Gold strike in California's Calaveras and Melones area
Four prospectors report surface quartz samples at the Rio Vista mine above the Melones site on the Stanislaus River in Calaveras County. They say the find is solid though not spectacular, with high grade quartz and years of a sporadic past yield, while noting the broader lode region has produced billions in gold since the 1849 era.
