Notes

"The average wage paid to common miners in California in 1874 was $1.50 to $2 per day, says the Mining and Scientific Press of February 2, 1875, which prints a list of all sorts of employees. "No wonder the Comstock miners [at $4 per eight hour day] were the pick of the world."] -Smith, 1943
