Download or read book Quicksilver Mining in Sonoma County written by Joe Pelanconi and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1870s, a quicksilver mining boom took hold of Sonoma County, California. Claims were staked, and a rowdy camp took shape in Pine Flat as farmers traded plows for picks and miners answered the siren call of cinnabar. In this compelling account, historian Joe Pelanconi relates the development of the twenty-mile Cinnabar Mining District. Pelanconi shares intriguing stories like those of the Donner Party survivor, Chinese laborers who worked the mines in danger of mercury poisoning and the two brothers who were leading citizens of the district and purported victims of murder. Delve into Sonoma County's heritage and a lost era when eccentrics and dreamers sought shining flasks of riches in the Mayacamas Mountains above today's wine country.

This book was released on 2013-09-15 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the development of California and the relationship between the built environments of the mercury-mining industry and the emerging ethnic identities and communities in California, Mercury and the Making of California brings mercury to its rightful place alongside gold and silver in their defining roles in the development of the American West. In this pioneering study, Andrew Johnston examines the history of California’s mercury-mining industry—and its defining role in the development of the American West. Mercury was crucial to refining gold and silver; therefore, its production and use were vital to creating and securing power and wealth in the west. The first industrialized mining in California, mercury mining had its own particular organization and structure shaped by powers first formed within the Spanish Empire, transformed by British imperial ambitions, and manipulated by groups made wealthy and powerful by controlling it. In addition, the landscapes of work and camp and the relations among the many groups—Mexicans, Chileans, Spanish, British, Irish, Cornish, American, and Chinese—throughout the industry’s history illustrate the complex history of race and ethnicity in the American West. Combining rich documentary sources with a close examination of the existing physical landscape, Andrew Johnston explores both the detail of everyday work and life in the mines and the larger economic and social structures in which mercury mining was enmeshed, revealing the significance of mercury mining to Western history.

Book Synopsis New Idria Quicksilver by : Ray Iddings
Download or read book New Idria Quicksilver written by Ray Iddings and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-08-13 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the term mercury belonged to the language of science, quicksilver was the term commonly used by capitalist and miners. This book is the complete history of the New Idria Quicksilver Mining District. New Idria was once a thriving community lost away on the eastern slope of Central California's Coast Range. Measured by total production, New Idria was the world's fourth largest quicksilver mine, and for a time the world's largest producer. Today it is a decrepit ghost town-population zero. This book tells in detail how an 1852 silver mining scam led to discovery of rich cinnabar deposits, and development of a valuable mining company that created enormous wealth for several California capitalist. The value of this mine attracted land fraud claims that created 38 years of legal turmoil and tainted many of Washington's aspiring politicians. This book describes the litigious struggle and the various companies owning this mine during it history. The company town of New Idria was an oasis of civility surrounded by California's badlands. The first prospectors into these rugged mountains, while contending with grizzly bears and dangerous outlaws, found protection in an association with the famous bandit Joaquin Murrieta. Doctors and engineers came as the community grew, and a school, postoffice, and churches were built. Roads and hotels were constructed, and families grew as miners changed the landscape by removing 20 million tons of rock from the mountain. The nearby towns of Picacho and Syncline came, and went. This region of once bustling industry, moved by thunderous dynamite and roaring bulldozers ... today lies silent. However, New Idria's story continues today, because the discovery of this cinnabar (the ore of mercury) in 1854 sparked many technological developments that forever changed ore processing worldwide. Although now a bygone era, New Idria left many important achievements upon the world stage. One example is the first successful seal-air rotary furnace that forever changed ore processing and later created a method for environmentally safe waste incineration, was developed at New Idria. Another example is development of tactical fire fighting methods using four-wheel drive vehicles, portable radios and mobile field support for combating wildfires. These firefighting techniques were first used when the U. S. Army saved New Idria from a wildfire during WWII when the fire threatened mercury production, a strategic ore needed to win the war. These are a few of the stories of New Idria's history told in this book. New Idria Quicksilver: History of the New Idria Mining District is the definitive and factual history this important piece of the California story.
