GOLD IN CALIFORNIA.
Denial that Marshall was the First Dis
coverer.

The Oregon Bulletin of January
18th publishes the following letter:
WEsTPoRT, CLATsOP Co.. Oregon.
70 the Editor Of tie BuIletiU In
this days Weekly Bulletin you have
clipping from the Sacramento
Record. claiming Marshall as the
finder of the California gold, and de-
string a pension for him as such.
As this is unjust to others the real
discoverersl | give below a short ac-
count of its discovery:
First In 1772, in Corunna,
Spain, one Loyola Cabello published
book of the Record of California
Missions" and in it stated that to
the northwest Of San Jose Mission
placeros of gold We're found, but
only in small quantities.
Second-Mr. Abel Stearns, living
in San Bernardino county, sent to
the Philadelphia Mint considerable
gold dust, to he coined. bought by
him from the Indians. tSee his evil
of California.
Third-In 1912, James d. Dana, A.
NJ. Mineralogist of Wilkes Explor-
ing Expedition, in his System of
Mineralogy, page J52 first edition) +,
says gold rocks and veins of quartz
were observed by the author in 1912
near the Umpqua River, in Southern
Oregon. Again on pages 231-2 he
says he found gold near the Sierra Ne
vada. on the Sacramento, and also in
the San Joaquin rivers and between
those rivers.
Fourth-In the months of Octo-
Der and November, 1915, Salvador,
a Mexican. was shot in San Francisco
on account of having bag of gold
dust. and when near diving pointed
northward and said, "legos, legos,'
or 'vonder, as to where he had
found the gold dust.
Fifth-On the 10th of September,
1916. G. NJ. Evans, and John Shrine
Ia Mormon, discovered gold dust
about eight or ten miles south-south
east from Lindsey's Lake, near Stock
ton. as it IS now called. Shrine is
in New York and Evans is the writer.
Sixth-On the 10Th of January,
1913. Henderson Cox and Beardsley,
two Mormons, discovered Mormon
Island, and secretly worked there
until the 9th Of February, accord
ing to my information to them,
and divided with me.
Seventh-On the 9th or 10th of
February, Marshall accepted the
mill-race pudding from the Nor
mons, and then was the first time he
knew of the gold.
Eighth-The mill was always
known as Suffers mill, Marshall
only being his foreman; so Marshall
lost no mill, and his penury was the
effect of mismanagement of funds or
wastefuiness.
On the 10th of April, 1917, the
first mail from San Francisco to the
State via Salt Lake, was sent byI
Lieutenant Beal and Sam Brannan,
containing an account of the gold
prospects in California in the Cali
fOrnIa Star.
Thefrst positive knowledge of gold
dust in quantities was made known
by Sam Brannan about the 18th of
May. 1913, in San Francisco, which
caused the exodus of the male pop
ulation to the mines.
"HonOr to whom honor is due
It was Suffers mill-race, not Mar
shalls. Stearns, G.. NJ. Evans and
T. Shrine were the first American
discoverers, and Sam Brannan the
first propagator of the fact positive.
Please insert this. and let Califor
mans know that old Californians are
yet in Oregon.
