In honor of the sesquicentennial of the Mariposa County Courthouse and recognition of its continuous use since 1854.

In June 1857 Biddle Boggs vs. Merced Mining made legal mining history and the 1861 cases of Moore vs. Smaw and Fremont vs. Flower opened the door for Congress to pass the first federal mining act of 1866.
