Boyhood Days in the Owens Valley 1890-1908
Boyhood Days in the Owens Valley 1890-1908 Beyond the High Sierra and near the Nevada line lies Inyo County, California—big, wild, beautiful, and lonely. In its center stretches the Owens River Valley, surrounded by the granite walls of the Sierra Nevada to the west and the White Mountains to the east. Here the remote town of Bishop hugs the slopes of towering Mount Tom, 13,652 feet high, and here I was born on January 6, 1890. When I went to college, I discovered that most Californians did not know where Bishop was, and I had to draw them a map. My birthplace should have been Candelaria, Nevada, for that was where my parents were living in 1890. My father was an engineer in the Northern Belle silver mine. I was often asked, "Then how come you were born in Bishop?" and I replied, "Because my mother was there." The truth was that after losing a child at birth the year before, she felt Candelaria's medical care was not to be trusted. The decline in the price of silver, the subsequent depression, and the playing out of the mines in Candelaria forced the Albright family to move to Bishop permanently. We had a good life in Bishop. I loved it, was inspired by its aura, and always drew strength and serenity from it. I have no recollection of ever having any bad times. There weren't many special things to do, but what- ever we did, it was on horseback or afoot. Long hours were spent in school. -

Mineral Resource Potential of the John Muir Wilderness, Fresno, Inyo, Madera, and Mono Counties, California
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP MF-1185-C UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF THE JOHN MUIR WILDERNESS, FRESNO, INYO, MADERA, AND MONO COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA SUMMARY REPORT By 2 E. A. du Bray1, D. ~ Dellinger1, H. W. ~ver 1 , M. F. Diggl~l, Fredrick L. J~ , Horace K. 'lburber , Richard W. Morris , Thomas J. Peters , and David s. Lindsey STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and the Joint Conference Report on Senate Bill 4, 88th Congress, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are presently being studied. The act provided that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of the John Muir Wilderness, Inyo and Sierra Na tional Forests, Fresno, lnyo, Madera, and Mono Counties, California. The area was established as a wilderness by Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964. SUMMARY The U.S. Bureau of Mines arj the U.S. Geological Survey identified many areas of the John Muir Wilderness as having marginal and subeconomic resources of tungsten, molybdenum, copper, gold, and silver. -

Wayne P. Allen Principal Manager, Hydro Licensing and Implementation Southern California Edison Company 1515 Walnut Grove Avenue Rosemead, CA 91770 Telephone: 626-302-9741 Email: [email protected] 3.2 PROJECT INTRODUCTION, LOCATION, FACILITIES AND OPERATIONS The Project facilities are located in the Owens Valley and in areas of the eastern Sierra Nevada in the County of Inyo, southwest of the City of Bishop, California. The Project's facilities are sited along Bishop Creek and its tributaries including South Fork, Middle Fork, Green Creek, Birch Creek and McGee Creek. Bishop Creek is a tributary to the Owens River. Project facilities are located within the Inyo National Forest, in the John Muir Wilderness (both of which are managed by the USFS), lands managed by BLM, and on private lands. The Project area is one of moderate to steep ridge and valley topography. Elevations within the drainages range from approximately 4,000 feet mean sea level (msl) to over 13,000 feet msl. Bishop Creek is a major stream with a total drainage area of approximately 70-square-miles, flowing northeastward approximately 28 miles from its headwaters in the Sierra Nevada to its confluence with the Owens River at the City of Bishop. The North, Middle and South forks of Bishop Creek originate in nearby glacial basins separated by ridges. South Lake and Lake Sabrina are the major storage reservoirs in the watershed. -
Fulgurite in the Sierra Nevada an Update
FULGURITE IN THE SIERRA NEVADA AN UPDATE by CHRISTOPHER A. LIBBY CHIEF INSTRUCTOR, OUTWARD BOUND MAMMOTH LAKES, CALIFORNIA ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN CALIFORNIA GEOLOGY JUNE, 1988 ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN CALIFORNIA GEOLOGY JUNE, 1988 FULGURITE IN THE SIERRA NEVADA AN UPDATE by CHRISTOPHER A. LIBBY CHIEF INSTRUCTOR, OUTWARD BOUND MAMMOTH LAKES, CALIFORNIA In the November 1986 issue of CALIFORNIA GEOLOGY the author reported on the occurrence of fulgurites in the Sierra Ne- vada (Libby, 1986). Fulgurites are a crust-like structure of fused silicate formed by lightning and melted into various substances— in the cases described, the rock of mountain peaks. The peaks previ- ously listed in 1986 were in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks . editor The sharply-pointed summit of Milestone Mountain (13641 feet) attracts frequent lightning strikes, which form fulgurites on the exposed rocks. Photos by C. A. Libby. During 1986 and 1987, observations of fulgurites were made in widely scattered parts of the Sierra Nevada. Fulgurites were noted on Milestone Mountain, Mount Shinn, Scylla, Mount Humphreys, Volcanic Ridge, Mount Bago, Kearsarge Peak, Dragon Peak, Black Mountain, and Mount Clarence King. Trained observers also reported spotting fulgurites on Mount Morrison (Sheppard and Schweizer, 1986). Milestone Moun- tain (13641 feet) is a granitic peak on the Great Western Di- vide of Sequoia National Park, just south of Thunder Moun- tain. Mount Shinn (11020 feet), another granitic peak, is lo- cated in the Sierra National Forest, south of Florence Lake Res- ervoir. Scylla (12939 feet) is a dark peak of metamorphic origin guarding the head of Enchanted Gorge in Kings Canyon Na- tional Park. -

Sierra Nevada Bighorn Sheep Recovery Plan
DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate reasonable actions that are believed to be required to recover and/or protect listed species. We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, publish recovery plans, sometimes preparing them with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Recovery teams serve as independent advisors to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Objectives of the recovery plan will be attained and necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not obligate other parties to undertake specific actions, and may not represent the views or the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the recovery plan formulation other than our own. They represent our official position only after they have been signed by the Director, Regional Director, or Operations Manager as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery actions.
