Mountalu. Have B..n Moved, Vullcji
Dob Out aud the Whole Puc. of Nature
Changed In Parte of California by Small
Stream, of Palling Water.
One of the moat noteworthy feature.
In many portions of the gold region fa
the elaborate system of water supply for
the use of the hydraulic mines and the
tremendous changes which were the re
sult of the few years during which hy-
draulicking was at its height So great
have been these changes—hills washed
away, valleys filled up, others created—
that in many localities the entire land
scape has been altered.
The old proverb ascribing the power
to remove mountains to such ns had faith
only to the amonnt of a groin of mus
tard seed has never been exemplified,
but the hydraulic miners have afforded
the most ample demonstration of their
ability to move mountains in the search
of wealth. Lofty mountains have in
fact been brought low through no other
agency than tha pipe line, the monitor
and the sluice, and the tremendous pow
er of water never received such an exem
plification as in the history of tho hy
draulic mines of California
There are indeed so many remarkable
facts connected therewith that, were
they not abundantly substantiated, one
might well be pardoned for receiving
their relation with incredulity. One
might not believe that a stream of water
issuing from a nozzle or pipe siz inches
in diameter, and with no other force but
gravity behind it, wonld have much ef
fect at anyconsiderabledistance from the
aperture, yet such an appareutly insig
nificant stream, with a fall behind it of
875 feet, will carry away a solid boulder
weighing a ton or more at a distance of
fifty to 100 feet, while at a less distanco
it will toss such a bowlder about os a boy
wonld throw a pebble.
POWER or WATER.
The velocity and force of such a stream
as it issues from the nozzle of the mon
itor is something terrific. The column
of water is solid—so solid that if one
were to undertake to thrust any object
into it it wonld .make no more impres
sion than if it were iron instead of
liquid. If a crowbar or other heavy ob
ject bo thrust against the stream ft
wonld be snatched from the hand and
thrown to a great distance os if it were
a feather weight, while the man wiio
should firmly grasp an ax and attempt
to ent through the stream would under
go an experience that he would remem
ber for many a day.
If a man were to receive the full force
of snch a stream at a distanco of a conple
of hundred feet, even thongh the Impact
bo momentary, he would be killed as
quickly as thongh struck by a cannon
ball. Bo might escape being mangled,
but the breath wonld be most effectually
and suddenly expelled from his body.
At 400 feet from the nozzle n G-inSh
stream, with 875 feet fall, swung mo
mentarily against the trunk of a tree
will denude it in a second of the heaviest
bark os cleanly as if an ax had been
used. Whenever such a stream is turned
against a gravel bank it cuts and bur
rows into it in every direction, gouging
ont great caves, cansing thousands of
tons of earth to fell, which in turn is
qnickly disintegrated and washed into
tho sluices.
Bowlders so heavy that a man can
scarcely lift them are tossed about like
chaff, stumps and trunks of trees are
thrown to one side like straws, and the
work of destruction goes on at a pace
that is appalling. If one who has never
seen a monitor in operation nnder full
head could imagine the ordinary stream
from a fire hose magnified about a thou
sand times he wonld be able to form some
conception of its power.
TOE MONITOR IN ACTION.
The water is brought in open ditches
or flumes, sometimes from a great dis
tance, around mountain sides and across
valleys and ravines. When the vicinity
of the mine is reached a box is pnt in,
from which a pipe conducts the water te
the point where it is to be used. It is
tha distance between this box and the
level of the monitor that gives the press
ure. With from 800 to 450 feet fall the
done is tremendous.
At the monitor the wster is conducted
a still smaller pipe, with nozzle
one-third the size of the supply
the compression giving it still
forco. The monitor is construct-
like the ordinary hose nez-
but has a ball joint that permits it
swung in any direction. Almost
the weight of a finger will suffice to di
rect the movement
Easily as it is msnoged, however, the
monitor sometimes becomes uncontrol
lable, and when thia happens a scene of
destruction and even death ensues. The
pipe sways to and fro at its own volition,
and tho stream flies first in one direction
and then in nnother. If the miners
are not warned in time to get ont of
