Discovery of the Comstock lode name origins and early placer era
The article traces the 1850 Nevada placer hits near Gold Canyon and the prospects of Mormon emigrants, noting early finds by William Prouse and John Orr, and the subsequent rush that led to the Comstock lode. It follows the Gold Hill discovery by John Bishop Old Virginia and others in late January, naming disputes and the birth of Gold Hill, with references to early pay for miners and evolving diggings.
