Waterman Silver Mine and Mill Era and Future Prospects
Dr J S Waterman of Brooklyn visits Miss Waterman at the old Barstow farm near the Waterman mine. The site includes an 1881 mill with ten stamps, once key to ore from the mine, which yielded high value silver during the 1880s before closing as silver prices dropped. The article recalls ore as high as $1000 per ton, the mine shaft depth at 600 feet, and suggests reopening under scientific management when prices improve. It contrasts Calico mines, notes past customs work, and urges voters to back gold and silver currency in the next election.
