Duryea, William H. DEEDS Book 6 p391 Wm. Bloomers to W. C. Dureyea,
recorded July 12, 1860.
IW Research Notes: William H. Duryea in 1869 began buying up all
the gold mines around Red Dog, thereby causing the many "small" miners
who sold to him to leave the area, thereby reducing the business of
the merchants in that previously prosperous town, so that, one by one,
they also left town (in most cases tearing down their buildings and
taking them with then). This caused the town to become rapidly
abandoned. The few merchants who sold their buildings and the lots on
which they stood sold to Duryea, who obviously intended to mine the
ground on which the business district had stood, since it still is
gold-bearing gravel (he never did mine it out, it is still there). Wm
Duryea left Red Dog about 1875 with a very large fortune fran gold
taken from the Red Dog and other mines. The Deed, by which he disposed
of his last piece of Red Dog property was date-lined San Francisco,
although he may have been only stopping there while he cleaned up his
affairs, before going back to his home in the eastern states. This
last DEED from San Francisco was buying the last operating store and
lot from its two owners who were and had been for years, the local
Justice of the Peace and local Constable, and who would have the TOWN
RECORDS of Red Dog in their possession, since almost everybody else
had left the town by that time (1871). Duryea, specifically states in
this last Deed that all Records, Books, Accounts, Papers etc. are to
be transmitted to him, along with the store. Mr. White felt that
these records would be of historical significance if they could be
found.
NI September 9, 1866 p3cl: Nevadan Injured. A San Francisco
telegram to the SACRAMENTO UNION of yesterday, says that Duryea of
Nevada City (we suppose it should be Wn. Duryea of Red Dog.) was
thrown out of a carriage on Montgomery Street, on Friday and badly
injured, his upper lip being cut open, and his head striking the steps
of a building with such force as to render him insensible.
