Important Collection! If you have ever driven from Reno to San Francisco, you passed right by this place. 1) American Scenery Stereoview #749 Hydraulic Gold Mining at Dutch Flat, California. The Dutch Flat district is located in north-central Placer County. Placer mining began here in 1849. 2) Outlet to Hydraulic Mine. Probably taken on contract for the mining company .3) Hydraulic Mining – Pine Top Claims. 4) Undercurrents- Outlet to Hydraulic Mine. The photos are remarkable because they include drains. Drains were cut at the bottom of the 100' faces of gravel. Also notice the long toms present all over the place in the drain cuts. (The long tom is a small sluice that uses less water than a regular sluice. It consists of a sloping trough 12 feet long, 15 to 20 inches wide at the upper end, flaring to 24 to 30 inches at the lower end.)
