THE GOLD RUSH

South of the Merced River the number of important mining locations declined greatly with only a few favorable sites along small streams near the San Joaquin River where it flows down from the Sierra Nevada in a westerly direction before turning north to run through California’s Central Valley. These sites paid those who worked them but there were no spectacular placer or quartz deposits found there that could be compared with those to the north. And just as it did at the Pit River in the Northern mines, the gold gave out in the south at the San Joaquin River

And so it was noted back then by so many miners that both the Northern and Southern mines, almost mirror images of one another, each standing at one end of the vast gold producing region of California, were each guarded by a towering snow-capped giant. Off to the north, overlooking the Feather and Yuba Rivers, stood the sky piercing Mount Shasta, visible for miles in all directions. While in the south, standing watch over the Tuolumne River and the Merced River, was the hulking mass of Mount Whitney. Two stalwart peaks that symbolize the might of the Sierra Nevada Mountains from which, in the minds of many miners of that day, the very gold they sought had washed down in the mighty rivers that flowed from the mountains above.
