GEOLOGY OF RIVER CHANNELS
The Great River Channel of
California.
THE FAMOUS DEPOSITS OF WEALTH IN THEM
his Great Gravel Bed; the Channels
and Drifts Run North and
South.
HE FAMOUS DEPOSITS OF WEALTH IN THEM
BY JOHN A. FAULL. I

The great majority of gold is very
fine. Occasionally there are found
large boulders, but one main channel
break is found at Dutch Flat. Here
we have a sudden change, first the al
luvion deposits, then series of gravel
and boulders of greater or less magni-
tude called the surface wash; the Sec
ond wash contains what is known as
pumpkin seed gold, very heavy de-
posit of quartz boulders, some of
which weigh fifty tons; in some Of
these boulders gold has been found.
From this it has been reasoned that
quartz is the mother of gold, yet nine
teen-twentieths of all the gold taken
from our river beds and channels has
been free, angular and rough, some
times, but very rarely, scaley. In the
surface earth the alluvial, which has
been found is a little hakey but none of
the quartz gold shows anything like
the gravel gold. The one is contained
in silica crystallized, the other is free
in a grain-like or nodular form In the
wash amidst all of rock. 1 say in
passing, that oxygen constitutes one
fifth part of our atmosphere; eight
ninths of the weight of water and a
large percentage of our rocks. Hydro
gen forms the remaining part of water
and enters into some kinds of rocks
The metal silicon unites with oxygen
in nearly equal parts to form silica, the
| base of 0nehalf the rocks of the
earth S crust. Phe gases go to make
up the water, air and rocks, but have
nothing to do with the gold. We
know that niuty-nine per cent of a
pure quartz crystal is silica. The gold
must be accounted for in some other
| way.
The gold found by miners is often
called nuggets, not frequently found in
river beds of the present day, but often
found in the gravel beds of the west
and east drifts, for as such | regard
|
form nor continuity to those drifts.
They groove, slide and twist in all di-
rections. Some are small whilst others
are large and of various lengths.
Many are covered with pudding stone
and lava like cement. For instance
the Cherokee wash in Butte county.
In this mining district all of the mines
are found in pits of greater or less mag
nitude; none are regular. Around Oro-
vile on the banks of the Feather river
the gravel covers many thousands of
acres, with the bed rock in pits and
humps. Some are deep enough to
drift whilst others are mere surface
diggings. We will look little south
to the American river and examine the
country from Coloma, the gold-find of
Marshall, to Coon Hollow and the ad-
Amador ledger., 1900-02-09

iacent diggings. Here the drift is
heavy. the side ravines we're found to
be very rich. These are also gold
channels and need but to be looked at
to convince the examiner that thew are
mere deposits made by a secondary
river, taking their wash from the great
gravel line. They can also see that the
glacial drift was of great length and
width and that the main channel was
swept away by some cause that we can
not now explain from any evidence.
If we follow up this stream from
Placerville to Sportsman's hall, in
Strawberry Valley over Slippery Ford,
it will be seen that from seventeen to
twenty miles in length of the noun
tain side has been swept away, leaving
granite rocks hundreds of tons in
weight. Go a little further south and
the arm is found running west, almost
at right angles to the mountain chain.
Reaching the base of the mountains at
lone Valley, description of which we
will find in another chapter, it presents
no connection between these streams.
The only evidence that can be given is
scratches upon the mountain sides,
where the abrasion has not been too
great to cover the ancient drifts.
When we reach Lancha Plana,
where the table-like Buttes are seen,
the result of drifting having doubtless
formed them at the waters edge of
the present ocean. There we can see
the tide marks. We take the level at.
this place and find that the slope of the
mountain range is about six and one
half degrees. Let me here note that
what is known as Butte Basin in
Amador county, south of Jackson, is
glacial pit. supposed by many to be
rich in gold. The top rim was rich;
the bottom holds genii yet to be
brought forth,
We will now ask the Travelled miner
or student to look at the thousands of
acres of bar bedrock to be found and
then ask themselves what kind of
rivers were they that made those
gravel beds, where they came from
and how headed. If we say that the
whole earth was at one Undiscovered
with water, it can be claimed that
these deposits were formed under the
water on the bed of the sea. If formed
after the assumed uplift, from whence
came the wash of this vast system?
To my mind there is but one answer,
and that is the lateral moraine, the
drift from the great icecap that cover
ed the mountains. 1t will be asked
again Where did the gold come from?"
That question has been asked thous-
ands of times, and will be asked from
the morning of time until the end.
