Three Successive Fortunes In Hand
Once Thought Worth-
.ess.
About 12 years ago in curtain dis-
tricts In the Sacramento Valley or
California were vast areas or boulder
strewn river washes Rood only an
rattlesnake ranches or gopher farms.
Occasionally some hardy citizen
would try to entice a living from the
thin soil but he never grow rich from
bis labors. There were treasures
however UuJ'h the World's Work. In
these apparently worthless wastes.
These lands were the dumping
ground for the hydraulic mines of the
Rold seekers uml amid the rounded
cobblestones or lingo boulders wero
yet tiny grains of gold thut were too
line to bo Bucured by the cuiUomur)
milling methods. Tho problem of ex-
tracting them was finally solved h)
W. P. Hammond.
He' was then a small fruit grower
of Unite County and now Is nicknam
ed the "Dredger King." He devised
a gold dredge that successfully ex-
tracted the MOld. Dredges or this type
multiplied and Invaded new districts.
In their work they ploughed up
those river washes ror miles leaving
grent rtlloa of cobblestones lu their
wake.
Tile dredged over lands were con-
sidered as worthless us the litudu
were thought tn be before the gold
dredges began to operate. Hut the
same men tvIio made n ducccbs of the
dredging now turned their liUontlon
to converting the hard granite stones
Into commercial conerete. They
found that the rounded rocks wore
extraordinarily hard and durable
They saiil- "Why not crush them In
to road and ballast material?
The attempt rcsultod only in put-
ting tho jirdlnury rock crushing ma-
chinery out of btiBlness Then ex-
ports woro pul to work lo devise u
rook crushing plant Hint would do
Hie work. After repouted experiment
and (he expenditure or .largo sums of
money u plant wub erected of the har-
dest steel thut could crush tho cob-
ble fitoncu to any bIio desired.
This first plant was erected In tbo
midst of the dredged ur.euH left hy the
"gold ships." It enabled tho opera-
tors to haiidlfl their product with the
least possible expense and thus to
compet with the ordinary n.uurrlcd
stone of Info lor quality. But the
market for the new macadam wub In-
adequate. The. buying public was
skeptical. Tim railroad men said the

An experimental piece uf track was
ballasted with the m'w material It
soon proved to be Hip best track on
the whole Hue. Soon Hie Southern
I'aelfle was lining dredge ballast on
Its Hues from the Oregon bouhdar) to
Sail Eianeiseo Ha). The other Hteam
and electric railroads followed suit
und the demand Increased until anoth-
er plant was neoosBury.
Then new markets were sought.
Hulldlng contractors were Induced to
try It In (he construction of concrete
bridges and other structures. Soon
they were as enthusiastic over the
new material as the railroad men Hut
the dredge men were not yet watlaflcd
There were thousands or tteroB of cob-
blestones uniting (o be turned Into
macadam and a third plant was bring
erected to- bring (he dally output up

Some of (he county roadw lu (he
Saereiiieuto Vitlluy were not as re-
liable as they might (e Thoy were
either too dust)or too muddy After
a vigorous camimlgn for good roads in
the vicinity of one of the crushers
the dredge people finally succeeded
lu having the county build a stretch
or roadbed twenty miles long lcaillti:
from Sacramento fo Folsom
Soon the entire valley wan talking
about that roadbed. Its smooth and
durable surface Unit withstood the
lar-e motor traffic and the heavy team-
ing fo which It was subjected ThlB

grew Into a system that extend over
many miles of tbo vnlley.
