The original cemetery they came from. most have no dates. In 1942 the US Bureau of Reclamation removed and reinterred the human remains found in the area which was to be flooded by Shasta Lake.

Today in History: from the Redding Record Searchlight June 1900 July 1st a corporation was formed to develop the Recorder and Town Creek mines near Copper City. It was called the Pioneer Gold, Silver and Copper Mining Co. 2nd a front-page advertisement in Redding's Morning Searchlight read, "It's all profit after the first year if you buy property in Keswick. The earnings of the improvements on the property will pay for themselves and the land too." 3rd the price of the Iron Mountain Mine property for the year was fixed by the assessor at $1.75 million. 4th city trustees took a step they hoped would result in Redding being a well-sewered city with beautiful streets. The city attorney was instructed to examine the law as to bonding the city for street and sewer improvements. 5th the new town of Sallee, near Bully Hill Mine, was soon to have a second hotel. Henry Stacher was contemplating the building's construction and H. Briggs was drawing plans for the structure. 6th the county assessor completed his work on the assessment roll of property in Shasta County for the year. The 1,157,064 acres of land within the county was assessed at a little more than $3,645,000. 7th the Shasta Express was stopped three times near Anderson by grass fires. The fires were ignited by sparks from a fright train locomotive that was ahead of the passenger train by a few minutes. 8th if recommendations made by officers of the state Board of Health were acted on, Redding would have a new method of disposal of its sewage and several other radical changes would be made to benefit the city. 9th excavating for the smelter at Bully Hill was to start soon. Alex Graham of Redding was awarded the contract for the work. 10th an option for a bond on the Minnesota Mine on Spring Creek was coming up. Dan McCarthy of Keswick was still working the mine successfully under his lease. Janie my Shasta Site http://famos.freeyellow.com/cemetery.html my card http://www.rosescafe.net/cards/friend13.html

Today in History: from the Redding Record Searchlight June 1900 11th Ben Swasey, a miner and pioneer of Shasta County, was in Redding from his home near Shasta. He reported that he had 15 tons of ore from the dump of the Kit Carson Mine ready to be sent the Keswick smelters. He believed it would average $10 per ton. 12th there was a rich strike reported at the Black Spider Mine near Keswick. A 3-foot vein of ore was encountered that sampled close to $300 per ton. 13th George Johnson and John Richards had a thrilling experience and a narrow escape when a bolt of lightning struck the road just ahead of the team they were driving. The team was temporarly blinded and both men were knocked unconscious, but neither was injured. 14th three "hobos" Joe Williams, James Daily and James Black, were sentenced to 60 days imprisonment each for stealing beer from Kahny & Burgbacher's bottling works in Redding. 15th two men died in an accident on the McCloud River Railroad. The men were crushed while attempting to stop wood from sliding down a hill next to a track. Three cars of the train were completely wrecked. 16th with Redding as the central point, a topographic map of the immediate region was to be made under instructions from the director of the geographical survey. The territory included was to reach north to Slatonis, south to Cottonwood, east to Oak Run and west to Olinda. 17th the first fire in several months in Redding burned down Bert Rogers' home on Tehama and Liberty Streets, which was then considered north Redding. 18th preparations were being made for the early run of salmon at the U.S. fishery at Baird on the McCloud River. The River was closed to salmon going upstream by racks placed in the river near the hatchery house. A large trap was placed in the dam to catch salmon so the number and condition of the fish could be noted from day to day. 19th a deal was closed allowing the Redding Water Co. to buy the franchise, underground pipe and unused pipes of Groves Water Co. for $1,000. 20th the Board of Fire Commissioners was considering an offer for the establishment of an electric fire alarm system in Redding and the offer appeared to be quite reasonable.

Hello Janie and all, On our vacation we didn't even make it to Shasta County. We decided this would be a separate trip. When we were in Sacramento I went to the BLM office and got the Survey Map I needed to find my Greatgrand Father's Homestead he had in 1893. For years we were told that it was under the lake. It is not. For reference I have included a on-line map as I need some direction from locals. http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=40.7123&lon=-122.13&s=100&size=s If you will go to the map and look for the #1, its east of Pine Grove and above Hwy. 299. Their is the large word East and to the right of that a small word east, right below in that section under the small word east is where the Homestead was located. He gave his address as Leighton Post Office, isn't that pretty far away in miles? or was that usual in those days. When he naturalized in 1884 he gave his address as N Cow Creek. When he was applying for his Homestead, it said he and family left and came back from a job and continued to make improvements. I noticed that Corondo Mine is a N. Cow Creek. I had heard that he worked in a mine. Do you have any info on the Corondo Mine? I am also told by an old living Aunt, that they lost the Homestead. So, now my next area of search is to find out about that. I am wondering if there is an address for that location. Does anyone know about that area? BLM, said that the land description stays the same forever. We had a great trip dispite the heat! Jean Hehn
Still looking for any information on the Wilz surname in the Shasta City area ,late 1800's to early 1900's. Sincerely, Donna Patterson IttyBkShp@aol.com <A HREF="http://patterson.family.homepage.com">http://patterson.family.homepag e.com</A>
Wow Janie, what wonderful posts. I had never realized there were towns under Shasta lake! I know it makes sense since that is usually what happens when dams are built, but I had never thought about it until now. Great job!

This ends the towns As taken from the Book "The Dictionary of Early Shasta County History" 2nd Edition by Dottie Smith: A small description about most settlements is explained in the book. Towns/Settlements. Listed are all the towns settlements plus places that could have been a little more than just a stopping place or a place beside the road, or a railroad siding with a little settlement and a post office, or even a district. The date will be the established date unless otherwise stated. Tamarac - aka Whitmore NE of Redding Taylor - 1897 Keswick area Texas Springs - 1857 west of Redding Thelma - aka Taylor Tower House - 1852 west Redding Toyon - 1855 Shasta Lake area, aka Seaman's Place, US Reservation Tuttle Town/Gulch - 1850 Cottonwood area U.
