Ed THE MOTHER LODE COUNTRY OF CALIFORNIA The old Hetty Green quartz mine, later called the Eureka, at the foot of Sutter Hill, Sutter Creek. Reputed to have had a gold output of $25,000,000. The gold rush of 1849 ushered in an era of modern mining. The crude method of extracting gold from crevices by the use of knife point rapidly gave way in turn to panning, hydraulic sluicing, quartz mining and dredging.
