A view inside the Diltz Mine in Mariposa County where the
lights go beyond the slight bend in the tunnel to a point
further back into the mine.
Gold and Quartz Crystals can be anywhere in the veins
that angle down through the tunnel.
The lighter colors in the photo are the quartz veins where
one can chip away at the quartz and just maybe a gold
specimen will be found !

Another Site on the Diltz Mine: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~gtusa/usa/ca/mrp-co/d.htm This is another great site on Mines in Mariposa County: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~gtusa/usa/ca/mrp-co.htm The above mentioned sites are probably the best we have came across on the web for Mariposa County information on the old days. For photos, the Mariposa Library has quite a few that have been donated by local families: http://www.sjvls.org/cgi-bin/dig_b2/mp If you know of other sites that have good info on the county please let us know Jerry Username: Jerry Registered: 7-2006 Posted on Monday, September 18, 2006 - 7:51 am:    Tom Bopp filled the house at the Mariposa Museum and History Center yesterday as he gave a very animated performance on the time that President Teddy Roosevelt came to California and went to Yosemite with John Muir. Look for a story about his presentation later on the Sierra Sun Times. Jerry Username: Jerry Registered: 7-2006 Posted on Monday, September 18, 2006 - 8:26 am:    Deer in the yard !
