Examination of the Grand Channel of Auriferous Gravel in the Mining District of North Bloomfield, Nevada County, California by P. Huerne, Civil Engineer. The author describes all of the rich placer claims surrounding the North Bloomfield property including : the Souchet or Montreal Gravel Company, the Derbec, Ultimum, Last Chance Company and the Watt Blue Gravel Mining Company. The report goes on to describe the cost of working the claims and probable yields. William Ralston (of the California Bank and Bank Ring fame) later became involved with the North Bloomfield when it ran into seemingly insurmountable problems at the Malakoff Diggings with runoff. Huge dams and reservoirs were built by these companies for supplying water to giant water canons that were used in Hydraulic mining. The report covers an area from Timbuctoo to Forest Hill. Some age toning, otherwise Fine.
