There passed Welch miners, who were to be the fore-runners of quartz mining; miners from Australia, who were to replace the wooden "bateas" of the Mexicans with the rocker and the iron gold-pan, and the term of "specimen" with "nugget."
Don Antonio Coronel, with three Indian laborers, in 1842, took out $600 worth of dust in two months. Water being scarce, the methods of washing the gravel were both crude and wasteful. And it is interesting to note that the first gold "pans" were bateas, or bowl-shaped Indian baskets. The church at San Fernando is in a completely ruined condition. It stands southwest to northeast.
