While Grand Marshal, in San Franeiscc,
for the Fourth of July celebration. in 1869,
General 4. N. VIM, thought an ezhibi-
lion of Young Californians would be an in
teresting part Of the procession; he adyer-
tised time and place of meeting for them
they responded ia large numbers, but were
too younS to appreciate organization. For
At least twenty years his mind had been
running on some lasting style of monu-
ment to mark and perputuate the discovery
of gold He could think OF nothing that
he deemed imperishable in the course of
time; at last he concluded that an order
composed Of Native Sons of the Pacific
Coast would effect the object, and be sps-
tanned by pride Of parentage and place of
nativity, while it would be an imperishable
momento-an institution that would last
through all time. In the early part OF
June, 1879, General VIM called

Those of Previous Dates.

1879. The historian of that voyage says:
There is no part of the earth here to be
taken up wherein there is not a reasonable
quantity of gold or silver"
There is no further account Of gold or
silver discoveries for 223 years, until 1902,
when it is said silver mines were discovered
in II uterey county. Manfras says that
gold was found in San Diego county in
1928. bat the mines were of small impor-
tanvc.
The first mine to produce any noticeable
amount of precious metal was the gold
plac,-s in the canyon OF the sam Francis
quito creek foriy-fivc miles northwest Of
Los ANGELES 1t was discovered III 1888,
and was worked continuously for ten years,
when it WIS deserted for the rich diScov
cries III the Sacramento basin. Its total
product was not more than $4,000.
On the eth Of May, 1876 Thos. 0. Larkin,
United States Consul at Monterey, wrote
the Secretary of State as follows: There

san Fernando, near San Pedro. BY wash

gold that brings 81 per ounce in Boston.
The gold has been gathered for two or
three years, bu, few persons have the pa
tieucu tu look for ii. There is no doubt bat
that gold Is 20 bt found all over California;
Till May, 1916, no productive mines were in
operation except the one on San Francis
