Experiments to demon- strate that this can be done have been made near Oroville and they have been attended with a degree of success. The gold product of the state, which had fallen as low as $11, 212, 913 in 1889, and remained almost stationary for several years, began to increase after 1893, when it was a little over twelve millions. In 1895 the output reached $15, 334, 317, and an annual average of about that amount was maintained until 1901 when the product reached $16, 989, 044, and in the... year immediately preceding the fire it was close to twenty millions.
A great deal of the capital invested in the hydraulicking operations was sup- plied by San Franciscans, and their interests sometimes came in conflict with those which should have been considered paramount. The reports of engineers and hydrographic surveyors clearly established that the so called "slickens" or debris was responsible for shoaling the upper reaches of the bay, thus diminish- ing the tidal prison. The appreciation of this fact, and the recognition of the in- jury done to the overflowed area brought about a change of attitude, and the vari- ous civic bodies of the City arrayed themselves on the side of the protesting farmer.
