Product Description
Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER IV.POPULATION AND SOCIAL ASPECTS.Composite character of population — English feeling dominant — Squatters — Melbourne crowd — Christmas of 1851-2 — Diggers and their brides—Crisis of the Gold Fever — Prospects of emigrants— "New chums" — Gold-brokers — Their frauds — Public amusements — The botanic garden — Literature — Franchise conceded to schoolmasters.No country on earth can show a population composed of more heterogeneous elements than Victoria: — English, Scotch, Irish, Americans, French, Germans, Hindoos, Negroes, Chinese, South Sea Islanders, New Zealanders, Australian Aborigines,—and still our list is not complete. Fortunately for the public peace, all these coalesce and fraternise in the most amicable manner. All are subject to the same laws and enjoy the same privileges. No nationalities are wounded, and none are prominently displayed, unless it be on the occasion of certain anniversary dinners, when each of the three sections of the United Kingdom meet their compatriots, and make speeches in praise of their country and of themselves. Even the Irish Roman Catholic here forgets his antagonism to the " Saxon." The Americans, abandoning or restraining their own predilections and peculiar habits, become active traders or quiet and industrious mechanics, and, as such,are universally liked and valued. The Chinese generally arrive in companies, habited in their own costume, and at once start off to the diggings, where they have their full share of success. The New Zealanders work quietly together in the same way. All individual national peculiarities appear to be overshadowed by the dominant English habits and English feelings. As a whole, the colonists are thoroughly English. In spite of almost perpetual and bitter complaints of the indifference and neglec... ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Another good Ballantyne
Digging for Gold is about a young man named Frank Allfrey who lives in England with his miserly uncle. His uncle, who does not approve of Frank's chosen profession of painter/naturalist, sends him to be a clerk in California. The business in California fails, and Frank must make his fortune by gold-panning. He is joined by Joe Graddy, a kind old sailor who had also worked at the firm. They have many adventures on the way, make several friends and eventually Frank gets his fortune, though from an unexpected quarter.

Ballantyne is a wonderful author who writes from a Christian standpoint, and makes a point of creating his characters with good morals and values. He occasionally deals with difficult subjects. For example in this book, he writes briefly about the way justice was typically meted out at that time in California (murder, lynching). But on the other hand, at the end of the book, Frank decides to use most of his fortune helping others and even his uncle decides to loosen his purse.

This is a short book, my copy being only 124 pages. The purpose of these shorter books, and others in the series, was to educate people who could not afford longer more expensive books. Ballantyne was always careful to make sure the facts in his books were correct, though the characters were fictional. He often went to the places he wrote about, and sometime the adventures his characters encounter happened to himself or someone he knew. All of Ballantyne's books are good, I'm just sorry he is not better known.

Product Description



The Montana Frontier, 1852–1864 was originally published in 1925 as Volume I of Granville Stuart's classic Forty Years on the Frontier, based on his reminiscences and journals. The opening chapter reviews his early years in Virginia, Illinois, and Iowa; the narrative proper begins in 1852 when the eighteen-year-old Stuart headed for California with his father and his brother James. ("There was not a habitation from the Missouri river until the small settlement of Salt Lake was reached; nor one from Salt Lake until the Sierra Nevada mountains were crossed.") The volume covers his experiences in California, including an account of the Rogue River War, and describes how—almost fortuitously—he was able to confirm rumors of gold in present-day Montana. Because they lacked equipment and supplies, the Stuart brothers were unable to cash in on their find until 1860; during the interim they were traders along the emigrant road near Fort Bridger. After 1860 Stuart became a permanent resident of Deer Lodge; in 1864, thanks in great part to his efforts, Montana became a United States territory.

Product Description
This book reviews the geochemical and petrological characteristics of the potassic igneous rock complexes and investigates the different tectonic settings in which these rocks occur. The authors provide an overview and a classification of these rocks and attempt to elucidate the geochemical differences between barren and mineralized potassic igneous complexes. Many epithermal gold and porphyry copper-gold deposits are hosted by high-K rocks. Therefore, this book is not only relevant to academic petrologists working on alkaline rocks, but also to exploration geologists prospecting for epithermal gold and/or porphyry copper-gold deposits in modern and ancient terranes. This third, updated and enlarged edition contains several new sections, new geochemical data and additional references. ... Read more

This book is highly recommended for mining and exploration geologists exploring for gold and copper resources worldwide. It is particularly useful in target generation. Well written!

Editorial Review

Product Description
Packed with suspense, science and lots of gold, Sarah Andrews' sixth novel takes us from the eagles' domain high over the American West right down into the depths of the earth itself.

Like a modern-day Sherlock Holmes, Andrews' engaging heroine, forensic geologist Emily Hansen, uses geological clues to solve crimes. Now, fresh from extricating herself-just barely-from suspicion in the investigation of the murder of a dinosaur paleontologist in Salt Lake City, Em allows a wily FBI agent to talk her into assisting the Bureau on another case.

Em and the agent head into the deserts of Nevada: gambling and gold mining country, where fortunes-and lives-are won and lost. Their task is to investigate the high stakes behind conflicting reports about an endangered species on federal land, land the government has leased to a proposed billion-dollar gold-mining operation.

But when they arrive, they discover the case has taken an alarming and lethal turn. The biologist they have flown five hundred miles to interrogate lies dead in her pickup truck at the edge of a lonesome road, and a key mining geologist has gone missing. What started as a simple fraud investigation quickly develops into an intricate murder case in which Em must unravel the secrets of gold, the desert, and an Indian tribe struggling to maintain its secrets. The wide-open spaces harbor a deadly enigma that is all too human-and what's at stake is not just Em's life.

Andrews has updated observations into the dirt on dead men's shoes for the golden age of high-tech forensic analysis. An Eye for Gold is an enthralling, nail-biting adventure in the air and underground-her best book yet.
Amazon.com Review
Forensic geologist Emily Hansen has come to Salt Lake City to see herlover and perhaps to marry him. But before she makes the decision, sheis manipulated by FBI agent Tom Latimer into investigating a possiblyfraudulent gold-mining operation on federal land. Another geologist ismissing, and a scientist charged with assessing the environmental impactof proposed new drilling operations is dead in what appears to Em to bemurder rather than an accident.

Author Sarah Andrews's strength is her feeling forthe arid landscape of Utah and Nevada. She is somewhat shakier indescribing her heroine's conflicted emotions about her problematicromantic attachment and the strong sense of autonomy that leads her totake Latimer's bait and get involved in the case. The physicallandscape is brilliantly evoked, while the territory of the heart hasmore subtle boundaries that draw the reader in to a rather convolutedplot. This is the sixth outing for Em, and Andrews's fans will followher anywhere, even through the detailed and somewhat tedious scientificand geological explanations about mining and a barely more compellingexplication of gold's timeless allure. The minor characters are moreinteresting than many of the central figures: a Paiute shaman, a wealthywoman who pilots her own plane, and the upright Mormon policeman whoseproposal provokes Em's exploration into her own inner world. Readers canexpect to find out more about him in Em's next outing. --Jane Adams ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Kindle formatting a bit off; good story
I read this on my Kindle. The text looked like it was from an old book with some of the text more bold than others. There were some lines where the letters were not aligned with the rest of the line. It took a long time for my Kindle to turn on when I was reading this book and the page turns took a long time compared with in all my other Kindle books. I liked the story and did not personally find it too technical, but I tend to enjoy the sciences. My main beef is with the Kindle formatting.

4-0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Refreshing
I thoroughly enjoyed An Eye for Gold.I read the book for my geology class, but I found myself not being ble to put it down.Structurally, the writing style was unique, but because we discuss a lot of the subject matter in class, I found it more interesting.The biggest hinderance to me was her plot structure because it wasn't the traditional conflict-climax-resolution, but once I got past that I found it to be a real page turner.

4-0 out of 5 stars good story
I was not originally going to review this book but disagreed wildly with the other reviews.I thought the mining detail was one of the most interesting facets of the book, not at all hard to follow, and added immensely to my enjoyment of the book.Similarly, i was delighted with the non-formulaic nature of the plot; it is intriguing not to be able to unravel the whole thing on page 10 or so.I also enjoyed the digression into the character of the missing geologist and his relationship with his wife.For me, the most unconvincing and flattest part of the book is Em's relationship with Ray, her ostensible love interest.Maybe he will develop some in later books, but I just could not believe that this woman could have reached the point of thinking about marrying someone who wants her to abandon the intellectual side of her nature.Nor am i convinced by Em's repeated soul-searching and rejection of requests to helf the FBI.This woman could not be this un-self-aware.

1-0 out of 5 stars Zero star is more like it
I was very disappointed by this book. I found the writing to be ok but the story was not well structured and this book needed some serious editing it did not receive. I did not find anything about the characters appealing and frankly could not tell the good guys from the bad guys. If you want to read a much better written and interesting book with archaeology as a back drop I would highly recommned Beverly Connor's Airtight Case.

4-0 out of 5 stars Tough read...
I really enjoy the Em Hanson books and would have easily given the other books in the series 5 stars, but this book is far too technical for the average reader. At times, I felt like I was reading a miner's manual.For me, all of the explanations of mining procedures, chemical analysis and mineral analysis did not add to the story.I found myself skipping over many paragraphs then would have to back up and reread.That got very tedious. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
Documenting a joint Chinese-European study of mesothermal lode gold deposits from early Precambrian rocks of E. Hebei Province (NE China), introductory chapters on gold deposits, and the basement geology of the Sino-Korean Platform are followed by detailed descriptions of the individual gold desposits. These include descriptions of the lithology and structure of the host rocks, ore geochemistry and petrography, and wall-rock alteration. Radiometric ages, fluid inclusion data, and C-O-H-S-Pb isotopic compositions of ore and gangue minerals constrain the timing, physical conditions and the possible origin of mineralization. An important conclusion is that, in contrast to the Archean greenstone-hosted gold desposits in Canada, Australia and Africa, the Chinese examples occur in high-grade polymetamorphic rocks, and the main impetus for mineralization was tectonism and granitic magmatism of the late Mesozoic Yanshanian orogeny. This book will be of considerable value as a source of specific information and extensive references about gold deposits and Archean geology in NE China, and should be equally interesting to geologists working on Archean gold geology and those concerned with Mesozoic Circum-Pacific metallogeny. ...

Product Description
An informal and engaging history of San Diego's own Gold Rush. A Good Camp takes readers through the history of this unique mining region, whose quartz veins once yielded millions of dollars worth of gold; from the first meager strikes to the big discoveries, and on to the eventual bust times for Julian, Banner, and surrounding areas. Leland Fetzer briefly explains the geology of the area, and describes mining and milling as it really was at the most productive mines, including the Stonewall and Ranchita.

Learn about the hardy immigrants, former soldiers, and pioneers who discovered "gold in them thar hills." Discover why, of the hundreds who flocked to the area in the 1870s, some struck it rich and some died penniless, and how some well-known San Diegans earned their fame.

A Good Camp also tells some of the fascinating history of Julian itself, a few houses that quickly blossomed into a boomtown and eventually grew into a popular tourist destination. The book contains dozens of photos of what remains of many famous mines, includes maps, diagrams, and historic photographs, and concludes with a guide to the mines that can be visited and toured. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Not all the gold was in northern California!
I attended a lecture by the author of this book at a community college in the San Diego area.He obviously has done his homework and then some, including rare photographs along with his text.Reading the book after or even before a trip to this picturesque town in the hills above San Diego gives one an idea as to what was the past lifeblood here.And the book is worth its weight in--yes--gold when actually scouting out sites of past mines.Of course, after such an excursion, a piece of apple pie--containing Julian's agricultural treasure--brings you into the present.

5-0 out of 5 stars Blends historic photos and details
A Good Camp: Gold Mines Of Julian And The Cuyamacas is an informal hand fascinating istory of the San Diego gold rush of 1870, and provides the reader with a lively cast of local characters blended with a geology of the region and an exploration of early mining processes. The result is a history which blends historic photos and details of a Southern California mining spree.

5-0 out of 5 stars An interesting side to San Diego history
This book showed a really interesting side to San Diego history--the gold rush! I've lived here all my life, and didn't know there was so much to learn about gold mining in the Julian area. I especially liked the parts about the people who lived then, and how they worked in the gold mines. I've been to Julian before, but the book made me want to visit again. ... Read more
