The Williams & Kellinger Gold, Silver & Mining Co. was formed in 1862 by Charles Williams, John Kellinger, Hogue Worley, Major Pierson B. Reading & J. J. Bell. It was the original discovery claim in the Pittsburg Mining District which later became Copper City in Shasta County. Charles Williams was a Swedish miner who discovered the ledge while trying to get money for whiskey. The ore was rich in silver and copper. He realized its richness in silver after seeing a Comstock Lode specimen that had been brought to Red Bluff. See: The History and Business Directory of Shasta County, 1881, pg. 133-34.
