"In the present survey the tracts of land being issued to Watson and Polhill are bounded on the right by the Volcano Mining Company Ditch and Volcano Canion sic with the Todds sic Valley Company Ditch running through each plot. The Volcano Gold Gravel Mining Company was one of the most extensive gravel mines during the Gold Rush and hundreds of acres of valuable mining lands were drained by its enterprises. Placer County falls in both the Sacramento Valley and Sierra Nevada regions in what is known as the Gold Country. The discovery of gold in this region in 1848 brought tens of thousands of miners from around the world and thousands more settled in the area to provide goods and services to them. The name "Placer" is taken from the Spanish word for gravel or sand deposits containing gold." From Sotheby's. HBS 68368. $4500 1852 unknown books
