Roena, I have a copy of the book "THE CALL OF GOLD", by Newell D. CHAMBERLAIN, Nove. 1936, in which appears the picture of David CLARK's house. Also there is a paragraph which reads: "At about five miles from MARIPOSA, on the left side of the highway, is located the well-preserved residence, built in 1864, of David CLARK, who then operated a saw-mill close by. One and a half miles more brings you to MIDPINES, a mining center close to the rich mining districts of SHERLOCKS Creek, SAXON Creek, SWEETWATER Creek, FELICIANA Mountain, etc. At MIDPINES, there has been erected a monument showigs the exact size of one hundred million dollars of gold, which is approximately the amount of gold mined in MARIPOSA County, in its first fifty years." Included in the book is a mention of Peter FEE's diary in which he states "May, 1858, paid cash to D. CLARK for shingles, 12000, $96." - Good Hunting Harriet -----Original Message----- From: RoenaD@aol.com [mailto:RoenaD@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, October 14, 2000 5:20 PM To: Harriet@madnet.net Subject: (no subject) I have that picture, where did you get it? I'm not quite sure that is the original house, I was told he lived in a shack until he built a proper house for his wife. She didn't come out until 6 years after David came. She wasn't going to come to this wild country until she had something proper to live in. I have pictures of their homes in Mass., they were quite nice. Roena
