Federal Mining Company Working 24 Hours Daily on Gold Mining Project.

The project, a hydraulic gold mining operation, is now (1927) running 3 shifts a day.  This is made possible by an electric plant recently installed.  The five-inch nozzles used have pressure allowing them to hurl rocks 120 feet away.

In 1929 D.L. Jones became superintendent of mining operations for Seneda, Inc. which purchased the mine.
