Abstract
"Instead of following the usual plan of employing drills and blasting powder and $3 per day for shovelers, the colonel turned a small stream from its course and began washing away the mountain by hydraulic means. This singular course aroused some criticism at first, but the colonel knew what he was on about and has now reached the ledge he was hunting for. It measures three feet in width and although no assay has yet been made, the rock is plainly rich in silver, copper and lead."
