Plumas County, California 1885 Directory. ONION VALLEY (See Nelson Point) POOR MAN'S CREEK (See Nelson Point) SAW PIT (See Nelson Point) PIONEER (See Nelson Point) QUINCY A post, express and telegraph office, and the county seat of Plumas county. Connected by stage with Oroville, tri- weekly, and also with Central Pacific Railroad at Reno, Nev., daily. Population six hundred. Elevation 3,416 feet. Quincy is situated in the fertile American Valley where all the small grains and fine fruits are raised. The valley is also a great stock and dairying country, and is peculiarly adapted to the development of fine horses. There are several large mines and saw mills which are actively worked in the vicinity. The town itself is a beautiful place, tastefully laid out, and substantially built in the business quarter, while its residences, as a group and individually, look bright, cosy and elegant. There are tow fine hotels in the town-the Plumas House and the Quincy. The former is a favorite place with travelers in the northeastern portion of the State, who, availing themselves of its comfortable accommodations, generally indulge in a resting spell at Quincy. The Quincy Hotel is also well up in favor and enjoys a good share of public patronage. The Plumas National (weekly) is published here by Mr. Halstead, a gentleman well acquainted with the resources and possibilities of the county. It enjoys a good circulation and patronage.

Plumas County, California 1885 Directory. GREENVILLE Post, express and telegraph office. Situated at an extremity of the beautiful Indian Valley, twenty-eight miles from Quincy. Dependent upon mining and farming. Population 600. Elevation 3544 feet. It possesses an enterprising weekly newspaper (The Bulletin) a good hotel (The Greenville), a large foundry, brewery, bottling works and soda factory, a flour and shingle mill and several other business houses. The Greenville race track is pronounced by horse men one of the best in the state. The Greenville Foundry, owned by Messrs, Bidwell & Watson, is a large establishment with unusual facilities and employs about twelve men. The works has undertaken and completed several large contracts, chief among which is the Green Mountain Company's mill (sixty stamps.) All the manufacturing business and quartz mills of Greenville are run by water power. The Round Valley Water Company's reservoir covers an area of seven hundred acres, and the ditch therefrom traverses eight miles, in which distance it furnishes water for six mills, aggregating one hundred and seventy-five stamps. The Greenville Water Works furnishes the town water supply, and under such pressure that, with the well organized hose company, the town is fully protected against fire. Mr. Bidwell has constructed a telephone from Crescent Mills to Big Meadows, Bidwell's Bridge (where he has a hotel for summer visitors to the fishing grounds.) The line is twenty-two miles long, and touches the principal mines of the neighborhood. The large amount of capital invested in and about Greenville indicates great faith in the locality. The neighborhood is replete with pretty landscapes and the town is only two hours' ride from the most famous trout fishing grounds on the Pacific slope. Adams, W.

There are several Siskiyou County items here. Take a look! Joanne ----- Original Message ----- From: "Betty Loose" <betty@unisette.com> To: <NORCAL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, December 05, 2003 5:34 PM Subject: Sacramento Bee May 6, 1909 Sacramento Bee Wednesday May 6, 1909 SALOON ISSUE IS MOST IMPORTANT Seventy Per Cent of Voters Want Election Called. QUINCY (Plumas Co.), May 6 - The Board of Supervisors has been considering several very important matters this week. The proposition of a new hospital, the High School, and whether it will be submitted to the people; whether Plumas will be "dry" or remain "wet." Attorney H.B. WOLFE, of Quincy, and Attorney HUGHES, of Beckwith, are acting for the saloon men of the county, and Attorney PETER represents the anti-saloon people, who want the issue submitted to a vote. A strong effort will be made to prevent an election and keep the people from expressing their sentiments on the matter. It is reported that Supervisor STEPHAN, of this district, is in favor of not submitting it, as is also Supervisor LAWRENCE, of Beckwith, who is a brother-in-law of HUGHES. While the others have been not expressed themselves, it is thought they will favor submitting it to the people. Over 50 per cent of the qualified electors voting in the last general election have signed the petition to submit the matter to a vote, which represents about 70 per cent of the qualified voters in the county. The Board will decide this week whether or not an election will be held. DROP BOND PROJECT No New School Buildings for Auburn Yet Awhile. AUBURN (Placer Co.), May 6 - The hope that some plan might be evolved whereby the proposition, already twice defeated at the polls, of again submitting the question of a school bond election for new public school buildings in this city to the voters, with the assurance that bonds would carry, has gone a-glimmering, judging by the report of the nine citizens who were selected to interview the voters and get their views. The Committee found that the chances of voting bonds at a third election were no brighter than before, so it is reported now that no further action on the subject will be taken. The idea to build a new Grammar School on the present site of the old buildings on Broad Street, at a cost of $35,000, and a primary building across the racetrack in East Auburn, to cost $5,000, which was informally submitted to many of the voters by a member of the Committee, did not meet with the favor that was expected, so the matter of another bond election for new school buildings has been abandoned, at least for the present. DIED AT MAXWELL MAXWELL (Colusa Co.), May 6 - Mrs. Minerva MAPES died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. William PEER, Tuesday night at 10:45, after a lingering illness, at the age of 87 years. She leaves to mourn her loss two daughters residing in Maxwell, a son who lives at Elk Creek, another at Red Bluff, a third in Turlock, and a daughter in Los Angeles, besides numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The funeral will be held from the family residence on Olive Street Thursday afternoon. MORE CHILDREN WEAVERVILLE (Trinity Co.), May 6 - Weaverville is increasing slightly in population, according to the school census. The district this year has 138 children, a gain of 13 over last year's number. Girl Rides Mile in Racing Time Without a Saddle or Bridle, to Summon Help to Fight a Fire. LEWISTON (Trinity Co.), May 6 - Miss Ollie DAWSON's bareback ride of a mile, made on a horse around whose neck she threw a halter, saved Mrs. L.F. PAULSEN $5,000 worth of property yesterday afternoon. Mrs. PAULSEN's two-story dwelling and hotel, a historic stopping place a mile west of Lewiston, was discovered to be on fire at 12:30 yesterday afternoon. Sparks from a chimney that had just burned out started a blaze near the comb of the roof. Mrs. PAULSEN's son, Henry PAULSEN, and James BROWN were the only men on the premises. Miss Ollie DAWSON, a domestic, saw the need of summoning help from Lewiston, a mile away. She tried to telephone, but she got no answer from the Lewiston end. She was quick to act in the emergency. Running out into the barnyard, she threw a rope over the neck of the first horse she came to, bounded upon his back and away she flew down the road to Lewiston with the speed of a Paul Revere. Arriving at Lewiston she gave the alarm. Fortunately, there were several vehicles in the town at the time. Into these tumbled twenty-five men, and in a jiffy they were on their way to the burning home, the drivers whipping up the horses to their top speed. No one held a stop watch, but it was surprising how quickly help came from Lewiston - thanks to Miss DAWSON. The house, having caught fire on the comb of the roof, burned downward slowly. There is a good water system there and streams were playing on the flames as soon as there were men to handle the hose. Those not fighting the fire helped to carry out furniture form the lower story. The fight with the fire lasted one full hour and when it was over the second story of the PAULSEN home-hotel was gone, but the first story remained intact. A building three feet away was not damaged. The one-story ell, containing dining-room and kitchen, was unharmed. Mrs. PAULSEN estimated her loss at $2,000, fully covered by insurance. The value of the building that is left and the furniture and family stoves that were saved is estimated at $5,000. But for Miss DAWSON's bareback ride that brought help from a mile away so speedily all would have been lost. A.E. PAULSEN, manager of Mrs. PAULSEN's store at Deadwood, heard the telephone call for help that was sent to Lewiston, although it was not heard there. He jumped into the delivery wagon in front of the store and drove to his mother's burning home in thirty minutes - six miles down a steep mountain grade. He was in time to lend a strong hand during the last half of the hard fight with the fire. BONES OF MASTADON FOUND IN CLAY BY HYDRAULIC MINERS FORT JONES (Siskiyou Co.), May 6 - At the Wright & Fletcher mine at Oro Fino this week miners dug out many bones of prehistoric animals of enormous size, supposedly the mastodon, from a clay deposit just above bedrock. The largest fragment uncovered was a portion of a leg bone, about three feet long. The bones soon crumbled when exposed to the air. At different times in years past bones of prehistoric monsters have been uncovered, both in Quartz Valley, but never in such a condition that they could be preserved. One skeleton uncovered showed a length of twenty-seven feet. FAMOUS EASTLICK MINES TO BE SOLD FORT JONES (Siskiyou Co.), May 6 - The Eastlick hydraulic mines, pipe, gravel and ditches of Oro Fino are up for sale. Mention has been made in The Bee of these mines. They have, with the Wright & Fletcher, adjoining property, been a valuable asset to this country for over fifty years. During that time they have doubtless added $1,000,000 or more to the metallic wealth and yet are splendid properties. Lafe EASTLICK, the principal owner, as reported in The Bee, has been insane for about a year, with little, if any grounds for recovery. Owing to his illness, the mines have not been worked for many months. A rumor is out that Gardner & Wood will purchase the mines and two ditches and at once put the property in shape to open up work. Gardner worked ground above the Eastlick for a number of years and made considerable money and knows well the property for sale, having been interested at one time in it. BAD CHECK PLAN Sheriff McAulay Exposes Record of Birlotta AUBURN (Placer Co.), May 6 - According to Sheriff McAULAY, the Italian, BIRLOTTA, who was arrested in East Auburn on last Tuesday afternoon on the charge of attempting to pass a spurious check for $227.25 at N.J. COHEN's store, a full account of which appeared in Wednesday's Bee, has attempted the same kind of work before. McAULAY gave the prisoner a severe sweating after his arrest, and it is reported that the Italian admitted his guilt in the COHEN transaction, and then, on being pressed, went further and admitted that while employed by the Southern Pacific Company on the section line near Weimar, in this county, he raised a check from $18 to $98 and passed it on a fellow-countryman near Landers Station, just above Weimar. The Italian's hobby seems to be the raising of checks from small amounts to those of much larger denomination, but his work is so crude that it seems hardly possible that he could expect to work his game successfully. It is expected that BIRLOTTA will have his preliminary examination on the COHEN transaction within a few days in this city. SHEEP EN ROUTE TO SUMMER RANGE RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), May 6 - The first band of sheep to start for the Summer range is that of L.L. McCOY. There are 14,000 in the lot and they were divided into three droves and will be from fifteen to twenty days on the trip, which covers fully 150 miles. They are to be driven to Grasshopper Lake, in Lassen County, via Hat Creek Pass. The season seems to be far enough advanced for feed in the mountains and leaving the Winter range now gives the feed a chance to develop and assure good feed upon their return in the Fall. PROPOSE JOINT SALOON DEBATE Royal Arch and Temperance Speakers May Meet HORNBROOK (Siskiyou Co.), May 6 - The third week of the Anti-saloon League's campaign in Siskiyou county closes with two men in different parts of the field - Professor BURKE in Hornbrook, Little Shasta, Edgewood and Dunsmuir, and C.T. WEBB of Greenview, in Hilts, Scott Bar, Happy Camp and Hamburg. WEBB is the creator of the "Dry Siskiyou League." His subject is "Fire Water and the Babies" while BURKE's has been "Boys or Booze." J.M. GLASS of Pasadena will hold an independent series of no-license meetings in the county next week, speaking in Montague May 13th, Little Shasta May 14th, Hilts May 15th, and Hornbrook May 16th. It is reported that at its meeting in Fort Jones on Wednesday evening of last week the Royal Arch of Siskiyou County decided to secure a speaker of its own to present its side of the case in the towns where the Anti-Saloon League meetings have been held. BURKE offers to come from Oakland and pay all expenses for the privilege of a joint debate in any town or towns of the county. It is said that if the plan of the Royal Arch is carried out it will be the first campaign of its kind in the anti-saloon fight in the country. The local meeting addressed by BURKE on Tuesday night was held in COPPIN's Hall after all; the owner having reconsidered his refusal to rent it for the occasion. David HORN, the chairman, had planned for a large attendance, and was not disappointed. Hornbrook has 176 registered voters, and last Fall J.L. COYLE presented a petition from this precinct to the Board of Supervisors asking for an election of the license issue, which petition was rejected by the Board. O'CONNOR, the member for this district, saying that if one man only wanted a license he ought to have it. Hornbrook has five saloons. HEAR FROM FOSTER Secretary of State Board of Health on New Laws. MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), May 6 - Before taking final adjournment yesterday the members of the Board of Supervisors received a communication from Secretary FOSTER of the State Board of Health calling their attention to several new laws adopted by the recent Legislature in the interests of purer food. The enactment in regard to proper sanitation for food-producing and distributing plants, the law calling upon every person to kill all rats, mice, gophers, squirrels, etc., on their premises, the section making the appointment of a County Health Officer mandatory, and the amendment providing for the levying of a half mill special sanitary on each dollar valuation outside cities and incorporated towns, are brought to the Supervisor's notice with recommendation to act. The matter was laid over until the June meeting. GRADUATION DATE MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), May 6 - Friday evening, June 25th, in all probability, will be the time for the graduating exercises of the Marysville High School class of ë09. It is planned to bring a noted speaker from some one of the colleges about the Bay for the occasion and to have a first-class orchestra to fill in between literary numbers. There will be nineteen in the class, which makes it the largest in the history of the Marysville schools. The original number was twenty-one, but Cupid stopped in and took two to Hyman's shrine. ATTEMPTS SUICIDE MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), May 6 - Jack NELSON, a stranger suffering from the effects of an extended spree, attempted suicide last evening by cutting his throat with a pocket knife, but the wound was not deep enough to be fatal. NELSON, when found in an alley, was weak from the loss of blood, and was carried to the city prison in a wagon. Later he was taken to the County Hospital. It is thought he will get over his suicidal mania as soon as he is given treatment to counteract the results of his spree. GAMBLES AWAY HIS WIFE AND CHILD WHEN COIN IS GONE FORT JONES (Siskiyou Co.), May 6 - For some time it has been a question in the minds of people of this neighborhood as to how Jack DAN had gained possession of Johnny McCASH's wife and child. It has now developed that Dan and McCASH got into a friendly card game - Indian style - and when money ran out, McCASH put up his wife and little boy. The cards all ran DAN's way and he soon became possessed of a family. As the game had been fairly played, the stakes were promptly turned over to the lucky gambler, and all is serene in the Indian settlement of Quartz Valley. George McCASH, a grown son of John, took a wife from among the Hoopaw maidens two years ago. The young wife had ideas of her own and soon left her husband. George went to her father and demanded his money back, but, as he had lived for a season with the maid, he finally compromised the matter and allowed the father to keep $10 of the $50 he had paid. MARTIN IS HELD Vina Horse Thief, Caught at Chico, Must Appear. RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), May 6 - Constable HARPER came up from Vina with Frank MARTIN on yesterday afternoon's train and he is now confined in the County Jail on a charge of grand larceny, with bonds fixed at $500, to appear before the Superior Court. Martin came to the Stanford ranch near Vina last Friday, as told in The Bee, to get work caring for stock as he had been formerly employed there. He was not successful and during the night took a good horse and new saddle and left. The horse was turned into a field near Durham and MARTIN returned to Chico, where he was arrested. The young fellow is not strong mentally. ASSAULT TO MURDER Two Charged with Stabbing Another During Quarrel. RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), May 6 - Charles GREEN and John JONES were taken before Justice LUDEMAN yesterday afternoon and May 11th was named as the date for their preliminary hearing. These two young men were mixed up with three others at the Wilson saloon Saturday evening and JONES stabbed one of the trio with a pocket knife. The man who was cut gives his name as John O'BRIEN and Tuesday he swore to a complaint at the County Hospital before Justice LUDEMAN, charging JONES and GREEN with assault with intent to commit murder. The defendents asked for a few days in order to get funds to retain an attorney for their examination ______________________________
