Hi Nancy, I missed the querrie- I don't know if any of these could be a match but hopefully might help . Guddes_California Gold Camps_ lists GOLD BAR (Nevada) On the south fork of Yuba River. Peter Decker mined here with good success in the summer of 1850 GOLD BAR (Placer) On the Middle Fork of American River, six miles east of Auburn. There was gold mining with intermittent success from the early 1850's. In 1875 a Gold Bar Mining Company with a capital of 10 million dollars was incorporated. In Guddes _California Place Names_ there is just this: In Death Valley national Monument are Goldbelt Springs and Goldbar. Neither one mentions one in Trinity. But a USGS on line search:http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html mentions GOLD BAR in Trinity, the GOLD BAR mine in Los Angeles County, the GOLD BAR Mine in Siskiyou, and the GOLD BAR PORTAL mine in San Bernadino.
