\ GOLD PRODUCTION IN VIRGINIA
The first lode deposit was discovered in Virginia MISCELLANEOUS LOCALITIES in 1806 at the Whitehall mine, located 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northwest of Shady Grove Church in the western part of Spotsylvania County (Sweet, 1971, p.25). Several lode mines near the falls of the James River in Amherst County, as well as several placer mines in other parts of the State, were opened in about 1825 (Green, 1937, p.232-

The California Grasty tract along Mine Run in Orange County Gold Rush of 1849 had a negative effect on gold intermittently from 1831 until 1834 (Watson, mining in Virginia (Figure 2); as miners moved 1907, p. 549).

In January, 1934, the fixed-price of gold was t5
established by executive order at 35 dollars per t2 t20 troy ounce, up from previous price ll ilo its of 920.67 ^ per troy ounce. The higher price resulted in the I ro ,ool reopening of several of the larger gold mines, but I 90l I these were closed again between the late 1930's and early 1940's. The largest production reported 700 during this short period of activity was from the 60Eo Vaucluse mine in Orange County, where 4305.3 500 J ounces of gold were obtained by the Virginia Min- 40 F U ing Corporation from 1935 to 1938 (Bass, lg41, Z3 .o] l p. 80).
