Our Eureka Placer Claim is located on Eureka Creek in California’s Sierra City Mining District.This district covers a very large area in Sierra County, extending through Furnier, Loganville, Church Meadows, Gold Valley, and the Sierra City-Buttes areas. It is located at the southern portion of a major belt of gold mineralization that extends to the northern district, Johnsville Mining District, which is located in Plumas County. This area was common for placer mining during the gold rush and many coarse nuggets were recovered. In local lode mines, many high grade surface pockets were discovered, including that of the Four Hills mine which yielded between $250,000- $500,000. This mining district was highly active between 1870-1914, and intermittent mining has continued into present time. The actual value of output from the area is unknown, but is estimated to have been about $30 million.
