system of mountains that make up the
coast range, was considered the peculiar
realm of asphaltum, petroleum, coal and
quicksilver; the western declivity of the
Sierra Nevada was set apart for gold, a
narrow band of cupiferous ores having
been permitted to traverse its base; while
the easterly side of these mountains was
made the special home of silver, this
metal alternating with gold, lead and
copper-bearing belts in the desert regions
