SILVER CAMP
TAKES ON LIFE
SAX RERXAUDIXO. Cal.. Sept. 1.
, (Uy Mail).—Calico, once bonanza sil
ver camp of California, is showing
signs of life since silver took its up
ward trend in the money marts of
America.
Calico was one of the famous camps
in the early eighties and is said by
mining men to have reached its zen
ith in 1885, when silver sold at $1.1*‘*
Then that metal began to g) lower,
and soon the camp fell into silence; ti
miners and those who made their gain
from the worker all drifted to other
camps, with the exception of a hand
ful of grizzled men whose faith in
their camp and their mines never wan
ed through long years of inactivity.
They have waited on at their camp, in
the hills near Daggett in this county.
Calico was so named because of a
peculiar rock formation in the sur
rounding hills, that gave a spotted ef
fect to the slopes, it was a low grade

producer, with vast ore bodies. The
“Silver King” and the “Garfield” were
its great mines, with the “Waterloo,”
an immense low-grade producer. Some
of the early fortunes of Californians
came from its shafts and tunnels, not
:;l.:y that of Governor Robert W.
Waterman.
Since the silver market has shown
improvement, engineeers and mining
men have visited the old camp. Thcv
are beginning to place modern machin
ery, and a new cyanide plant is now
han "ing 100 tons of tailing from the
old dumps each month. There are 2,
000,000 tons of tailings there, so the
mill has a fair run in sight. Mining
men say that with improved extrac
tion methods, with the substitution of
automobiles and light trucks for deliv
ery to a nearby railroad instead of
the old-time pack trains and with tin*
general advances in mining science,
the old ore bodies can be made to pay
fair returns.
The camp may “come back” as a
producer, they say, but it will never
1)0 what it was; the hotel in early
days was called the ‘Hyena House”
and the rooms were dug out of a big
rock on the hillside. The wildest li
cense prevailed, with games of chance
running day and night, and all the
amusements of the frontier supplied
in plenty. Modern laws, faster trans
portation. and better communication,
will help to build the camp for busi
ness, but will keep it within tin* law
of the books instead of that of the
frontier.
