Book Description
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.

Book Description
Mining historian Kerby Jackson introduces us to a classic mining work in this important re-issue of "Gold Dredging in California." Unavailable since 1905, this publication was originally compiled by the California Bureau of Mines. A century and more ago, giant dredging machines dug in California's rivers and creeks in search of illusive golden riches. First appearing in the 1850's, gold dredges finally reached their peak of development in Siberia and New Zealand before becoming popular again in the United States. This book offers a unique historical perspective on the gold dredges that once operated in California. This book on California mining history is lavishly illustrated with dozens of rare historic photos gold dredges that once operated in California, as well as hard to locate plans on how these dredges were designed. 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.

Book Description
Excerpt from California Mines and Minerals The subject matter of this work is confined as far as possible to a plain statement of facts, regarding our great state and its mineral wealth. It has been a difficult and laborious task to gather all the data and statistics, as aside from a few counties, whose citizens were public spirited enough to look after their county interests, all matter has been prepared from the Secretary's office. In the early stages of the labor, much assistance was promised by members of the Association and others, in the form of special articles upon subjects of great interest to the industry, as well as reports upon various counties and their resources. As the work progressed, however, it was found that many substitute articles would be necessary, as promises make poor reading matter. The Association is indebted to the contributors, whose articles upon various subjects will be found highly interesting and instructive; to the advertisers, whose solid financial support has materially assisted in defraying the cost of publication; to Mr. J. O. Denny, whose able and conscientious services have been indispensable in the editorial work, and to the publishing house, for the extra care and attention given to the general make-up.
