Excerpt from Early Recollections of the Mines, and a Description of the Great Tulare ValleyA party of Mormons, who were' constructing a saw mill, (where Coloma now stands, ) under mr. Marshall, it is well known, first discovered that gold was to be had here for the trouble of picking it up. After they had procured 'a small quantity of the dust, they hastened to that old knight of pioneers, Capt. Sutter, for consultation. What the shining scales were they could not properly decide, but they thought it it was gold it looked like it, felt like it, and the stuff had no s'upicious smell.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
