Free Book - Gold Districts Of California

[Steve Herschbach]

Gold Districts of California by William B. Clark
1970 California Division of Mines and Geology, Bulletin 193

This is a relatively up-to-date and comprehensive guide to the gold deposits of California. Although a vast number of publications have been written on gold and gold mining in California, there was no single report or treatise on all of the known gold-bearing districts in the state. This bulletin addresses that issue. In this report the principal features of each gold-bearing district are described. The longer district descriptions contain sections on the location and extent, history, geology and character of the ore deposits, a list of mines, and a bibliography. Production figures are given whenever possible.

Thank Steve. I do a lot of my prospecting in libraries an museums. For hours spent it is probably more productive than my time on the ground.
