    1. [CA-GOLDRUSH-L] D.G. Ostrom
    2. In 1850 a D.G. Ostrom wrote a letter from along the Sacramento River, Mourie Hill, further described as 5 miles from the City (did not say which city). He wrote the letter to a Joseph Devore and in it he mentioned a William Ostrom (which I do not know if it was his son or brother. I realize the description he gave is a little off. According to the letter he was a freight hauler as he stated he took a load to Marysville which was 55 miles from the City.and that he had no hills to climb, Any help on this D.G. Ostrom and and area in which he is talking about would be greatfully appreciated.

    1. [CA-GOLDRUSH-L] Wintering at Secret Ravine - Northern Mines - 1851/52
    2. Howdy, Let's again join our 49er H.C. GARDINER in October, 1851: "As our prospecting at Mormon Bar was not encouraging....I resolved to locate for the winter at SECRET RAVINE, some four or five miles from Horse Shoe Bar. Accordingly, I went over one day to spy out the land and prepare an abiding place. Very fortunately I discovered and pre-empted an abandoned log cabin eligibly located on a small mound contiguous to a spring of water. The cabin was about 10 x 12 feet and had evidently been built by expert woodsmen. It had an excellent fireplace and chimney. The door and canvas roof had been carried away; otherwise the building was intact, even to the rafters and ridgepole. "Much pleased with my prospective habitation, I returned to my old quarters at Whiskey Bar with the intention of immediate removal to Secret Ravine. The cloth of my old tent was much worn and unfit to turn rain, so I decided to reinforce it with a FLY or second roof, which would render the cabin impervious to water. Procuring a bolt of canvas at the store, and being an expert in the use of a palm and needle, I soon completed an excellent fly, which together with the old tent-cover, household goods, and mining utensils, were packed on the mule and coveyed to the new residence. "As everything was ready for the cover, it did not require much time to make the cabin habitable. The roof was soon placed in position, and by night a new door was hung, a bedstead made, the place thoroughly swept, and my traps moved in. Auger holes were bored in the logs and wooden pins driven, which afforded support for shelves on which were placed dishes, books, and papers. When all was arranged, I felt proud of my new dwelling, wherein I was esconsed as snug as a bug in a rug:-) "The fireplace was spacious, and took in sticks four feet long; moreover there was an excellent draft to the chimney, and no trouble from smoke. The cabin was isolated, being over a mile from the nearest habitation. Firewood was plenty and conveniently handy, so that with a riata hitched to the horn of the saddle, I drew in one day an immense pile of dead wood, and there was no need of economy in fuel, a good fire was kept burning continually, which soon dried the damp earth of the floor and made the place confortable. "In the ravine, about 20 rods[1 rod = 5 1/2yds], I discovered a deserted CLAIM which had probably been worked by the former occupants of the cabin. There I set my crade and began work. The gold was very fine, almost impalpable dust, but was heavy and easily saved. The claim, which was in the center of the ravine, was wet. It filled up every night and required half my time during the day to keep it free of water; nevertheless, up to the time when steady rains came,.I made fair wages...Though my claim was difficult to work....I stuck to it till driven out by the rains. Thereafter, I was idle a good part of the time, and passed the hours reading, writing, and eating, when not eating.... "Once a fortnight I ran up and passed a few hours with [Placer]county clerk [Abraham] BRONK at Auburn, which was only five miles distant. His office was the rendezvous for the lawyers at the county seat, and whenever I visited him, I always carried home a supply of books and periodicals that had accumulated in his quarters. These were very acceptable, as they served to interest me during the long winter evenings."( "In Pursuit of the Golden Dream - Reminiscences of San Francisco and the Northern And Southern Mines, 1849 - 1857 by Howard C. Gardiner",ed. Dale L.Morgan, (Western Hemisphere,Inc. MCMLXX). Again, EMERSON <[email protected]> thanks for telling me about this book. Now that really appeals to me:-))) Bob Norris in Dallas <BNorris166aol.com>

Fall, James Gould and James O'Donnell at Mill City, Nevada, where they owned a foundry and machine shop that made a specialty of mining machinery. At that time Governor Fall was operating the mines at Unionville and Star Peak, and he and his associates had other mines in operation north of Mill City and the Rye Patch group.

    1. [CA-GOLDRUSH-L] Dutch Oven Bread &c. - Northern Mines - 1851
    2. Howdy, Let's join our 49er Howard C. GARDINER as he delves into the culinary arts:-)): "It was at Whiskey Bar[ up from Horse Shoe Bar toward Auburn] that I first undertook systematic housekeeping. I lived alone... The greatest difficulty was making bread:-) The rest was comparatively easy, and except in bread-making, I soon became expert in the cuisine department. I could cook pork and beans, fry ham, boil potatoes, manufacture a pork stew, concoct coffee, and toss slap-jacks 'secudum artem,' but bread was for a long time beyond my capacity. Simple as it seems, the preparation and baking [of] a batch of bread is no easy matter. Time after time, after mixing the ingredients with the utmost care, kneading the dough and setting it to rise till it reached a proper state of fermentation, then placing the loaf in the Dutch Oven with glowing coals beneath and on the lid, I would watch it carefully, and at intervals probe it with a stick to see if it was done; yet, when the loaf was turned out upon the table, it invariably proved a LAP STONE:-), heavy and indigestible. Finally, however, when I caught the knack, my previous failures were incomprehensible. My bread was excellent. The loaf when placed in the oven would gradually rise up, up, up, til it fairly raised the cover, and when taken out was light as a feather. Sourdough, left in the pan at the previous baking, was used for YEARS, and after I once got the hang of it, I always had good bread...." "A fifty-pound sack of flour lasted five weeks, hence my consumption of bread and slap-jack required ten pounds a week. Provisions were sold at reasonable rates, and I lived well, far better than at any previous period in California. Never a hearty eater, my wants were easily satisfied. Coffee, fried ham, fried sweet potatoes, with bread and butter, usually constituted my breakfast. Dinner was a pick-up meal, but supper was more elaborate. Salmon were then caught in the river, and fried salmon was no uncommon dish. Taken all in all, my life at Horse Shoe Bar was a pleasant one" We need a place for the winter; how about Secret Ravine? It's only 4 or 5 miles from Horse Shoe:-), Bob Norris in Dallas BNorris166aol.com
