NEVADA COUNTY PIONEERS LAUDED BY DEAN PROBERT GRASS VALLEY, Mar. 18—‘‘The search. for gold dates back to the elimmering dawn-of humat-enlight= enment, and the story of its influence upon man is the history of human _ progress,” stated Professor Frank H. Probert, dean of the College of Mining at the University of California, in an address at the auditorium of the Grass Valley high school last night. Professor Probert’s address, “The Lure of Gold,” was given under the auspices of the Nevada County chapter of the University of California Alumni Association with O. MeCraney, of Nevada City, as chairman of arrangements. “Gold is an elemental substance, heavy, soft of and persistent color, metallic beautiful unalterable, unious attack of disintegrating forces through geological time,’ said the lecturer. “It is a useless metal in. industry, ed value. tis the world, sought after, cherished. It has object of coveted, always been the ‘man’s cupidity.” Speaking. of ‘the distribution of gold, Dean Prebert—said, ‘‘Gold is widely though not plentifully — distributed in earth. It is mined on every continent. It from frigid north burning tropics, ‘from and beach, courses and deep lodes, and fhe sum total of the struggle, effort, and hardship from all countries is about 700 tons a year, a block of gold about 10 by 10 by 10 feet. For every one part of gold in the earth’s crust, are of 20 of silver, 4,000 of lead, 15,000 of copper and 8,800,000 of iron. “If the sea has half a grain of gold to the ton, then in the 300 odd million cubic miles of salt water, for every Man, woman, and child on the face of the globe there is an individual fortune of $50,000,000 dissolved in the sea; the thing is to get it out! I donot offer this as a means of relief to present depressions or to take up the slack unemployment, but I have long passed the time or ridiculing’ these highly ‘speculative opportunities.

To this section the mining industry owes. much. \It was here that the rocker, Long Tom, and sluice were developed; ground-sluicing started at Coyoteville Diggings— now Nevada City—in 1851.

Here the first lode claim laws were written; here many advances were made in--milHing practices: Withal in these early pioneering days, a high morale prevailed among men, which found experession in the crude but forceful codes which governed their actions and protected their properties. The gentlemanly agreements respecting shape and. size of claims and possessory rights were subsequently incorporaed in the laws of the land.

NEVADA COUNTY PIONEERS LAUDED BY DEAN PROBERT GRASS VALLEY, Mar. 18—‘‘The search. for gold dates back to the elimmering dawn-of humat-enlight= enment, and the story of its influence upon man is the history of human _ progress,” stated Professor Frank H. Probert, dean of the College of Mining at the University of California, in an address at the auditorium of the Grass Valley high school last night. Professor Probert’s address, “The Lure of Gold,” was given under the auspices of the Nevada County chapter of the University of California Alumni Association with O. MeCraney, of Nevada City, as chairman of arrangements. “Gold is an elemental substance, heavy, soft of and persistent color, metallic beautiful unalterable, unious attack of disintegrating forces through geological time,’ said the lecturer. “It is a useless metal in. industry, ed value. tis the world, sought after, cherished. It has object of coveted, always been the ‘man’s cupidity.” Speaking. of ‘the distribution of gold, Dean Prebert—said, ‘‘Gold is widely though not plentifully — distributed in earth. It is mined on every continent. It from frigid north burning tropics, ‘from and beach, courses and deep lodes, and fhe sum total of the struggle, effort, and hardship from all countries is about 700 tons a year, a block of gold about 10 by 10 by 10 feet. For every one part of gold in the earth’s crust, are of 20 of silver, 4,000 of lead, 15,000 of copper and 8,800,000 of iron. “If the sea has half a grain of gold to the ton, then in the 300 odd million cubic miles of salt water, for every Man, woman, and child on the face of the globe there is an individual fortune of $50,000,000 dissolved in the sea; the thing is to get it out! I donot offer this as a means of relief to present depressions or to take up the slack unemployment, but I have long passed the time or ridiculing’ these highly ‘speculative opportunities.

To this section the mining industry owes. much. \It was here that the rocker, Long Tom, and sluice were developed; ground-sluicing started at Coyoteville Diggings— now Nevada City—in 1851.
