Book excerpt: Excerpt from Placer Mining for Gold in California The increase in the price of gold from in 1932 to in 1933 and to in 1934 made such stories seem even more plausible and helped further to stimulate the migration of men to the creeks, despite the unfortunate experiences related by most of those drifting back from the gold-bearing areas. Stories of those who succeeded in making a living and of the very few who made strikes continued to be magnified out of all proportion, both in passing from mouth to mouth and in the press, and brought new recruits to the streams as late as 1937.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gold Mines and Mining in California: A New Gold Era Dawning on the State; Progress and Improvements Made in the Business; Perfected Methods, Processes and Machinery As remarked in the prospectus issued by the publishers of this book, we have at length so perfected the business of gold mining in California. Both as regards the methods, machinery and processes in use, that material of very low grade, whether quartz or gravel, can be handled with profit. Latterly very few failures have occurred in this business; fewer, perhaps, than in any other of our leading industries, nor are many likely to occur hereafter. As new conducted, it is, in fact, fully as safe as farming. Manufacturing, or merchandising, paying, at the same time far better than any of these.

Download or read book Placer Gold Deposits of Nevada Classic Reprint written by Maureen G. Johnson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Placer Gold Deposits of Nevada Following the discovery of placers at Gold Canyon, placer discoveries in Nevada were broadly in three periods: the 1860's to 1880's, when many small deposits throughout the State were discovered and sporadically worked and several large placers were discovered and extensively worked; the short period between 1906 and 1910, when very rich placers were dis covered at Lynn, Battle Mountain, Manhattan, and Round Mountain; the early 1930's, when economic conditions created by the depression caused a renewed interest in placer mining, and many individuals sought, and a few discovered, new placer areas throughout the State. The location of the placers described in this report is shown on plate 1. Very little factual information can be found about the early periods of placer mining in Nevada. For many placers, the only reports available are hearsay estimates of production and speculations about the extent of the placer ground based on remnants of placer pits, shafts, and other workings. Many of the placers said to have had a high production between 1860 and 1890 were worked by Chinese miners who came to Nevada dur ing the building of the railroads and stayed on to work at mining and other activities. The Chinese were reputed to be secretive with their earnings from the placers and did not ship the gold to the mint by Wells Fargo or other shippers. They worked the gravels very thoroughly in areas where American miners did not wish to expend great labor to win the gold. The placers in the Sierra and Spring Valley districts, Pershing County, were worked by Chinese miners; they have a very high estimated production before 1900 and a comparatively low known production since that time.

Download or read book California Golden Treasures written by Charles Peters and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mining historian Kerby Jackson introduces us to a classic mining work in this important re-issue of "The Autobiography of Charles Peters: The Good Luck Days of Placer Mining in the 1850's." It was first published in 1915, and later reprinted under the title of "California Golden Treasures," but few copies remain available today. In 1915, Charles Peters was "the oldest pioneer living in California, who mined in ... the days of '49." He was born in Portugal in 1825, first visited California in 1846 as a merchant seaman and returned three years later to seek gold at Columbia, Jackson Creek, and Mokelumne Hill. "California Golden Treasures" is the memoir of his life through the 1850s, followed by a series of "Good Luck" stories, miscellaneous tales of the mining camps, a few of which seem to be credited to Peters, although most were actually the work of another author, drawn from many sources. Also included are many historical happenings, interesting incidents and illustrations of the old mining towns in the good luck era, the placer mining days of the '50s. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As such, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
