History
In 1919, W. J. Loring and Assoc. of Boston formed the Carson Hill Gold Mines Co., Inc.
with A. D. Stevenot as superintendent. The Morgan Hill and the Calaveras Mine and Mill
were purchased and a rich hanging ore wall was discovered at the Morgan mine. During the
next few years, additional properties were absorbed, including those of the Melones
Consolidated Mining Co., and the name of the company was changed to Carson Hill Gold
Mining Corporation. However, after encountering the rich ore body in the Morgan, the
other mines were neglected. Furthermore, in 1924, a policy of selective mining was
adopted which ultimately resulted in a decrease in the earnings and tonnage output. The
company operated the properties thus until 1926 when for lack of capital they were forced
to close.
In 1933, the Carson Hill Gold Mining Corporation was reorganized by a group of western
entreprenueurs led by A. O. Stewart and J. A. Burgess as mine superintendent. The
Melones, Calaveras, and Morgan Mines were put back into operation. The Carson Hill Gold
Mining Corp. continued operation until May 1942 when the mill was destroyed by fire.
