This work had been going on for some time and every morning Marshall would visit the works, and after the gates had been closed and the water ceased flowing, he would walk down the uncompleted mill-race to see what had been accomplished the night before and the day previous. CHAPTER VI. The Discovery of Gold. We are now approaching the most important event of California history, for on the occasion of which we are about to speak, Marshall had strolled to the lower end of the race where he stood for a moment, looking down along the bottom. At this juncture his eyes were attracted to a glittering substance which lay beneath the water in a crevice of the bedrock. He stooped and picked it up. It was of a yellow color, unlike anything he had ever seen before. It must be a mineral of some kind, he thought, and he tried to recall everything he had ever heard, or read about the various minerals and rocks. Then the thought came to him, "could it be gold" as he remembered reading, gold was yellow in color, heavy and malleable. He tried the latter test and then leisurely sought the company of his workmen and made known to them his find. This was on Wednesday, the 19th day of January, 1848, according to Marshall's own statement. The nugget weighed about six pennyweights (or $5.00). After passing a few joking remarks about his gold mine, he proceeded to the residence of Mrs. Weimer, the wife of his foreman, Peter L.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Souvenir of El Dorado County, California: With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers To our patrons and the public in general we here with present the Illustrated History of El Dorado County. The county in which the discovery of gold was made, which in consequence has given the im pulse to set in motion an emigration, entirely unknown before in history, and which kept on coming here for eighteen or twenty years, thus gathering within her borders a population ranging from twenty to forty thousand, including all grades and classes of people, but constituting a community of pride and power which made El Dorado to become the Empire Coun ty of the State. Not only on account of the great dis covery already mentioned that was made here, but also for the reason that she is one of the largest and richest counties in the mining district she was deservedly complimented with the name she bears. Though slumbering now since the completion of the Central Pacific Railroad across the Sierra Nevada, she will come to life and activity before long to re ward the energy and industry of her people and to place her in the rank which she always has deserved.
