Excerpt from Mother Lode Gold Belt of California Of the numerous reports published upon the geology and mines of the Mother Lode, none have covered its entire length with sufficient detail. The first official report was that of Dr. John B. Trask, the first State Geologist, published in 1853. Others by the same author fol lowed in the next three years. They describe a few of the principal mines. The Second Geological Survey, headed by Professor J. D. Whitney, began work in 1861. His valuable contributions to science were halted in 1874 by refusal of the Legislature to allot more money for the survey, or to even approve printing results of the work of his staff; these books were later printed by Harvard University. From 1867 to 1876 the U. S. Commissioner of Mineral Statistics prepared reports of mine production. In 1880 the State Mining Bureau was established. From that time its reports have given a partial record of the State's mining industry, interrupted and restricted by lack or curtailment of funds and by changes in political policy. Notably, between 1896 and 1914, a period of great activity in the State's gold quartz and drift mining, only one small bulletin on quartz mines, that dealing with the Mother Lode, was published. During the period from 1880 to 1900 the U. S. Geological Survey mapped the principal gold mining regions of California in its geologic folios and covered the geology. In some of the annual reports. The field covered was so large, how ever, that very little detailed treatment of individual mines was given.

Excerpt from Down the Mother Lode The geologist and the historian agree as to its location and composition, but the old miners and' 'sojourners' 'of the vanished golden era give strangely different versions of it. Some of these are here set down, if not all for your enlightenment at least, I hope, for your entertainment. That is, after all, the principal aim of these tales of the old days. 1n California, that are gone for good. Mark Twain says in his preface to Roughing It that there is a great deal of information in his work, which he regrets very much but which really could not be helped, as information seems to stew out of me naturally, like the precious ottar of roses out of the otter! These stories make no such: particular claim! They are merely historical fragments of their everyday life, gathered from a passing generation before they shall be finally lost. Each one is based upon truth. Somewhere, sometime, some place, certain characters lived the scenes and actions here described. The title Mother Lode has been used in its broader sense, as exemplifying the source of all gold in California, and the life which arose from it.

Environmental Mineralogy and Bio-Geochemistry of Arsenic provides a comprehensive understanding of arsenic geochemistry in the near-surface environment. Topics covered include the mineralogy, thermodynamics, geochemistry, analysis, microbiology, and bioavailability of arsenic, with emphasis on implications for arsenic toxicity, geochemistry in natural ground waters, and mine-associated impacts and possible mitigation options. This volume is useful for those seeking to understand arsenic geochemistry and biological interactions in the near-surface environment, Clay Minerals does not use an online manuscript tracking/submission system. as well those working for mining companies, the chemicals industry, NGO’s or government bodies concerned with reducing the impact of arsenic on the environment.

California’s Calaveras County—made famous by Mark Twain and his celebrated Jumping Frog—is the focus of this comprehensive study of Mother Lode mining. Most histories of the California Mother Lode have focused on the mines around the American and Yuba Rivers. However, the “Southern Mines”—those centered around Calaveras County in the central Sierra—were also important in the development of California’s mineral wealth. Calaveras Gold offers a detailed and meticulously researched history of mining and its economic impact in this region from the first discoveries in the 1840s until the present. Mining in Calaveras County covered the full spectrum of technology from the earliest placer efforts through drift and hydraulic mining to advanced hard-rock industrial mining. Subsidiary industries such as agriculture, transportation, lumbering, and water supply, as well as a complex social and political structure, developed around the mines. The authors examine the roles of race, gender, and class in this frontier society; the generation and distribution of capital; and the impact of the mines on the development of political and cultural institutions. They also look at the impact of mining on the Native American population, the realities of day-to-day life in the mining camps, the development of agriculture and commerce, the occurrence of crime and violence, and the cosmopolitan nature of the population. Calaveras County mining continued well into the twentieth century, and the authors examine the ways that mining practices changed as the ores were depleted and how the communities evolved from mining camps into permanent towns with new economic foundations and directions. Mining is no longer the basis of Calaveras’s economy, but memories of the great days of the Mother Lode still attract tourists who bring a new form of wealth to the region.
