California Tithe and Gold Rush Figures of 1849 Era
Informal history recounts miners striking it rich from Jan to May 1859 with hundreds in streams around Gulommah. Mormon Brannan taxed 10 percent through Mormon Bar operations. James Marshall mirrored the tactic at Colommah. Mason’s July 4 celebration at Sutter’s Fort and early mining yields, including 14 pounds by John Sinclair, underscored the booming gold era and cross-country movement to the diggings.
