>From "LEAVES OF THE PAST" by Ruth Hitchcock "TUSCAN SPRINGS (Lick Springs) A popular health resort and hotel located nine miles east of Red Bluff at the head of Little Salt Creek. The area was surrounded by rugged cliffs, forming a natural protection from the winds and elements and gave a feeling of security, warmth and tranquility. This 240 acre spring area had probably been used for many years by the native Indians. The area was discovered in 1854 by Dr. John A. Veatch, who after analyzing the waters, found them to contain excellent medicinal qualities. Here he also discovered borax in 1856, the first to be found in California. The springs were first called "Lick Springs", but were changed by Dr. Veatch to "Tuscan", named after the borax fumaroles of Tuscany, Italy. Veatch sold an interest in the property in 1856 to J. M. Meador, a brothr of Meridith, and May 31, 1856 Meador sold the property to major J. C. Bradley. Bradley, a Mexican War vet, operated the hotel of 68 rooms, the corrals, bath houses and 29 cottages which were heated and lighted by natural gas piped from a nearby spring. The resort was reached by stage which ran every other day from Red Bluff, and with the coming of the railroad in 1872, the stage met the trains each day. Telegraphic and later telephonic service was established as well as a post office. Bradley conducted the hotel and health resort until his death in 1875 when the business was continued by his widow and son and then sold to W. E. Perry of Sacramento. This resort had many other lessees which included Dr. John A. Allen and Dr. Olendorf in 1862. Lintz and Edwards in 1870 and J. H. Disher in 1879. On July 22, 1887 the springs were purchased by Edward B. Walbridge, a successful businessman from Red Bluff and under his management gained wide fame. Walbridge enlarged the hotel to three stories, which housed 125 quests, with some 108 rooms, each with running hot and cold water. There were also two dining rooms and kitchens, a billiard room, bar and club rooms all erected at a cost of $72,000. Improvements were also made on the bathhouses and a swiming pool, heated by natural gas found nearby. In 1898 Walbridge also began his bottling works for "Tuscan Springs Mineral Water" which he selected from some fifty springs on the property. He also introduced a cleaning compound, noninjurious to the hands, to be used in cleaning tubs, basins, painted surfaces, etc.. With the coming of the auto, an auto-car, which carried eight persons for a fare of $1.00, ran each day from Red Bluff. Fire consumed the structure on August 12, 1899, starting from a leaking gas pipe. This fire cost the life of Belle McKenzie, a sister of Isaac McKenzie, who was a guest there. After turning down an offer of $100,000 from Southern Pacific Co., Walbridge again rebuilt. This new hotel was ever larger, having four stories and 150 guest rooms, and was erected at a cost between $50,000 - $60,000 and covered some 40,000 sq. feet. Additional bath houses were added in 1906, but the new structure was short lived as fire struck again in Sept. 1912 and despite $27,000 of insurance, it was never rebuilt. Two caretakers lived there for several years and the property remained in the hands of the widow and the court. In 1928 oil was discovered near the springs, but the venture was short lived. During World War II, soap and other articles were made from the minerals extracted from the springs. Mr. Van Neher of San Francisco purchased the property in 1930 with the hopes of rebuilding, but because of ill health, his dreams were not realized. All that remains today are broken tanks, pillars and a palm tree." Tuscan buttes can be easily spotted just east of Red Bluff. >Hello. I am trying to get more information about Tuscan Springs.

After many years of despair, and after losing hope of ever finding my grandmother, I think I'm finally on to something! My grandmother Gladys/Julia Johnson was born 3 Nov 1900 in Red Bluff, CA. She was orphaned at an early age, and raised by relatives/foster families (WICKS/SPENCER). It's possible that one or more adoptions occurred. Until recently I didn't have much hope of finding info on her -- not easy with a name like Johnson. Now, thanks to an alert reader who turned me on to the Lingenfelter Archives, I have hope again! Here's the family I'm looking at: (Info from Lingenfelter Archives) DAVID J (PEGLEG) JOHNSON Born Wales died intestate near Susanville April 5, 1904 married Martha Jane Treadwell born France 1829 died Mountain Meadows, near Westwood Oct 12, 1864 Children: RALPH W JOHNSON died Mountain Meadows Sept 26, 1884 ELIZABETH ANN JOHNSON born Missouri April 19, 1853 died Red Bluff July 21, 1931 married George W Howard. Elizabeth in Tehama Co 67 years MARY JANE JOHNSON born Quincey, Illinois 1845 died Jan 25, 1947 married J A Heckle born Ft Smith, Arkansas JOHN WESLEY JOHNSON born Illinois (Iowa) May 26, 1851 died Burney August 15, 1908 (Will June 15, 1908) married 1st Tehama Co July 12, 1880 Mrs Mary J (Maite) Gurnsey born New York 1852 (a divorcee) died Red Bluff Jan 11, 1893; he married 2nd Tehama Co April 19, 1893 Mrs Katie Wilcox born Calif 1868 It looks like David "Pegleg" Johnson and family arrived about 1864. I'm hoping that with a name like Pegleg, he left his mark (if not his leg!) somewhere along the line. What happened to John Wesley Johnson? Did his second wife, Mrs. Katie Wilcox Johnson, die at the same time, or earlier? Why did my grandmother end up with her cousin, Mary Howard Hicks, daughter of Elizabeth Ann Johnson Howard. Was there an adoption? Why didn't my grandmother ever know the names of her natural parents? She would have been nearly eight years old when her father died. I would very much appreciate hearing from anyone with connections to this Johnson family, or ancillary families of HICKS, SPENCER, WILCOX, HOWARD, GURNSEY, TREADWELL. I REALLY want to fill in this big hole on my family tree! Thank you in advance for your time, Lisa L. Jones mailto:lljones@teleport.com
