Hey there! I'm happy to help!

In the word hydraulic, you can see hydr-, which is part of the prefix hydro, which means water. That is a great way to remember what hydraulic mining is.

Hydraulic mining is when you use jets of water with tons of pressure to break down rocks when mining. This allowed for larger mining operations because the water did most of the work; the only labor the people had to do was deal with the water. They didn't have to take days picking at the rocks searching for stuff. This hydraulic mining allowed them to expose more minerals quicker because it broke down rocks so quickly.

Have a wonderful day! :D

How is John Lafitte connected to the Beale treasure?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The record of the Beale treasure story given in Ward's 1885 handout is a main story, and that the treasure in Bed ford Area, Virginia, was covered there by the amazing semi legitimate privateer, Jean Lafitte (Laffite).

I acknowledge that Lafitte had a treasure that he wished to hide.

There is no proof to recommend that Lafitte was keen on ensuring a treasure for his beneficiaries or for the beneficiaries of his men. Normally, he would wish to ensure such a treasure for himself and his family, however that could be taken care of without a requirement for a mind boggling plan to circulate the treasure to a named rundown of beneficiaries. Best case scenario, the treasure story could give a cover to clarify the treasure's birthplace, and hence give it authenticity.

Basically, quite a prepared story could be used as a way to "wash" Lafitte's amassed wealth.

There are even stories that the treasure was not deliberately hidden. A few records state that the treasure was ready one of Lafitte's vessels and sank to the sea floor after a wreck.

Explanation:

All through Lafitte's occasions as a bootlegger and privateer, he turned out to be exceptionally affluent. His treasure comprised of the cash he would get in return for his unfamiliar merchandise just as the treasures left on the vendor delivers that he caught.

It is as yet hazy why Lafitte needed to cover his treasure or even where he was most recently seen. A few antiquarians relate that Lafitte returned to an existence of wrongdoing, leaving the US no decision except for to seek after his capture. With the danger of detainment and the dread of being caught, Lafitte purportedly covered his treasure with the objective to by and by sidestep U.S. seizure and to return to it later.
