 Known as the Gold Country (or the Mother Lode Country), this region of northern California is the site of many a mountainous town where gold was found. On the Western slope of the Sierra Nevada, this is an area of gold mines and many mineral deposits. These deposits were the attraction for many immigrants to the United States in the 19th century.  These immigrants were referred to as 49ers (the gold rush starting in 1849). Some of the towns in this mountainous northern region of California were: Mariposa, Sutter Creek, Nevada City, Grass Valley, Placerville, Columbia, Jamestown, Jackson, Folsom, and Sonora.

 Sado Gold Mine or Sado Kinzan is Sado Island's most important historical site. Currently it is promoted as an UNESCO World Heritage site. Sado Gold Mine was Japan's largest gold mine, while it has been in operation since 1601. In 1601, gold was discovered. In addition, gold was produced until 1989. At that time, mining was ceased. The Sado Kinzan mine produced 78 tons of gold and 2300 tons of silver. To be clear, this represents 156,000 pounds of gold! Cramped conditions were the order of the day. Technology, to include the Archimedes' Screw, helped pump out water to above ground from deep mine tunnels. A Chinese bellows system was used to provide fresh air in the shafts while drainage channels took excess water away preventing accumulation. About 400 km of mining tunnels existed in the Sado Kinzan mine. A huge outcrop is still visible where mining began. Meiji authorities took ownership of the mines in 1867. Some shafts at the Sado Kinzan were completed with the help of G...
