Can you think of anything else? JG: In hauling out the concentrates there was times in the spring when the road from the mill up this way and on out to Placerville was impassable because there was no gravel. It was a dirt road.

HH: About what would each sack weigh? JG: Oh, right around 90 to 100 pounds.
