Excerpt from A Review of Mining in California During 1919 In Amador County the most important setback to production has been the fire which broke out in the Argonaut on March 27 and also affected the Kennedy. The mill at the Argonaut lost about two months time. The South Eureka was closed early in 1918 because of impoverish ment of ore, increased costs and unwillingness of stockholders to spend more money at present for sinking and exploration. The old Eureka has so far made no production. The Central Eureka is now Operating at depths of from 3500 to 3700 feet, and have an ore body which shows considerable free gold. Here again persistence has won and the company reports show the mine in the best condition for over ten years: The full plant of forty stamps with a capacity of 5000 tons a month has recently resumed Operation, and operations for October show a net profit in spite of the fact that the closing of the South Eureka makes it necessary for the \central Eureka Company to pump the water from both mines. The ore in the new shoot is comparable in grade to that found at the Morgan mine, although of course geological conditions are different. Success at the Central Eureka is bound to have a good in uence on its neighbors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
