YUBA RIVER CANYON COUNTRY By J. L. WOLFE A native of France, Jules siere, penetrated the Sierra Nevadas to a point called Boston That was in 1849. A group of placer who called themselves the Boston Company had settled at that place a few months before others had followed and the settlement appealed to Rosiere as a good business location. So he built the first trading post at Boston Ravine which also served the nearby settlements of Ohio Flat, Idaho Island, Ravine and Woodpecker Ravine. But these men were not the first whites to reach the spot where Grass Valley now stands—in 1848 David Stump, a man named Berry and another whose name_ has been forgotten, came doWn from Oregon and in their search for gold reached a spot on Wolf Creek close to where the Idaho Maryland mines are today. They found gold in large quantities well as some heavy nuggets. after three weeks the first tions of winter sent them back to the valley. 850 however, brought quite an influx of gold seekers who worked all the ravines in the But Nevada City with its Deer Creek four miles to the east of Grass Valley and Rough and Ready ‘with its rich gravel mines four miles to. the West—left Grass Valley sadly at a disadvantage. Then one October morning in 1850, Geo. McKnight came across what is now known as Gold Hill and stubbed his dusty boot so hard that he chipped off a piece of rock. His probable flow of language was cut when, upon glancing down, he found the rock shot through with gold. Of course this discovery created vast excitement, some people even feared the source of all gold had been diseovered, and gold would be so debased as to become of no value. Today a granite base, topped by a huge piece of gold quartz rock, marks the spot where McKnight made his eventful discovery—upon which is founded the entire hard rock mining industry of California. More than four million dollars were produced by the Gold Hill mine during the following 15 years. In the same year George D. Roberts located the Ophir vein, the necelus around w hich the great Empire mine is built.
