One day in 1848 Mr.Sutter made a remarkable discovery in the American River in California by his house.He noticed some bright yellow pieces in the water and bent down to pick them up.This was the beginning of the Californian Gold Rush.

Sutter realized the importance of the discovery.He sent a man to San Francisco to see the governor.

The people of San Francisco did not believe him at first.But a reporter of a weekly newspaper there went to Sutter’s house to make a report.When he came back he ran through the streets of the town shouting,“Gold!Gold!”

The Gold Rush proved a disaster for Sutter himself.For years he tried to stop the people from digging his land.They did a great deal of damage(损害)and killed one of his sons,and at the end of his life he was a poor man who continually stopped people in the street to tell them that gold is the devil(恶魔).
