Hi, This is part of Shasta Co., CA taken from the 1885 county directory. Sorry but I have no additional information on these. Only thing is says for sure is if your Ancestor was here in 1885. If there is no occupation it is because none was listed. for this county I can check census if you find a name.

The approach from Shasta is over one of the best roads in the county, the first twelve miles being a toll road, owned by Mr. Charles Camden. French Gulch, although one of the oldest mining towns in Northern California, represented only a shadow of its former importance up to about five years since, when a revival in quartz mining took place, since which time and at present it is the scene of great activity, subsidiary to the town, at a distance of about eight miles, are the famous Deadwood mines. The town has post and telegraph offices, one hotel, two general stores, three saloons, a school house and a church. Population about three hundred.
