Great Beef Stew
1/4 lb chuck steak (cheap) for each person
5 pounds of potatoes
5 pounds of carrots
Salt, pepper, bay leaves, water
Let the beef cook for 30 minutes after the water is a full boil, (make sure pot has a cover for more efficient heating) throw in carrots + potatoes , bring to boil and serve once carrots and potatoes are soft. Jack Clow, Scouter
Stew and Biscuits
1 roast (1/4 – 1/2 lb. per person; cheaper than stew meat)
1 bottle Zesty Italian salad dressing
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. butter or margarine
1 large onion
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. seasoning salt
1/2 cup corn starch
1 – 2 cans refrigerated jumbo biscuits
1 large Ziplock bag
2 – 3 1 lb. bags frozen vegetables (chef's choice – many combinations are available at the supermarket.
Note: The onion can be omitted if the frozen vegetable package includes onion. It's nice to include a specialty mixture of vegetables for color and variety.) 1 package mushroom (or brown) gravy mix. Also, (a package of e.g., McCormick, beef stew seasoning can be used in place of the seasonings and corn starch)
The morning of the dinner, cut up the roast into bite-sized cubes, put the cubes in the Ziplock bag, and add the salad dressing and Worcestershire sauce. Seal the bag and knead to mix the contents. Put the bag back in the cooler until its time to cook. It is best if the meat can marinade at least four hours (this imparts a wonderful flavor to the meat as well as tenderizes it).
Dice the onion. Saute' in the butter in the Dutch oven. Then add the marinated meat and spices and brown the meat. After the meat has browned, add the mixed vegetables and stir. When everything is combined, mix the gravy mix with water in a separate cup per the instructions on the package and add to the stew. If there is not enough liquid to the mixture, add a little more water. Cover the Dutch Oven and allow to cook for about 1/2 hour, stirring occasionally. There will be extra liquid in the stew from the marinade, vegetables, and added water, which will have to be thickened. To do this, mix the corn starch with cold water in a separate cup until it is a thick white liquid. Slowly stir this into the stew over heat until it starts to thicken. Cover and allow to simmer on low heat for 5 – 10 more minutes, stirring frequently. Pull the oven off the fire and uncover. Place jumbo biscuits on top of the stew leaving a small gap between the biscuits. Cover the oven and place the oven on a pile of coals, then place coals on the lid. Check periodically until the biscuits are light golden brown.

Not so much. Typically, alluvial deposits of gold are found with a dramatic drop off in density from the site of the deposit to the distance, generally not far, downriver where there remains no traces at all. Various conditions lead to changes in this distance, such as water speed and depth, composition of the riverbed and, of course, the type of the original deposit. Remember, a gold nugget weighs about 19 times that of water, so it's not going to float. Even flakes and dust will eventually get trapped in crevices, if the bed's rocky, or get quickly buried, if it's sandy.
As a physics lesson, remember that objects don't change direction without undergoing an acceleration, so be especially vigilant around bends in the streams.

Similarities – Both Alaskan Natives and California Natives were attacked, slaughtered and pushed off of their lands by travelers.
Differences – Alaska Gold Rush was more significant because there were very few people that left with less than $5,000… some even became millionaires! Also, Alaska's gold is still being mined! In fact, my grandfather and family still run a wealthy gold mine every summer.
In California most travelers left with very little more money than they arrived with.
However I'm not going to do all your homework! Do some research you'll appreciate American History more! Have a good day!

Gold achieved fame for his 1992 paper "The Deep Hot Biosphere" in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which presented a controversial view of the origin of coal, oil, and gas deposits, a theory of an abiogenic petroleum origin. The theory suggests coal and crude oil deposits have their origins in natural gas flows which feed bacteria living at extreme depths under the surface of the Earth; in other words, oil and coal are produced through tectonic forces, rather than from the decomposition of fossils. At the beginning of his 1992 paper Gold also referred to ocean vents that pump bacteria from the depth of the earth towards the ocean floor in support of his views. A number of new such hydrothermal vents have since been discovered, as recently as 2007.
Gold also published a book of the same title in 1999, which expanded on the arguments in his 1992 paper and included speculations on the origin of life. He has been accused of stealing the abiogenic theory outright from Soviet geologists who first published it in the 1950s.
According to Gold and the Soviet geologists who originated the abiogenic theory, bacteria feeding on the oil accounts for the presence of biological debris in hydrocarbon fuels, obviating the need to resort to a biogenic theory for the origin of the latter. The flows of underground hydrocarbons may also explain oddities in the concentration of other mineral deposits.
Most geologists do recognize the geologic carbon cycle includes subducted carbon, which returns to the surface, with studies showing the carbon does rise in various ways. Gold and geology experts point out the biogenic theories do not explain phenomena such as helium in oil fields and oil fields associated with deep geologic features.
However, recent discoveries have shown that bacteria live at depths far greater than previously believed. Though this does not prove Gold's theory, it may lend support to its arguments. A thermal depolymerization process which converts animal waste to carbon fuels does show some processes can be done without bacterial action, but does not explain details of natural oil deposits such as magnetite production.
An article on abiogenic hydrocarbon production in the February 2008 issue of Science Magazine reported how the abiotic synthesis of hydrocarbons in nature may occur in the presence of ultramafic rocks, water, and moderate amounts of heat.
