Historical Context
The California-Hawaiian Development Company was a mining entity incorporated under California law on September 27, 1911.
The company worked the Ralston Divide Mine, which was between Long Canyon and Middle Fork of the American River in Placer County, California. The company once claimed about 9,600 acres covering a length of 14 miles but only part of it was patented. The region was reached on the east by road past Soda Springs, and on the west by road and trail via Michigan Bluff or road via Georgetown and Barton's Cabin.
Prospecting began in 1908 and continued through the early 1920's.
The channel system underlying' the ridge had its outlet at the Pat Goggins hydraulic mine (bedrock elevation 3,475 ft) in the SE ¼ Sec. 22, T. 14 N., R. 13 E. The hydraulic pit was 500 feet long, 90 feet wide and had an average depth of 60 feet. An adit was run 755 feet from the pit with 750 feet of branch drifts.
The deposits connected downstream with the Bath channel and upstream with the gravel at Blacksmith Flat, Soda Springs and French Meadows.
The principal work of the company was as follows:
- No. 1 tunnel, with its portal in NE ¼ Sec. 5, T. 13 N., R. 12 E. This was 7 by 8 feet and was 4,700 feet long. About 2,500 feet of drifts, 1000 feet of raises and 15 diamond drill holes were run from this tunnel.
- No. 2 tunnel was over one mile south and a little west of No. 1 portal. It was 145 feet long with an incline of 153 feet and 280 feet of drifting from the foot of the incline.
- No. 3 tunnel was started near the center of NW ¼ Sec. 8, T. 13 N., R. 12 E. and was run nearly northeast. It was 8 by 8 feet in cross-section and over 1,600 feet long. It was connected by a raise of 14 feet with the drift from the bottom of the incline sunk from No. 2 tunnel.
The reference to Hawaii in the title comes from the fact that the company was financed by Hawaiian capital.
