Hittel on Gold Mines and Mining
Chief Industry.-Mining is the chief industry of California. It employs more men and pays larger average wages than any other branch of physical labor. Although it has been gradually decreasing in the amount of its production, in the profits to the individuals engaged in it, and in its relative importance in the business of the state, it is yet and will long continue to be the largest source of our wealth, and the basis to support the other kinds of occupation. Metals obtained.-Our mines now wrought are of gold, silver, quicksilver, copper and coal. Ores of tin, lead, and antimony in large veins, beds of sulphur, alum and asphaltum; lakes of borax and springs of sulphate of magnesia, are also found in the state, but they are not wrought at the present time, though they will probably all become valuable in a few years.

Six Months in the Gold Mines
In 1847, elements of the United States Army 7th Regiment of New York Volunteers arrived in San Francisco Bay. The troops were sent around Cape Horn to complete the subjugation of California in the Mexican War. The detachment was disbanded in Los Angeles in 1848. News of the discovery of gold in Sutter's mill had spread like wildfire and the discharged soldiers eagerly turned to gold mining. This book provides one of the earliest and most vivid accounts of the excitement, the hardships, and the wards of placer mining.
