquiring the Sultana ground, to the south. The Idaho-Maryland bonded the Brunswick property. Several consolidations were reported in the vicinity of Town Talk and Nevada City. Drift mines near North Bloomfield were worked to some extent, but there was not much water for hydraulic work at You Bet. Near Washington several quartz properties were reopened, among them the Eagle Bird, Red Ledge and Twin Sisters. In the Mother Lode counties the principal producers were the Plymouth Central, Eureka, Argonaut company was producing development was continued mine, near San Andreas mine, not far from Hill and Sheep Range several drift mines development near Vallemne Hill. In Tuolumne Eagle-Shawmut county on a considerable scale and the Harriman were producers; and at Tuttletown, new cyanide plantation. Several quartz Big Oak Flat, Conflent Bar were under control Original mine at Cloosa county, conti The Princeton, at development and so forth. The development of at Jerseydale was on county made only a few interesting coarse prospectors new. In Mono county it diversified from the Moodle mine was developed was controlled Mines Company in Trent. In the Blindtinct not far from confined by the Reduction Coil silver ore was shipped and Tecopa, Estelle win lead-silver andertes were produced smaller ones shiny smelters at Salt Lake producing mine in county was the Californinc., near which development than during The copper mines of the state, which were particularly active in 1924, produced $3,330,000 pounds of copper, valued at $6,898,000 as compared with 28,317,759 pounds, valued at $4,162,711, in 1923. The great increase was due largely to the Mammoth and Calaveras copper companies, both of which were operated through the whole of 1924, after beginning production late in 1923. The Walker mine increased its output considerably, but the Engels mine was working at a slightly reduced rate during part of the year on account of development work. Copper was produced late in 1924 at the Bully Hill mines, which were reopened by the California Zinc Company, primarily as a source of zinc oxide. The production of lead in 1924 is estimated at 5,160,000 pounds, valued at $412,000, as compared with 9,649,680 pounds, valued at $668,478, in 1923. All the lead mines, which are in the southern part of the state, were working on short power, due to the severe drought. The output of the Tecopa and Darwin mines was much less than in 1923 and the Slate Range did not operate at all, but the Estelle, Carro Gordo and Santa Rosa increased operations and a few smaller operators entered the field. California again became a producer of zinc late in 1924 with the reopening of the Bully Hill mines, at Winthrop, Shasta county. The mines were reopened in October and smelting was begun in November. The zinc is recovered as zinc oxide and leaded zinc oxide for use as pigments. The zinc content of ore mined in 1924 is estimated at 2,380,000 pounds, valued at $149,000. No zinc was produced in California in 1923. Output Made by Counties and Districts In Siskiyou county lack of water prevented much hydraulic work, but small placer miners and pocket hunters were active on both Klamath and Salmon rivers. The Buzzard Hill, Independence and Advance (or Victory) quartz mines were productive. At the first two properties mills have been installed, and a 17-mile transmission line was completed to the Advance. The four dredges in Trinity county were producing. Low water allowed only short runs at the Lorenz, Red Hill, Nugget Bar, Paulsen, Union Hill, Several consolidations were reported in the vicinity of Town Talk and Nevada City. Drift mines near North Bloomfield were worked to some extent, but there was not much water for hydraulic work at You Bet. Near Washington several quartz properties were reopened, among them the Eagle Bird, Red Ledge and Twin Sisters. In the Mother Lode counties the principal producers were the Plymouth, Central, Eureka, Argonaut Kennedy and Moore mines, in Amador county;; the Carson Hill, in Calaveras county; the Original, in Marlposa county, and the Shawmut in Tuolumne county. In Placer county the Big Oak and Rising Sun quartz mines, near Colfax, were reopened Drift mines near Foresthill, Michigan Bluff and Iowa Hill were idle on account of low water. In Eldorade county the Hines-Gilbert, at Spanish Dry Diggings, was the largest operator. In Amador county sinking was progress at the Plymouth, Argonaut and Kennedy. The Plymouth was short of water for some weeks and had to curtail milling. The Kennedy and the Argonaut have been producing good ore regularly. The Moore mill was not operating to its full capacity during the summer, but after September began dropping all the stamps. The Central Eureka acquired additional ground by purchasing the "Hetty Green" mine, and the company is reported to have opened high-grade milling ore. The Marklee quartz mine, at Volcano, was reopened to the 500-foot level, but there was almost no water for hydraulic operations in the district. In Calaveras county the Carson Hill and Melones mines were active. The Calaveras Copper Com... prevented much hydraulic work on small placer miners and pocket hunters were active on both Klamath and Salmon rivers. The Buzzard Hill Independence and Advance (or Victory) quartz mines were productive. At the first two properties mills have been installed, and a 17-mile transmission line was completed to the Advance. The four dredges in Trinity county were producing. Low water allowed only short runs at the Lorenz, Red Hill, Nugget Bar, Paulsen, Union Hill, Steiners Flat and Big Bar hydraulic mines. The numerous small placer miners were not notably successful. The quartz mines in Trinity county were not active. In Shasta county very little placer work was done except by the two Gardella dredges on Clear Creek, near Redding, one of which was destroyed by fire near the end of November. Several small quartz mines at French Gulch were operated, and the Reid mine, at Old Diggings, was reopened, supplying fluxing ore to the Mammoth and Bully Hill smelters. The Mammoth smelter, at Kennett, was in operation throughout the year, and smelted much copper ore from the Keystone, Balaklala and Mammoth mines. The Mountain Copper Co. operated its Hornet pyrite mine, but its copper properties and smelter remained closed. The re-opening of the Bully Hill mine and zinc oxide plant, at Winthrop, in November and the acquisition of the Afterthought copper-zinc mine, at Ingot, by the same interests were of particular importance to Shasta county and the state. In Butte county the principal output was that made by the four gold dredges, one near Chico, and the others in the Oroville field. Some work was done in old channels near Magalia and Da Sabla and placer operations were resumed at Cherokee. Some interest was shown in quartz pany was producing all the year. Development was continued at the Ford mine, near San Andreas, the Rindge mine, not far from Mountain Ranch, and at properties near Mokelumne Hill and Sheep Ranch. There was almost no water for placer work, but several drift mines were under development near Vallecita and Mokelumne Hill. In Tuolumne county the Eagle-Shawmut counted operations on a considerable scale; the App mine and the Harriman, near Jamestown, were producers; and the Clo-Vindicator, at Tuttletown, after installing a new cyanide plant, continued production. Several quartz properties near Big Oak Flat, Confidence and Stevens Bar were under development. The Original mine at Clearinghouse, Marlposa county, continued production. The Princeton, at Bagby, was under development and some ore was milled. The development of the Little Wonder, at Jerseydale, was continued. Madera county made only a small output, but some interesting copper-zinc deposits were prospected near the Minarets. In Mono county some ore was produced from the Masonic mine. The Bodie mine was very quiet, and development was continued by the Mono Mines Company in the Patterson district. In the Blind Springs Hill district, not far from Benton, work was confirmed by the Camanche Milling and Reduction Company and a little silver ore was shipped. In Inyo county and Tecopa, Estelle, Santa Rosa, Darwin lead-silver and Cerro Gordo properties were productive, and several smaller ones shipped lead ore to smelters at Salt Lake City. The chief producing mine in San Bernardino county was the Calfoanna Rand Silver, Inc., near which there was less development than during 1923.
