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.
