This was a placer mining operation that dates back to the early Gold Rush days. "... in early 1850, the discovery of rich gold-bearing gravels led to the establishment of many mining companies, both big and small, hoping to prosper from the glimmering resource. Much of the activity centered on Deer Creek. Hydraulic mines sprang to life and the hills were pockmarked with “coyote holes” – small, crude mines burrowed into the slopes with the dirt and gravel deposited in heaps at the entrances.

But it was the 1850 discovery of rich gold veins in quartz outcroppings that elevated the dreams to fever pitch."[The Union, "Quartz Fever" by Noy] Prag Collection State: California City: Nevada County, Nevada District Date: 1877
