By the end of 1852, six months after the establishment in San
Francisco of the main office, Wells, Fargo & Co. had spread
its express and banking services well into California's
gold-mining country. Of the more than two hundred million dollars'
worth of gold produced in California since the arrival of the forty-niners,
most had come from the Mother Lode belt, including Columbia and
Sonora.
