Water Power with High Pressures and Wrought-Iron Water Pipe
For the purpose of supplying the placer mines in California with water, many ditches were built on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, taking their source high up in the mountains, and delivering the water on the tops of the foot-hill ridges, at elevations from 1000 to 3000 feet above the great valley of California, formed by the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. In many cases the mines for which these aqueducts were constructed have been exhansted or abandoned, and their water is now largely used for power for quartz mining and milling, and for other purposes.
