(The New York World), No. 31—An Afternoon Stroll That Drove Amerion Gold-Crazvy F James Marshall, an eccentric New Jersey man, had not happened to stroll through the bed of an empty California mill rave, oue afternoon In 1848—— Marshall was working for a pioneer, Capt. Sutter, who had settled in California before the Mexican war. Sutter had come to Amertea from Germany, had slowly wandered across the continent and had started a ranch near the site of the present city of Sacramento. He decided to bufld a saw mill and to cut up his own lumber. That was the real opening of the California gold flelda. Sutter sent James Marshall, a visionary, unpractical wheelwri from New Jersey, to choose a site for this mill. Marshall selected a spot in the little Coloma Valley, where there was fine water power. The rude wooden mill was built. So was the dam. And a mill-race was dug out At last the mill-race and {ts gates were ready. Tho water was turned in #0 that the loose earth and gravel might be washed away from the bottom of th race. Then the water was shut off again, leaving the race dry and clean, On the afternoon of Jan. 19, went for a walk. His wanderings carried him through the washed and dry bed of the mill-race.
