‘(based on the value of. gold
at that time) in the Malakoff
holdings, Lindgren . estimated
that 30,000,000 cubic yards of
tertiary gravel had been excavated in the North Bloomfield
area and that 130,000,000 yards
still remain. Lindgren estimates
the “same amount of gravel is
available in the Lake City area.
Lindgren states Blue Tent is
comparable to Grizzly: Hill across the canyon of the South
Yuba, ‘but of the 90,000,000 yards
remaining of the original
105,000,000, much is barren clay
and sand,
Lindgren explains the tertiary
deposits are the result of volcanic eruptions of rhyolite and
andesite damming the flow of
the Yuba which in early tertiary
ages flowed from You Bet to
North Columbia. In this great
longitudinal valley masses of
gravel several hundred feet in
depth had accumulated. The Yuba
River blowing in the middle
slopes in a broad and open
valley had to turn and force
its way through the foothill range
of jurassic lavas in a relatively
deep and narrow canyon, This
foothill range acted as a barrier, restraining the gravel
masses. in the open valleys of
the middle slopes, —
In a brief geological history
of this area Lindgren goes back
to the paleozic era when sea
covered all the Sierras, In the
mesozoic era sediments were
compressed in heavy folds and
the. intrusion of granitic magmas
forced them into lofty summits,
The fissures and joints of granitic rocks and altered sediments became filled with veins
and ‘seams. of gold-bearing
quartz, Erosion during the
cretaceous era planed the newborn mountains, and the concentration of gold began in countless streams. Renewed uplift
of the mountains facilitated further concentration of the gold,
and the process. continued
through tertiary time. Toward
the end of the tertiary period
volcanic action filled the valleys with rhyolite flows, covered
the auriferous gravels and outlined new stream courses as
mentioned earlier in the alteration of the flow of the Yuba
River.
Renewed disturbances tilted
the mountains to accentuate the
normal faulting, The streams,
as a result, dropped rapidly
and wore deep canyons across
the old tertiary channels, Eruption of andesite effectively
buried the tertiary streams andfilled their valleys to the rims,
At the close of the tertiary period
the Sierras were a steaming de‘ solate expanse of volcanic mud.
The filled valleys confined ‘the
streams into their newer channels’ of torrential grades that
all through the pliocene and
quartenary eras cut the amazingcanyons that we see today.
In many -places the old river
channels of the tertiary period
were exposed and now can often be seen high on the canyon
walls,
The hordes of men who were
stricken with lust for gold poured
into the Sierras and attacked
first the auriferous gravels of
the present streams, but gradually traced the metal to the
old tertiary river beds and to
the quartz veins, the primary
source of all gold in this area.
The channels proved difficult
to mine until the development
of hydraulicking to wash down
the gravel banks and by drift
mining to get at the old stream.

Mame coming to Music Circus
SACRAMENTO — Mame, the musical comedy version of

picture credits is long and impressive.
