Hydraulic Mining. Water was diverted into ditches and wooden flumes at high elevations, and gravity did the rest. Channeled through heavy iron pipes, the water exploded from a nozzle far below with a force of 5000 pounds. This giant hydraulic monitor looks like a …

02 Oct 2016 09:19 PM. There's a couple of spots I know of, mostly So. Calif. The San Gabriel mountains east fork river and Lytle creek, and Big Bear lake at the top of Gold mountain. There's still some patented Gold mining going on up there...But Hydro mining has been over since 1880 in California.
Here is what I understand about these hydraulic mines in particular: They were actively mined with sucess until farmers in the CA valley complained about the silt runoff from hydraulic mining. I think the mines came up with a few ways to help, but ultimately, the mining was made illegal by the state due to the damage it was causing farmlands.
Hydraulic Mining. Water was diverted into ditches and wooden flumes at high elevations, and gravity did the rest. Channeled through heavy iron pipes, the water exploded from a nozzle far below with a force of 5000 pounds. This giant hydraulic monitor looks like a cannon. No wonder.

• 1889, Hydraulic mining introduced – high pressure jets of water squirted from a heavy cast iron or brass nozzle (monitor), 6 were used in Cache Creek • 1911, mining in Cache Creek shut down in Colorado's first environmental lawsuit. Canon City and Pueblo
Campbell Creek diversion into the flume and water pipe carried by the suspension bridge to hydraulic mining activity near Salyer, CA, 1930 (?). Spring Valley Mine, Butte County, Oroville, hydraulic mining, photo shows entrance of 3,000′ tunnel that led to Sawmill Ravine, Dry Creek.
Hydraulic mining is a form of mining that uses high-pressure jets of water to dislodge rock material or move sediment. In the placer mining of gold or tin, the resulting water-sediment slurry is directed through sluice boxes to remove the gold. It is also used in mining kaolin and coal.. Hydraulic mining developed from ancient Roman techniques that used water to excavate soft underground deposits.
This photo, probably taken in the early 1910s, illustrates how thoroughly hydraulic mining reshaped the landscape of southwestern Oregon. Two massive monitors, also called giants, are shown blasting water into a placer deposit, washing the soil into flumes. The flumes had riffles that trapped the heavier valuable minerals while allowing the ...
Hydraulic mining was born in 1853 when a man named Edward Mattison increased the water pressure by adding a nozzle to the hose. Waste ore and gravel tailings were piled on creek banks or dumped into streams leading to the Yuba River. Malakoff monitor. The area came to be known as North Bloomfield.

The Smith Creek Hydraulic Co. Placer is a gold mine located in Valley county, Idaho at an elevation of 5,699 feet. About the MRDS Data: All mine locations were obtained from the USGS Mineral Resources Data System. The locations and other information in this database have not been verified for accuracy.
Our surface mines in Mill Creek use natural gas and electricity to produce whole grain, ground and fine ground silica through hydraulic mining. The reserves are part of the Oil Creek Formation in south central Oklahoma. Since acquiring the facility, we renovated and upgraded its production capabilities to enable it to produce multiple products ...
