Clark mined most of his life. In 1895 John found the Clark Placer Mine which he worked for twelve years. While working this mine the call for volunteers was issued in the Spanish-American War. John Clark walked eight miles from his mine to Yankee Hill, hired a buggie and was brought to Oroville where he took a train to San Frisco, the point of enlistment. He served during the war in Company G,8th Infantry. In 1910 he took up the study of law but after two years again resumed mining as the work he liked best.
