‎COLUMBIA MINING LAWS caption title‎

‎Columbia Ca.: Gazette Print 1853. Broadside 10 3/4 x 8 inches printed in three columns. A bit of light foxing mostly in the margins. Near fine. In a folding cloth clamshell case spine gilt. A rare broadside printing of the laws of the Columbia Mining District in California in 1853 created and enforced by the miners for their own self-government. The seventeen articles all deal with regulations for mining and claims. The first nine set out rules for making and operating claims. The next three address foreign ownership of claims. Article 10: "None but Americans and Europeans who have or shall declare their intentions of becoming citizens shall hold claims in this district." Article 11: "Neither Asiatics nor South Sea Islanders shall be allowed to mine in this district either for themselves or for others." Article 12 sets out a punishment for any miner who sells a claim to an Asian or Polynesian. The final five articles set out rules for enforcing the laws including the creation of a Miners Committee and a system of binding arbitration. According to the text the laws were adopted "at a meeting of the Miners of the Columbia Mining District held Oct. 1st 1853." and the laws are signed in print by "C.H. Chamberlain Pres." and "R.A. Robinson Sec'y." "The item is of basic importance.as an example of how the California miners - or men beyond the reach of government anywhere else in our States and Territories for that matter - banded together and enacted and enforced codes of law for their own protection" - Eberstadt. The COLUMBIA GAZETTE which printed this broadside was according to Kemble the second newspaper to operate in Columbia starting operations in the fall of 1852. The first newspaper in the area the COLUMBIA STAR apparently printed only two or three issues in October-November of 1851 before the printing press was destroyed by vandals. Greenwood locates only three copies at the California Historical Society the Bancroft Library and the Streeter copy which was sold at the Clifford sale in 1994. Rocq lists a copy at the Huntington Library. OCLC adds copies at Yale Library of Congress University of California at San Diego Stanford and DeGolyer Library at Southern Methodist University. A rare and interesting example of the search for order in the tumult of the gold rush. GREENWOOD 381. ROCQ 15427. EBERSTADT 131:105. STREETER SALE 2735. CLIFFORD SALE 26. OCLC 29876358.

‎California Gold Rush‎

‎THE INDEPENDENT GOLD HUNTER ON HIS WAY TO CALIFORNIA‎

‎New York & Hartford: Kelloggs & Comstock 1852. Handcolored lithograph 13 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches sight. Very clean. Handsomely framed and matted. An iconic image of the California Gold Rush showing a well-dressed and well-equipped argonaut just setting off on the overland journey to the gold fields of California. The "independent gold hunter" is shown walking across the prairie some 350 miles west of St. Louis and 1700 miles from California. His clothes are clean and his hair and beard are neatly trimmed. He wears a frock coat knee-high black leather boots and a large kettle for a hat. In a lower coat pocket are several knives and a pistol and in an upper pocket is a flask. He smokes a cigarette carries a small suitcase in his left hand and his right hand holds a long stick on top of his right shoulder. From the stick hang sausages small fish and a tea kettle. Also seen dangling from him are the tools of his future trade: a gold mining pan a shovel and scales. This copy is attractively colored in muted tones of blue green grey and tan. This lithograph was issued by two different publishers: Kelloggs & Comstock of Hartford with Ensign & Thayer of Buffalo listed as co- publisher and by the famed firm of Currier & Ives of New York. The Currier & Ives issue is likely the first; either issue is quite scarce. Peters singles this print out from the vast production of the Kelloggs firm they were second only to Currier and Ives in productivity saying that their western prints are "a small but important and rare group" and calling this lithograph "extremely interesting." Not in Vail's GOLD FEVER though he does list several Gold Rush prints nor was a copy featured in the 1999 Huntington Library exhibit "Land of Golden Dreams." A copy of the present issue sold at auction earlier in 2018 and before that Rare Book Hub lists no copies at auction since the sale of prints from the stock of Edward Eberstadt & Sons in 1967. OCLC locates only a single copy of this Kelloggs & Comstock issue at the American Antiquarian Society.

‎GOLD SCALE In ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER'S WOODEN CASE Circa 1850. E. Fabreguettes Fils & Morra. William Street 73. New York‎

‎New York: E. Fabreguettes Fils & Morra n. d. Circa 1850. Wooden case with a hinged lid and hook clasps seller's label to inside of lid. Interior has carved compartments for the brass scale and weights including a small compartment for grain weights with a hinged lid. Light general wear to case and weights brass balances a bit tarnished. Only contains the three grain weights so perhaps others missing VG overall. Suspension gold scale made of brass with troy and grain weights. Troy weights nested ranging from 1/16 to 4 oz; grain weights include 2 6 and 10. Case: 1-11/16" x 6-11/16" x 3-1/8". Scale when hanging: ~8-1/4" x 7-1/8" brass balances 2-1/2" in diameter. <br/><br/>In 1850 the New York firm of E. Fabreguettes Fils & Morra importers of French fancy goods attempted to capitalize on the California Gold Rush by adding gold scales to their wares. Notices in several of the city's papers in late October and early November of that year including the Monday November 4th edition of The Evening Post advertised the following: "GOLD SCALES. The subscribers offer for sale the best and most approved pattern of French Standard Gold Scales adjusted exactly to the United States Mint Standard of every size and weight. These scales are so made that they take but very little compass when packed and are much more neatly and conveniently finished than either the English German or American article. As we have all that are made of this pattern parties having orders for shipment to California are solicited to examine them before purchasing elsewhere. Also for sale a variety of French fancy goods accordeons sic &c. E. Fabreguettes Fils & Morra 73 William Street up stairs." E. Fabreguettes Fils & Morra was located at 61 Maiden Lane until at least 1847 moving to their William Street address in 1848 or 1849. No later advertisements for these scales appear to have been issued in New York newspapers leading us to conjecture that the firm's venture into the gold mining market was perhaps not particularly successful. It is of course impossible to say with any certainty if this particular scale was originally used during the Gold Rush though this one here offered was purchased in California giving rise to possibility it may very well have been. In either case a nice artifact from the California Gold Rush era. E. Fabreguettes Fils & Morra unknown books‎
