Excerpt from The Susquehanna, Vol. 7: September, 1897

A half century ago the New \vorld rang with the praises of California. While digging a mill race, a workman accident ally discovered shining particles of gold, the news of which traversed the land with the wings of the wind. Excitement reigned, emigration began at once, until within eighteen months a hundred thou sand persons had docked to the Eldorado of the West. To-day that scene bids fair to be eclipsed by a craze that is spreading its influence not far over America, but throughout the domains of Europe and Asia.
