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.
