ADDENDA—
It is understood that the above-named boundary, running north from Bear River, will pass
between Rough and Ready and Penn Valley; and in the event that a line due north from
said point on said river should fail to do so, it will deviate so far as to include said valley
in the reservation, and exclude Rough and Ready.
Treaty of Bear River, May 1850 Art. 5: Indians “are guaranteed the free use of the gold
mines, and a full value of their labor in working the same, without charge or hindrance;
and any contract made between the Indians and whites, before competent witnesses, shall
be recoverable before any court of competent jurisdiction.”
