WASHINGTON—The origin and
the natural distribution of the $300,
000,000 of gold that has been mined
from the Tertiary placer gravels of
the Sierra Nevada California, is the
subject of a report by Waldemar Lind
gren, which has just been published
by the United States Geological sur
vey. The natural cause of the steady
decrease in the gold production of Cal
ifornia, which up to the seventies of
the last century annually ran high in
to the millions until at present the
yearly output is less than $1,000,000
is explained in the report.
In the main the report is a detailed j
description of the entire area covered
including the gold placer gravels, but
Mr. Lindgren’s general account of the
tremendous earth forces that built up
the Sierra and of the processes that
forced the gold from its mother rock
and brought about its concentration in
prehistoric river channels forced alto
gether a most impressive description
of a continent building.
Looking backward through incon
ceivable vistas of time in which peri
| ods covering millions of years sup
plant the centuries by which we now
compute its passage, the geologist pic
tures the uplift of a new-born moun
tain range by upward forced great
bodies of molten granite. This uplift
was accompanied or closely followed
by the formation of veins and warns
of gold-bearing quartz and the re
sulting high land was then planed
down by the erosion caused by rain
fall and the action of streams of wa
ter.
Tracing the long course of this ear
ly story, the geologist now finds that
towards the end of what is known as
Tertiary time—a comparatively recent
geologic period—volcanic forces that
had long been quiescent vigorously re
asserted themselves. Flows of rhyo
lite, a volcanic rock, pouring from
many craters, filled valleys that were
covered with gold-bearing gravel,
deeply burying the gold and causing
the formation of new stream courses.
The geologic events thus outlined
long preceded the period of human
history- in which these metal deposits
were mined. In 1849 an army of gold i
seekers invaded the Sierras. They
worked first along the present streams
but gradually the metal was traced to
the old Tertiary river beds on the
summits of the ridges and to the
quartz veins, the primary source of
all the gold in the Sierra Nevada.
The total output of gold in Californ
ia is estimated at $1,200,000,000 to $1,
500,000,000, about one-fifth of which
has been derived from quartz veins,
$300,000,000 from the Tertiary grav
els and the remainder from the Quat
ernary deposits. The decline in pro
duction for the last 30 years has been
due to the prohibiten of hydraulic min
ing and the exhaustion of richer chan
nels suitable for drift mining.
