of much significance being in the Morgan claim on Carson Hill. 
The famous Cabarras Co. (N. C.), (1821,) nugget of 34 Ibs. weight 
was alluvial gold. The largest nugget found in California was at 
Valiceto, (24th April, 1852), near Carson Hill, and weighing 25 
. 5 ounces. 
The following tables exhibit interesting information.

The ratio of quartz gold to alluvial gold is thus shown to be 
much higher in Australia than it is in California, where not over 
one quarter of the annual production is considered to arise from 
quartz, while in Victoria it is seen to be about one half.
