Moses Rodgers

Moses Logan Rodgers (c. 1835–October 22, 1900)[1] was an African American pioneer of California, arriving in 1849, during the California Gold Rush.

Five main shafts and over 10,000 feet of underground workings brought the gold/silver ore to the surface where it was handsorted and then sent by wagon to the mine's concentration mill.

A Merced newspaper said of Rodgers that "there is no better mining man in the State.
