Gold discoveries in 1848 set off a large and extremely rapid migration to California. This article uses newly collected data from the 1850 and 1852 Censuses of Population together with the public use sample of the 1850 Census of Population to examine who went to California and how they did economically. We find that the propensity to migrate was affected by the individual's age and literacy, distance of the state from California, and average state latitude. Consistent with the historical literature, we find that economic outcomes were generally small or even zero for miners but were positive and large for nonminers.

The incalculable volume of minerals extracted from California’s mountaintops and riverbeds formed the very infrastructure that fueled California’s unabated growth beginning in 1849—and permanently altered its look. Detritus washed downstream by disastrous hydraulic-mining operations during the Gold Rush was used to build Sacramento, San Francisco, and the levee system in the Delta of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. Limestone mined by the Monolith Cement Company in what is now Tehachapi built the Los Angeles Aqueduct. The brutality of the landscapes captured in this photo essay is at odds with the popular conception of California landscapes. But, as the photographer discovered through the project, they are in fact quintessentially Californian.

Although it was admitted to the Union as a free state in 1850, labor-starved gold-rush California permitted employers to bind Native Americans as unfree leased convicts, minor custodial wards, debt peons, and, between 1860 and 1863, indentured servants or “apprentices.” As a key component of California's elaborate system of unfree Native American labor, Indian apprenticeship flourished for three years until its abolition during the Civil War in the wake of the Emancipation Proclamation. Little remembered today, much remains obscure regarding the essential details of Indian apprenticeship and the illegal slave trade that emerged to supply the considerable market demand for bound labor. This essay focuses on Humboldt County in northwestern California, where significant numbers of white residents made extensive use of Native American apprentices at the same time that many of their neighbors demanded—and began carrying out—the forced removal and outright extermination of local Indian peoples. Building on valuable data that the anthropologist Robert Heizer extracted in 1971 from the unique but now missing cache of over a hundred surviving indentures discovered in 1915 by the historian Owen C. Coy, this study offers two detailed group profiles of Humboldt County's white employers and their legally bound Native American workers. These collective portraits reveal the social, economic, and demographic compositions of frontier California's master and servant classes while simultaneously tracing both the rise and the fall of Indian apprenticeship within the violent racial context of Humboldt County during the gold rush and the Civil War.

The westward movement carried Americans to the banks of the Mississippi River by 1840, and in the following decade hardy pioneers began crossing the plains and mountains to settle on the Pacific coast. Gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill near present-day Sacramento on 24 January 1848, and the ensuing gold rush created a spectacle such as the world had never seen before.

Full textAbstract:
After the state of California discovered gold in 1848, a gold rush immediately rolled out and spread across North America. But most laborers from the east coast did not want to go to California and only the white Irish workers were drawn to the West because they were smeared as “dirty whites” in the east coast. To attract more laborers to toil in the gold mines, employers began seeking immigrants from China. Unlike white workers, Chinese laborers did not want to stay in the US for very long time and all they wanted was making enough money to buy homes and marry a woman in China. They were willing to work longer time for less, which draw ire from their fellow white workers. Because white workers had voting rights, congressmen in California sided with white workers against Chinese laborers by passing a number of discriminative laws that culminated in the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act. The law virtually banned all Chinese laborers to enter the US until 1943 when China became a wartime ally of the US. Some Chinese including Wong Kim Ark successfully challenged the law by capitalizing on the US legal system. The long and difficult journey of Chinese immigrants finally ran its course in the 1960s thanks to the Civil Right Movement.

The corrido is a popular narrative poem, sung accompanied by the guitar, by means of which the common people are informed about the deeds of popular heroes and other historical events. The Corrido de Joaquín Murrieta, whose origin we have traced back to a nineteenth-century corrido from the state of Zacatecas, in northern Mexico, is dedicated to a California gold rush hero who terrorized the mining camps soon after gold was discovered in 1848. An analysis of the form and contents of the most important versions of the Murrieta corrido is also presented.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractMetallurgy is one of the oldest sciences. Its history can be traced back to 6000 BCE with the discovery of Gold, and each new discovery — Copper, Silver, Lead, Tin, Iron and Mercury — marked the beginning of a new era of civilization. Currently there are 86 known metals, but until the end of the 17th century, only 12 of these were known. Steel (Fe–C alloy) was discovered in the 11th century BCE; however, it took until 1709 CE before we mastered the smelting of pig-iron by using coke instead of charcoal and started the industrial revolution. The metallurgy of nowadays is mainly about discovering better materials with superior properties to fulfil the increasing demand of the global market. Promising are the Glassy Metals or Bulk Metallic Glasses (BMGs) — discovered at first in the late 50s at the California Institute of Technology — which are several times stronger than the best industrial steels and 10-times springier. The unusual structure that lacks crystalline grains makes BMGs so promising. They have a liquid-like structure that means they melt at lower temperatures, can be moulded nearly as easily as plastics, and can be shaped into features just 10 nm across. The best BMG formers are based on Zr, Pd, Pt, Ca, Au and, recently discovered, also Fe. They have typically three to five components with large atomic size mismatch and a composition close to a deep eutectic. Packing in such liquids is very dense, with a low content of free volume, resulting in viscosities that are several orders of magnitude higher than in pure metal melts.

Recently, sting nematodes were discovered associated with dying turfgrass in several golf courses in Coachella Valley, Calif. Based on their morphology and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA restriction pattern, the pests were identified as Belonolaimus longicaudatus Rau. This study was undertaken to determine the host status of 60 different plant species and cultivars for a California population of B. longicaudatus. The host range tests were conducted under greenhouse conditions at 25 ± 2 °C and ambient light. At the second-leaf stage, each pot was infested with 55 ± 12 adults or fourth-stage juveniles per 150 g of blow sand. The population densities determined after 7 weeks of incubation qualified >80% of the plants tested as good hosts with a reproduction factor (Rf = Pf/Pi) > 4. The majority of those were grasses, although reproduction was best on Gossypium hirsutum L. with Rf = 58.6. While Capsicum annuum L., Medicago sativa L., Arachis hypogaea L., Euphorbia glyptosperma Engelm., Cucumis sativus L., and Daucus carota L. were less suitable host plants with Rf < 4, only Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench, Citrullus lanatus Thunb., and Nicotiana tabacum L. were nonhosts among the tested species. This sting nematode population had a high reproductive fitness on a majority of species tested and must be considered a major threat for most agricultural and horticultural crops grown in sandy soils.

Full textAbstract:
Despite its Current Obscurity today, overshadowed by higher-voltage conflicts such as the Civil War and World War II, the U.S.–Mexican War was an almost unqualified triumph for the United States. In terms of military and geopolitical goals, the United States far exceeded even its own expectations. As well as scoring some pretty impressive victories, up to and including storming Mexico City, the United States succeeded in the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which concluded the war, to annex huge tracts of land from Mexico for what was even then a bargain-basement price: more than half of Mexico's territory (including Texas, California, New Mexico, Arizona, and significant chunks of Colorado, Nevada, and Utah) for only fifteen million dollars. The advantage of this deal to the newly expanded United States became clearer as only a year after the treaty was signed gold was discovered in California and, within two decades, there was also a thriving silver-mining industry in Nevada.At the time, of course, the war was huge news. The U.S.–Mexican War generated innumerable items of propaganda and related material. As Ronnie C. Tyler has shown, a huge market in chromolithographs of the war emerged, representing “bravery, nobility, and patriotism” (2). The leading lithographers of the day, such as Nathaniel Currier, Carl Nebel, and James Baillie, sold thousands of oversized lithographs of battle scenes, war heroes, and sentimental themes (Baillie's Soldier's Adieu and Currier's The Sailor's Return were particular favorites). Even more numerous were written and performed reports of the war, from the hundreds of newspaper reports from the front to dime novels, songs, poems, broadsheets, plays, and minstrel shows, as well as the typical 19th-century round of essays, sermons, and oratory.

Full textAbstract:
A search of music history texts on American music, such as American Music: A Panorama, by Daniel Kingman, seems to ignore the music of 19th-century California. In Kingman's text, music of the Indians and of mission life is discussed, but music of California and, indeed, much of the western United States is left unexplored. I have found this to be the case in other texts as well. In fact, I have never found a text that discusses or even mentions music of the Gold Rush in California. Two reasons for this omission seem likely: the first is the paucity of information available and the second may be that the authors incorrectly assumed that, because all miners were emigrants, the music would not be original. The area of music I have chosen to discuss was, in fact, unique to the mining country of California in the first decade of the Gold Rush.
It is my hope that this thesis will be the starting point for further research on the music of the Gold Rush.

The discovery of gold in California in 1848, and in Australia three years later, transformed the landscape for most of the themes discussed in the book. By doubling the world’s supply of gold in less than a decade, these discoveries produced short-term inflation and, over time, made it possible for other nations to join Britain on the gold standard—both of which processes radically altered the financial significance of gold in the British economy. By newly identifying the extraction of gold with the British Empire, the Australian gold rush rendered it more difficult for British observers to domesticate the metal. The huge influx of new gold supplies also threatened to wreak havoc on the conviction that gold was perennially precious. Although it would soon regain its prior value, the misgivings that surfaced in the 1850s remind us that gold’s value was always contingent.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Returns from gold exploration have been disappointing over the last 20 years, despite the surge in quality and quantity of exploration data. Historically, major discoveries have occurred in waves following the introduction of new methods. This paper argues that the new methods driving the next wave of discoveries will be found in recent developments in data mining techniques, including visualization and probabilistic modeling. Visualization techniques present information to the brain in ways that allow patterns to stand out and be more readily perceived by our own human intelligence. Combined with geophysical inversion, these techniques make it easier to integrate multiple data sets and to build geologic models which fit current knowledge and understanding. These models can then be passed among, and visually shared by, workers from all the exploration disciplines. Probabilistic modeling techniques provide an estimate of the probability that some location with given exploration characteristics hosts a deposit, based on a set of known examples. The weights of evidence approach, which has already been used for this purpose, can provide useful results, but is limited by its basic assumptions. Neural network and kernel methods, on the other hand, are not limited in this way and can extract more meaningful information from data. The approach is demonstrated by a study of gold exploration in the Walker Lane, a mature mining district straddling the Nevada-California border in the western United States. This study incorporates 25 primary exploration data layers including geology, remote sensing, geochemistry, gravity, aeromagnetic and radiometric surveys, digital terrain and regional structure, together with known gold deposits. Care is needed in presenting data to the model. Geophysical data, for instance, may have little significance as point values, and need an encoding that represents the pattern of data in the neighborhood of a given station. The same is true of regional structure and, to some extent, of geology. The number of inputs to the model can grow in this way into the hundreds, so that efficient optimization and regularization are required. The model allows the results for individual data sets to be analyzed separately. The geology, for example, shows a strong correlation between the known gold deposits and a Tertiary andesite. The other data sets show similar but not necessarily coincident patterns. The data sets can then be combined to produce an integrated target favorability map. A subarea of the Walker Lane that falls within the Nevada Test Site illustrates the approach. Two specific targets are identified, which would certainly be followed up if this former nuclear weapons testing area was not off-limits to exploration. Finally, the distributions of favorability scores, over the known gold region and the region as a whole, determine the probability that a location scoring higher than a given threshold hosts a deposit. The distributions of scores also permit the expected costs and benefits of an exploration program to be calculated, and show how improved targeting derived from the model reduces exploration costs and increases the probability of success.

Full textAbstract:
The first modern gold rush began when gold was discovered in Northern California simultaneous with the United States acquiring California in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. In the long run, this remarkable coincidence helped send the nation on its trajectory toward global power. In the short run, three traits of this rush—its wealth, its boom of population and demand, and its isolation—created a dynamic in California that caused consequences that would be shared by other rushes across the world: catastrophic effects on the indigenous population, a telescoped development into a modern economy, and expanding connections to a wider world. That third effect was fed by another coincidence. The gold strike of 1848 came just as American and European interests in the Pacific world were maturing. The near-instant expansion of national influence—in this case, toward Asia—suggests another possible pattern of gold-rush imperialism.

ABSTRACT Two construction aggregate companies, Cemex and Hanson Aggregates, operate respective crushed stone quarries on the east and west slopes of Mount Zion in Clayton, California. These sidehill quarries utilize a single highwall and mine Jurassic diabase of the Coast Range ophiolite that formed as a sheeted dike complex. Hydrothermal veins, some containing 20%–30% disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite, cut the diabase. The east quarry, operated by Cemex, was started by the Harrison-Birdwell Company in 1947. The west quarry, operated by Hanson, was started by the Henry J. Kaiser Sand and Gravel Company in 1954. The Cemex quarry highwall is visible as you come into the city of Clayton on Marsh Creek Road, with a height of ~280 m (920 ft). The height of the highwall at the Hanson quarry is ~215 m (700 ft). Both operations remove weathered diabase overburden to expose fresh diabase, which is drilled, blasted, and hauled to the plant for processing. To ensure aggregate is suitable for construction, quality assurance testing is conducted in accordance with the specifications of various agencies. These quarries supply the surrounding area with aggregate for hospitals, schools, highways, dams, and other buildings. Noteworthy projects supplied by the Clayton quarries include the Concord BART Station, Interstate-680, Interstate-580, Calaveras Dam, Sherman Island Levee, Highway 4, Highway 24, and Bay Bridge epoxy asphalt. Before aggregate was mined, Mount Zion was the site of a copper rush from 1862 to 1864. Gold and silver were also reported in various assays from the Clayton district. Although prospecting created excitement around Clayton, no productive orebodies were ever discovered.

Full textAbstract:
During the first half of the twentieth century, before the availability of computerized literature searches, scientists who were working independently often discovered similar measures, phenomena, or relationships. The electrogastrogram (EGG) was discovered independently by at least three investigators: Walter Alvarez, a gastroenterologist; I. Harrison Tumpeer, a pediatrician; and R. C. Davis, a psychophysiologist. On October 14, 1921, after considerable experimentation with rabbits at the University of California in San Francisco, Walter Alvarez recorded the first human EGG. Figure 1.1 shows this EGG, which was recorded from an elderly woman with an abdominal wall hernia. The woman was so thin that Alvarez could observe gastric contractions of 3 min in the upper abdomen that corresponded to the 3cycles/min (cpm) electrical waves that are clearly seen in the EGG recording. Alvarez did not publish additional studies with the EGG during his long and productive career, probably because of the technical difficulties inherent in recording such a weak signal before the development of good vacuum tube amplifiers. I. Harrison Tumpeer, a pediatrician working at Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago, reported in 1926 that while he was attempting to record the EGG, “Alvarez of California published his results.” In a subsequent publication, Tumpeer successfully recorded the EGG from a 5-week-old child who had pyloric stenosis. Tumpeer and his coworkers selected this particular subject because they could observe gastric contractions by simply watching the surface of the skin over the abdomen. Figure 1.2 shows a portion of this EGG. Tumpeer described the EGG as looking like an electrocardiogram (EGG) with a slowly changing baseline. Tumpeer mentioned that cardiologists in 1926 often noted a changing baseline in EGG recordings that they could not explain. Thus, the EGG had been recorded, but perhaps not recognized as such, since the time of the first EGG at the turn of the twentieth century. Tumpeer used limb leads to record his EGG (not abdominal leads) because of his concern that each gastric contraction caused physical displacement of the skin over the child's abdomen. Subsequent studies showed that simultaneous recordings from limbs and abdomen are similar except that the amplitude of the EGG is greatly reduced from recordings from the limb leads.

What do we share in common among each other and what are the [un]common experiences and identities that must be considered and preserved? Can a common ground be established in pursuit of uncommon needs that mark the divergent missions of various interest groups? Is there even a possibility for the “commons” in our radicalized, alienated, co-opted, gentrified, and post-truth world? These are some of the questions that occupied a group of academic practitioners from Urban Works Agency at California College of the Arts through a series of courses and research projects that revolved around the enigmatic topic of the commons. In this paper, we will unpack the most recent investigations and discoveries that emerged from three consecutive urban design studios focusing on the ground floor of the city as the datum upon which the urban commons can emerge or be reclaimed. At the conception of this three-year project, we were searching for overarching principles or codes for commoning, learning from worldwide precedents, where public space was generated as a common good. As the research evolved in close dialogue with community partners, it became more and more clear that the notion of “common good” as a homogeneous abstraction was a fiction, just like the notion of a generic “public”. Instead, the commons should be seen as an emergent amalgamation of agonistic desires, practices and capacities that is meaningful only as long as it maintains its heterogeneity.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Data Science is the current gold rush. While many industries have benefitted from applications of data science, including machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI), the applications in upstream oil and gas are still somewhat limited. Some examples of applications of AI include seismic interpretations, facility optimization, and data driven modeling – forecasting. While still naïve, we will explore cases where data science can be used in the day to day field optimization and development. The Midway Sunset (MWSS) field in San Joaquin Valley, California has over 100 years of history. The field was discovered in 19011 and had limited development through the 1960s. Since the start of thermal stimulation in 1964, the field has seen phased thermal flooding and cyclic stimulation. Recently there has been an increase in heat mining vertical and horizontal wells to tap the remaining hot oil. As with any brownfield, the sweet spots are long gone. Effort is now to optimize the field development and tap by-passed oil, thereby increasing recovery. The current operational focus includes field wide holistic review of remaining resource potential. Resources in the MWSS reservoirs are produced by cyclic steam method. Cyclic thermal stimulation has been effective as an overall depletion process and for stimulating the near wellbore region to increase production. It is imperative to properly identify target wells and sands for cyclic stimulation. Cyclic steaming in depleted zones or cold reservoirs is often uneconomical. The benefit comes when we can identify and stimulate only the warm oil. Identification of warm oil and short listing the wells for cyclic stimulation is a labor-intensive process. The volume of data can get so large that it may not be feasible for a professional to effectively do the analysis. In this paper, we present a case study of data analytics for high grading wells for cyclic stimulation. This method utilizes the machine power to integrate reservoir, and production data to identify and rank wells for cyclic stimulation and potentially increase success rate by minimizing suboptimal cyclic candidates.
