Bob, I know that many you are anxious about mining claims. I am working on it, but it takes time to compose, because there are four different records in which they were kept and I need to double check some of the records. As I originally mentioned, researching mining claims is a true adventure. But I am promise it will have it posted soon. However, in my twenty plus years of research, I have never heard of a peanut shop and this is the only time I even seen a reference to such. I recently completed reading the Quincy Union newspaper from 1864-1868. And the only time there was a reference to a peanut shop, was just in that one article. It must be some type of slang, is all that I can think of, but for what I do not know.
