was sent to find a site for a-mill. He

‘the gofd that was to start the greay
est continental migration in the history of this part of the world. Mar-shall died almost a pauper, and Sutter, who preferred to dig his gold
from thé ground in the form of crops
fared little better. He was virtually
ousted by squatters and gold hunters.
Marshall’s discovery was in Janunary, of 1848. By 1849 the country
was fw of miners and a colorful
and important phase of California’s
history started. San Francisco boomed and became a cosmopolitan center; Sacramento, Marysville, Yuba
City and. Oroville became towns of
size and importance. Steamers plied
the Sacramento river on their way
to the gold fields; stage coaches rattled in and out of the cities. Great
schemes for recovering the gold
were hatched, financed and sometimes succeeded. Wealth apparently
was to be plucked out of the air, so
free was everyone with gold.
Great, robust characters, peopled
the mining centers, Bandts, parsons,
gentlemen gamblers, bankers, and
financiers rubbed elbows in the liyely towns while in the gulches the
swarms of men dug for. gold, some
coming out in a few weeks with fortunes. Violence. was frequent and
justice was dispensed simply and

Commodore Stockton who became interested in the settlement and promised his, aid. In gratitude to his
friend, Weber changed the name of
Tuleberg to Stockton. With the discovery of gold the infant settlement
grew into populous center in short

San Joaquin river navigation and in
close proximity to the mines, it had
