KFYSTONE MARKET In his article, Ricard states that was knows as early as 1816, when a Seotchman published a book in. Edinburgh in whieh he made the asstertion thgt ‘‘on the coast of Cal{fornia there is a pMin fourteen leagues in extent, covered with allu. vial deposits, in which lumps of gold are dispersed”. Subsequently, in 1843, Ricard, a herd n Prancisc z found gold near what is now Los Angeles while digging for ontons. But documents in the Californte State Library cheat Lepes out of any glory for having been the first discovered of the persctous metal ia thi sstate, as there is reeord of gold having beem remeved from California sofl es early as 1841. And, give Los Angeles eredit for it, too, as this discovery is seid to have been made twenty miles northweet of what is now the city of San Fernando. Furthermore, Marshati was possibly net the first even, to pan gold out of the American river, and there is evidence of an tmportant find on the Bear river prior to 1848. ‘ But it was Marshall's ‘strike’ which was the second “shot to be heard around the world and attracted the first thousands of ijpmigrante te the Golden State. And there is pone who would begrudge him any such hemor as now is his. The personal papers of John Bidwell, famous California pioneer and one of the most fllustrious of Chico's early residents, give most of the data of these early gold discoveries. Referring to the first authentic “diseovery’’, Bidwell writes: “It is not generally known that in 1841—the year I reached California—gold was discovered in what ia now a part of Los Angeles county. The yietd was not rich; indeed. it was so small that it made no stir. “The discoverer was an old Canadian Frenchman by the name of Baptiste Ruelle, who had beén a trapper with the Hudson Bay Company. “Thee mines discovered by Ruelle In California attracted a few New Mexicans, by whom they were worked for several years. But as thev proved too poor, RueHe himself came up into the Saeramento Val‘ey, 500 miles away, and engaged ‘o work for Sutter when I was in Sutter's service’’. Tt was Ruelle also, who claims to have been the first person to discover gold inthe Ameriean river. Thont was in 1843-—still a year before the purported discovery by Lopez. But little credence is attached to Ruelle’s claims by Bidwell, who relates the episode in the following. manner: . d “Ruelle . had been in Sutter's employ for several months when one day he camgyto Sutter and showed him a few: “particles of gold, and aaid he towed them ip the Americap river, and he wanted to zo far into the mountains on that stream to prospect. For this purpose he deafred two mules loaded with previstons and ‘he selected two notably atupi¢ Indian boys to go with him, saying he would have no others. Of course he did not get the outfil. “Sutter gna I talked about it, and our conclusien was that he really wanted ‘th éouftfit so he could join a party and go to Oregon and remain. Such, I believe, was Ruelle’s intention though, in 1848, after Marshail had discovered gold at Coloma, Ruefie,, who was one of the first to go there to mine, still proltested that he had discovered gold on th eAmerican river in 1843”.

Not untfl 1846 did Bidwell have aehance to investigate Pablo’s stery of goid existing in the Sierra. While working on a sawmill forty miles south of Coloma, he launehed a private prospecting journey. “The day was one of the hottest I had ever experienced’, he _ remarke. “I even attempted to descend into a deep gorge through which meandered a small stream, brush and heat”. that gorge— After Marshall's discovery, Bidwell was discussing the fact with amother miner that two years before he had tried to drep into the ravine. al “My stars!’ the prospector excleimed to Bidwell, “Why, that gulch down there richest places that have been found i" this country.
