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 town was established in 1872, and has now a population of 250. Elevation, 3,100 feet. Supported by stock interests -- cattle and horse raising principally. The country within a radius within thirty-five or forty miles is supplied principally with flour and grain from Fall River Valley, and the extensive area of fine land in the valley is capable of a much larger production. The town possesses a hotel, general store, flouring mill, livery stable, door and sash factory, wagon shop, saw mill, at the head of the valley, and several smaller businesses. The flouring mill is of eighty barrels per day capacity and has a market for its flour in three counties. The cost of the mill was $20,000. The water power at this point is very great, being, as Mr. Winter, the mill owner says, capable of running all the factories in California. The river here has a fall of fifty feet in nine hundred. The trout fishing here is excellent, especially in the spring and summer. The traveling public and fishing excursionists will find the hotel at the Mills a comfortable place to stop at. It is newly furnished and provides a good bill of fare. The planing mill manufactures doors and sash extensively, at San Francisco prices. This establishment is a boon to new settlers and builders in this section. The mill is ran by water. A furniture department is contemplated. Adams, Charles B. - blacksmith Adams, F.
