Hydraulic mining Wikipedia

Hydraulic mining was used extensively in the Central Otago Gold Rush that took place in the 1860s in the South Island of New Zealand, where it was also known as sluicing . Starting in the 1870s, hydraulic mining became a mainstay of alluvial tin mining on the Malay Peninsula.

Hydraulic mining techniques, California, 1870s U.S

Hydraulic mining was a variation on ground sluicing where the water delivered to the site would be shot through a nozzle at high pressure onto the face of the cliff, thereby washing away tons of boulders, gravel, dirt, and, in the hopes of the miners, ounces of gold.

Gold Rush: 1848–1860: Mining Techniques Picture This

The change in mining techniques is really the story of the evolution of the Gold Rush from an individual to a corporate phenomenon. A few years after 1849, when hydraulic jets were the main mode of mining, an individual could no longer go to California to "strike it rich." Large corporations essentially ruled the Gold Rush and literally had the

Hydraulic Mining: In 1853, By the 1860's most of the mines were barely hanging on, but two inventions changed the fortunes of the mining companies: the steam-powered drill, and dynamite.

Hydraulic mining Wikipedia

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

California Gold Production Summary Western Mining History

Lode mining of gold became important in the 1860's, and between 1884 and 1918 gold-quartz veins were the major source of California's gold production. Beginning in 1898 placer mining was rejuvenated when huge bucket dredges were introduced to work the auriferous gravels of the rivers flowing westward from the Sierra Nevada.
