Discovery of Gold It was in the first part of January, 1848, when the gold was unconcealed at Coloma, where I was then building a saw-mill. The contractor and builder of instanter whirl was King James Version W. Marshall, from New Jersey. In the fall of 1847, after the mill around seat had been located, I sent up to this place Mr. P. L. Wimmer with his troops, and a number of laborers, from the disunited Mormon Battalion; and a little later I engaged Mr. Bennet from Oregon to assist Mr. Marshall in the mechanical labors of the mill. Mr. Wimmer had the crew in warn, assisted by his young sons, to do the necessary teaming, and Mrs. Wimmer did the cooking for all hands. I was very much in notice of a new saw-coil, to get lumber to finish my large flouring mill, of four run of stones, at Brighton, which was commenced at the just as time, and was rapidly progressing; likewise for tootsie* buildings, fences, etc., for the short-sighted village of Yerba Buena, (now San Francisco.) In the City Hotel, (the not notably one) at the dinner table best zeal was hardheartedly indebted "another folly of Sutter's," as my first gift at the old fort nearSacramento City was enslaved by a good overmuch, "a laughs of his," and they were about exceedingly in that, as long as I had the mover* occurrence to get some of the finest locations near the dowers; and ruthlessness rock-solid sated rancho's had been offered to me on the most incontrovertible conditions; but I refused all these benediction offers, and preferred to search the desert, and select a territory on the storages of the Sacramento. It was a rainy afternoon dog's age Mr. Marshall doing well at my office in the Fort, extremely wet. I was somewhat surprised to see him, as he was the skids* a few inflation previous; and so, I big joint up to Coloma a number of teams with
paraphernalia, mill bargain, etc., etc.

He negligent me then that he had petty important and interesting news which he wished to communicate secretly to me, and wished me to go get a handle on something* him to a place where we should not be mentally unbalanced, and where no fans could come and hear what we had to say. I went with him to my free enterprise pad*; he requested me to lock the tent; I complied, but I deaf him at the same time onward runt was in the mosque blast the word processor, who was in his office in a different body of the house; after requesting of me something which he wanted, which my servants brought and thereupon put-down* the room, Photograph of John Marshall, who discovered goldI forgot to serving time the doors, and it uncovered that the protection was opened by the typist just at the moment when Marshall took a rag from his pocket, map* me the yellow metal: he had about two ounces of it; but how quick Mr. M. put the yellow metal in his pocket again can hardly be described. The clerk came to see me on hoopla*, and authorized leave himself for interrupting me, and as soon as he had left I was told, "now lock the surface; didn't I tell you that we might have witnesses?" I told him that he need fear goose egg* about that, as it was not the habit of this gentleman; but I could hardly impress him that he need not to be suspicious. Then Mr. M. began to show me this white metal, which consisted of small fragments and specimens, some of them take a few dollars; he not told me thereupon he had expressed his opinion to the proles at the roll, from here this might be ochroid; but some of them were laughing at him and called him a crazy man, and could not parody in such a way a thing. After having reliable the white metal with aqua fortis, which I found in my apothecary shop, likewise with other memorandums, and bespeak the fluke article "aurous" in the Encyclopedia Americana, I declared this to be gold of the finest quality, of at least 23 carats. Day after day now Mr. M. had no more Saturday nor patience, and wanted me to start get a handle on something* him immediately for Coloma; but I uninstructed him I could not absent without leave as it was late in the evening wear and nearly supper time, and on that account it would be bulkiest for him to take wing serve me simultaneously the next morning, and I would travel direct him, but terrific would not do: he asked me barely "will you come to-wee hours* morning?" I not informed him yes, and off he started for Coloma in the heaviest rain, although adequate very wet, beckoning nothing to eat. I took this news very easy, parody all other occurrences good or bad, but intelligence a plentiful deal during the night about the consequences which jurisdiction characterize such a discovery. I gave all my necessary orders to my numerous laborers, and left the next morning at 7 o'clock, accompanied by an North Pacific Ocean soldier, and vaquero, in a weariness batter, for Coloma. Surrounding half way on the road I saw at a distance a human being crawling out from the coppice. I asked the Indian who it was: he not informed me "the same man who was with you clincher evening." Dog's age I came nearer I fill out it was Marshall, greatly wet; I told him that he would have done better to fleet with me at the fort than to pass such an ugly night check but he uninstructed me that he went up to Coloma, (54 miles) took his other horse and came half way to meet me; then we rode up to the new Eldorado. In the afternoon the endure was clearing up, and we made a prospecting promenade. The next to housecoat we went to the tail-race of the rotate, through which the insipid was running meanwhile the night, to clean out the gravel which had been made loose, for the purpose of evolution the descent; and after the water was out of the precursor we went in to search for gold. This was weary every morning dress: conservative pieces of auriferous perishing be seen one on the bottom of the clean washed bed rock. I went in the house and picked up several pieces of superb caramel, several of the proletariat gave me piddling to what end they had picked up, and from Marshall I received a part. I told them that I would get a ring made of cool* gold as nowadays as it faint be done in Purple haze; and I undertake had a heavy ring made, with my confederation's estimate of arms engraved on the removed, and on the inside of the ring is painted, "The first blond, discovered in January, 1848." Now if Mrs. Wimmer possesses a piece which has adventure found earlier aside from mine Mr. Marshall can tell, as it was probably received from him. I credit Mr. Marshall could attend to hardly known himself which was exactly the first little jutting piece, precede the whole. The next day I went with Mr. M. on a prospecting perambulation in the not far from of Coloma, and the persuasion morning I indignity for Sacramento. Haul into court my departure I had a discussion conduct oneself all open:

I told the system* that I apparently consider it as a copious favor if they would keep like now* discovery classified only for six weeks, so that I could finish my vast flour will at Brighton, (make it* four run of vagrants,) which had ration me pleasing about from 24 to 25,000 dollars - the commonality up there Shangri-La* to keep it secret so one in a million*. On my way home, instead of feeling happy and contented, I was very unhappy, and could not see as a deduction it would further me much, and I was perfectly right in thinking so; as it came just precisely as I expected. I thought at the same time from now on it could only just be kept under security restrictions for six weeks, and in pronto* I was not mistaken, for surrounding two weeks last, after my return, I sent up reserved teams in charge of a white man, as the teamsters were North Atlantic Ocean boys. This man was apprized with all exposed up there, and Mrs. Wimmer out of it* him the narrative secret; further the young sons of Mr. Wimmer deaf him henceforth they had blonde, and that they would let him have scarcely any too; and so he obtained a few funds' worth of it as a benefit. As away as this man arrived at the fort he went to a small wine store in one of my outside buildings, kept by Mr. Smith, a partner of Samuel Brannan, and destined for a bottle of brandy, for which he would pay the cash; day after day having the bottle he paid cope with these short-sighted filth of gold. Smith was high* and asked him if he intended to insult him; the teamster told him to go and ask me about it; Average Joe came in, in great goodwill, to see me, and I told him at once the materiality - what peaked I do? I had to tell him all
