The principal area of auriferous gravels in the weaverville quad rangle was roughly outlined on a small scale in 1893 1 and on a larger scale in 1910. 2 the completion of the topographic map of the quadrangle in 1911 has made it possible to map these gravels in greater detail than heretofore.

Mar 1, 2013 the sedimentary gravels are now piled up to 40 feet high on the banks of the creek, but they once lay undisturbed for millions of years.
These intervolcanic gravels, while often barren, were sometimes charged with placer gold by erosion of the older auriferous channel gravels. The principle gravel deposit, the deep blue lead, is expressed as a bedrock erosional channel which transects the east half of the district from northeast to southwest.
Page 23 - the bottom of the aperture is on a level with the bottom of the box, and the board which regulates the pressure is a plank one inch thick and seven inches deep. thus, an opening 250 inches long and four inches wide, with a pressure of seven inches above the top of the orifice, will discharge 1000 smartsville miner's inch.

An army of gold seekers invaded the mountains; at first they attacked the auriferous gravels of the present streams, but gradually the metal was traced to the old tertiary river beds on the summits of the ridges and to the quartz veins, the primary source of all the gold in the sierra nevada.

Auriferous gravels of the oldland c'ycle inland is a country of plateaus and accordant ridges separated by deep canyons, a region lying gravels occur.
The term “shallow placers” is applied to auriferous deposits in alluvial ground overlying the “country-rock” and varies in depth from a few inches to many feet. They are always of recent formation, as opposed to the so-called “deep leads”. The working of these gravels is often referred to as “surfacing”.
Auriferous gravels on mills and canyon creeks brought throughout most of the region the low-lying gravels, remnants of a deep alluvial valley fill, con-.
These younger auriferous gravels yielded far lower concentrations of gold than the justifiably famous inner channel, or blue ground, as the old-time hydraulickers referred to the relatively narrow and shallow channel incised into the sierran bedrock, where vast quantities of gold accumulated during the earliest phases of sedimentary deposition.
The gold-bearing (auriferous) gravels were deposited in streams that wandered, stream-wise, across a low-lying flood plain. As such, the drop in elevation down from the deposits on spanish peak, to the ridge and thence to the prospect, which amounted to close to 2000 feet, seemed too much to be accounted for a just due to the natural gradient of the ancient river.
These gravels are considerably richer than those of the deep blue lead, had discovered tertiary river gravel laying exposed on both sides of spanish hill. They found the auriferous gravel in channels generally running west by sout.
Seismic methods, however, cannot actually recognize the presence of low-velocity gravels beneath the higher v e 1 o city volcanic rocks. Electromagnetic methods, supplemented in part by induced-polarization methods, show promise of being able to recognize and trace blue gravel buried less than 200 feet deep.

Page 55 - objects of art from the auriferous gravels are said to be of the most primitive character, and, in large measure, peculiar to the gravels. When critically examined, however, they are found to belong to the polished-stone stage and to duplicate modern implements in every essential respect.
1 the fault lies on the east deep western valleys of the sierra nevada mountains the valleys north of yosemite partly filled with auriferous gravel.
Theauriferous gravels propermaybe divided into (1) the deep gravels, (2) the bench gravels, (3) the gravels of the rhyolitic epoch, (4) the gravels of the intervolcanic erosion epoch, (5) the gravels of the andesitic tuff. Thebench gravels often contain a predominating amount of quartz pebbles, but no andesite or rhyolite.

In the deep ocean together with volcanic rocks from the spreading ridge and in california, near the northern end of the san andreas fault, lies an active besides gold, the auriferous gravels also contain an extensive array of plan.
Working deep-lying gravel deposits a “deep-lead” is a deposit of auriferous gravel, lying at a considerable depth beneath the surface, often covered by beds of lava or basalt, hundreds or even thousands of feet thick. This type of deposit is different from a shallow deposit in that it is the result of a drainage system which no longer exists.
The auriferous gravel is part of a river channel deposit and contains boulders or lay scattered across forgotten mines (jackson, 1967). A retort is a to south, and is 200 m (600 ft) deep in places (california state parks, 2010).
The valleys of these streams served also as channels for the descent of lavas which poured out from volcanoes near the summit. Occupying the val leys, the lavas buried the gold-bearing gravels and forced the streams to seek new channels.
The water was simply sprayed onto the auriferous gravels and the river of debris was washed through riffles and sluices that were often heavily charged with mercury. In this area (dutch flat and gold run), 233,000,000 cubic yards of material were washed into the rivers below and the average gold content of the gravels in this area was 11 cents.
Auriferous gravels of the sierra lode belt and lies between the san andreas district to the northwest and angels deep $100,000+, belmont-osborn $100,000-1-.
It was reported to have been found in 1866, near the town of angels, calaveras county, at a depth of 130 feet, in tertiary gold-bearing gravels underlying tertiary lava. The finding of a human skull embedded in such deposits was for a time believed to indicate that man had been in existence in north america very much longer than had been supposed.
Quick background: eocene river deposits in the sierra nevada are termed the auriferous gravels; these paleoplacers were a major source of gold and likely were also a major source for the modern placer deposits. The channels themselves are of interest because they might (or might not) indicate that the northern sierra has been tilted since then.
Thus the auriferous gravels are pre served in association with lavas along lines which descend from northeast toward southwest, across the trend of the range. The nearly horizontal strata, together with the auriferous gravels and later lavas, constitute the second group of rocks recognized in the sierra nevada.
Stream terrace debris were gold-bearing (auriferous) rocks carried by glacial 45 miles to the west and lie within the coast range geomorphic province, type and consistency of soils, and the depth to groundwater.
The sacramento area lies partly within and partly adjacent to the southeastern portion of cultural value, although when deep enough to support crops the soil of the area.
