FRIDAY, OCT. 28, 1932 The. Yuba River Country Ever since George McKnight in 1850 stubbed his tpe to the probable accompaniment of words spoken under his breath and looked down at the obstruction to see virgin gold glittering in the crystal white quartz, gold quartz rock has played a most important part in the lives of Grass Valley residents. The city and its streets are built of materials that contain gold, as the most effictent mill is unable to get all the gold out of the rock. In the very early days much gold was lost that today is being recovered. Many of the going mines have, during the past two or three years, picked up the rock from waste piles of earlier operations and are running this rock through their mills and flotation plants at a tidy profit to themselves. The past eighty years, when anyone in Grass Valley or its enviorements built anything for which crushed rock was needed to the waste dumps of one of the mines he would xo. The city of Grass Valley, the County of Nevada, and even the State of California, when building highways in this district have used nothing but this mine rock. A motorist driving along the streets today may well be riding on a paved road—the rock for which lay for millions of years a mile and more beneath the surface of the earth. In 1874, Main Street in Grass Valle: was being macadamized with rock from the old time Dromedary mine. While the gravel operations were in full swing it rained one day and onlookers were startled to see flashes of gold in the quartz rock. There followed then a feverish search for sold during which the whole street was gone over and several valuable pieces of rock picked up. A picture is still in existance that was taken in 1874 from the second story window of an office that is now occupied by Dr. W. C. Evans, dentist. Looking down Main Street toward South Auburn, dozens of men and boys in old time miners clothes are seen squatting on the piles,of gravel us they hunt for the ffee gold. That was fifty eight years ago. Less then thre emonths ago, while gravel rock from the Empire mine dump was being spread along the highway between Grass Valley and Colfax, men with canvas bags swinging over their shoulders followed the sprinklers along and picked up gold bearing quartz. True they did not make fortunes and some days they made very little, but yet they were making a livelihood picking gold off the highway. In eleven miles of this highway probably $25,000 worth of the precious yellow metal lies locked beneath the asphalt surface. In the same way when the State of California built the highway between Auburn and Grass Valley the fifteen mile stretch between Bear river bridge and town were rocked from the waste dump of the Pennsylvania mine. In this stretch there is another approximate $25,000 worth of gold. Last July and August while the city of Grass Valley was paving Conaway Avenue, the street superintendent, George Bennetts, while running the rolier noticed the familiar yellow gleam and stopped the machine. Jumping down he picked up a piece of rock smaller than an egg, and found that is contained two and one half dollars worth of free gold. But though a quarter million doltare in gold is doubtless a part of the asphalt or concrete surfaced etreets and highways of the Grass Valley district, this represents only NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY W.

It has been estimated that of the $20,000,000 gold produced in the New World since Columbus discovered America, 15 per cent was during the period form 1493 to 1848 and 85 per cent since that time. Of the worlds output the United States has produced 22 per cent and the County of Nevada in and about Grass Valley has produced 5 and 6 and 10 per cent of the entire United States gold production. And although a quarter of a billion dollars has been added to the wealth of the United States by the gold mines of Western Nevada County, quartz mines are still producing $10,000 worth. of gold each day. A tremendous industry received its start by the stubbing of a thick soled miner's boot back in 1850.
