The richest-and most crowded-site is the Mother Lode, a network of streams cutting through the High Sierra in Northern California. There at General John Suiter's mill, 90 miles south of Downieville, James Marshall set off the great gold rush of 1849 by discovering a shiny gilt object smaller than a pea.
