CREAM MOST PERFECT MADE, G Cr of Tartar ee fn sm xy thera SKETCH OF NEVADA COUNTY. . From the Directory Published’ in 1856, by Brown & Dallison. We herewith begin the publication of the history of Nevada county, written by Hon. A. A. Sargent in 1855. We ‘shall publish it in full, from time to time, as we can give it place in the TRaNscrirr: The county of Nevada was organized by anact of the Legislature, approved May 18, 1851. Before that time it had heen a part of Yuba county, but the growth of population and business, and the distance of the courts fcr the trial of important criminal and civil business, prompted the citizens of this ‘part of Yuba county to move in the Legislature for a separate county, organization. The application was successful,—Henry Miller, J. N. Turner, Je Bs Crandall, J. S. Allen, and Amos T. Laird, of Nevada, were appointed by the act in question to designate election precincts, appoint inspectors of election, receive returns,’ and issue certificates of election. ‘The election of the first officers of the county took ‘place on the fourth Monday of May, 1851, and T. H. Caswell was chosen County Judge; J. R. McConnell, District Attorney; Theodore Miller, County Clerk; John Gallagher, Sheriff; C. Marsh, County Surveyor; T. G Williams, Assessor and H.C. Hodge, Treasurer. The vote of the county cast at that election was about two thousand and nine hundred. The very earliest settlement of which we can obtain a trace in the territory now known as Nevada county, was in the sum-= mer of 1848, at_a place known as Rose’s Corral, between what is now the Anthony House and Bridgeport. A man named Rose here built an adob house, in. which he traded with the Indians ‘of the neighborhood, and built a corral, The spot is now in ruins, and has been but little used since —the location not being valuable for the purpose of trade,. as the country became more fully developed.and no mines having been discovered in the vicinity. Rose also gave his name to a bar on the Yuba, Early in the spring of 1849 a company. of Orgonians—old mountaineers, known as Greenwood & Co., in which were also some ‘of Stephenson’s regiment—followed up the South Yuba. They creviced for gold from what is now called Illinois Bar up to Washington, Some emigrants from Indiana, who arrived in 1849 at Sacramento, followed in their trail, and worked along the river . steadily and with much success, with rockers. In the fall of 1849 they stopped at Washington. -Greenwood & Co. stepped at Jofferaon, which place was then known as 4‘Greenwood’s Camp;” and Washington, as ‘The Indiana’ Boys’ Camp.” The winter was very severe, and the snow fell to a great depth, so that little ein, could be done till spring. In August, 1849, an Oregon trader by the name of Findley, commenced a store near Bear River, near what is now known as Storms’ Ranch on the old emigrant trail, to trade with the emigrants. Findley was an old mountaineer, inured to hardships, and had three times crossed the plains to Oregon, at 4 time when the passage was as much more difficult than it is at present as the route to Panama was in 1849 more‘than it is since the completion of the railroad. Findley sold out his establishment to one Brooks, by whose name it is at present known. In September, 1849, David Bovyer established himself.on the South Yuba, near Jones’ Crossing, fer the purpose of trading with the Indians, and moved in October.of the same year to White Oak Springs. The only places in the county that date back as far as 1849, that are at present, of importance, are Nevada City, Grass Valley, Rough and Ready, Washington and Jefferson. As late as August, 1850, Washington was the highest point on the South Yuba at which gold had been discovered, and a large population centered in that place and at Jefferson, giving-to these points an air of importance that has never been regained. Washington, atthe September election, 1855, cast one hundred and eighty-three votes, and Jefferson fifty-three, In August, 1850, the miners at that part of the South Yuba numbered fully one thousand. They had remained there since the spring, or gathered in since, waiting for the water to fall, to turn the river, and prospect their claims. Dams and were constructed at a prodigious expense in those days. The success of werking in the banks gave encouragement for these undertakings; but when the river was drained, the unsatisfactory result soon-depopulated the whole neighborhood. Goeds of all kinds immediately fell in price, and any article could be had at the scene of recent activity for half what it would then sell at. in Nevada City. The large’ anticipations that had been’ formed of fortunes covered by the river vanished, and with them the crowd of miners that had made the.woods and canens echo with life. Ofthe other towns which grew up in 1849, we shall hereafter speak more at large. One of the most important agents in developing the resources of the county has been the water introduced from natural streams by means of ditches. During a large part of the year the business of the region must utterly fail were it not for artificial streams, that compensate in a great measure for the drought of the summer season, and enable the miner to pursue his calling. The ditching operations haye been generally so profitable to the Projec. tors, and so indispensable to the mining’ interests that they now net nearly the whole county. Wherever good diggings are opened some enterprising men cast about for a supply of water, and spare no efforts to to conquer the many obstacles which are presented by a rough, thinly settled counthis kind was . undertaken, but upen a quito Creek, a distance of a mile and a half, Creek to Phelps’ Hill, a short distance. In March, 1850, the® first enterprise. of . 5 omen, neighbors and all others whose small scale, It brought water from “Mosproperty from destruction by the fire Wedto Old Coyote Hill. Another ditch in May, 1850, took water from Little Deer The first enterprise of this kind upon aj length, was washed ashore on the north fee orale wee mnenecnental It was started . beach at Yaquina Bay several days ago, in August, 18°0, by a man named Moore, and was designed to take water from Deer . Creek, just above Nevada, to Rough and Ready. Moore dug but one mile of his ditch, and was generally accounted crazy for his pains, Bnt the enterprise was taken up in the following January, by Messrs. A. L. and B. O. Williams, who succeeded in getting the water through in the following April, a distance of thirteen miles, and made a great deal of money in working diggings on Randolph Flat with the water. In September, 1850, Messrs. Jobn and Thomas Dunn, C, Carroll, and C, Marsh projected the Rock Creek Ditch, taking water from Rock Creek to Nevada,-a distance of nine miles, and got the water onto the Coyote Hills in December of the same year. This was the first large ditch in successful operation in the county, and produced great results, . Before that time the pay dirt taken from the Coyote lead had all to be hauled in carts to Deer Crrek, at the foot of the town, at great expense; and pilts of dirt had_been_left-near—the~shafts—on~the hills, as useless, because it would not pay to be-hauled for washing. These piles of dirt now became. valuable, as the water flowed by them, and thousands of dollars were washed out of them, Many persons made their ‘‘piles” by “‘jumping”’ the piles of dirt that had been left as useless, the owners in many cases having gone to the other States well laden with the first produce ofthe lead. Coyote claims that could not be worked to advantage, also became valuable; sluice washing gradually came into use, and the water flowing from the ‘hills where it was first used, down into the ravines, gave opportunity for work where before it could only be done in winter. In November, 1850, two rival companies began to construct ditches to convey the water of Deer Creek to Nevada. The ‘Deer Creek Water Co.”’ began their ditch at the upper end, at the Creek; the ‘‘Coyote Water Co.” began at the end next to the town. After the completion of the ditches, thé companies were involved in continual law-suits as to' the priority of rights, to avoid which they consolidated in the fall of 1851, In March, 1851, Messrs. Thomas & Co. started the ‘‘Deer Creek Mining Company’s” ditch, leading from Deer Creek to Gold Flat, a distance of fifteen miles, and completed it in one year. The ‘‘Newtown Ditch” was constructed in 1851 by Messrs. Dickenson, Newten and others, taking water‘from Deer Creek and conveying it five miles to Newtown. The _‘‘Tri-Union,” formerly —ealled the ‘‘Rifle-Box” ditch, was started in April, 1851, by Messrs. Montgomery, Mason and others, and takes water to Sucker Flat, in Yuba county, a distance of fifteen miles, The ‘‘Shady Creek Ditch” was commenced by Eddy & Co, in July, 1853, and runs from Shady Creek to Sweetlad’s and French Corral, twelve miles, The “Grizzly Ditch’? was commenced in November, 1851, by Messrs. Pettiborn, Marsh and Stewart, and runs from Bloody Run and Grizzly Canon to Cherokee and San Juan and in all ite extensions, is fuityfive miles in length. The ‘Little York’’ ditch was started in February, 1852, by Gen, A. M. Winn, Capt. Chapman and others, and runs from Bear river, at Bear Valley, to Little York, a distance of eighteen miles. The ‘‘Walloupa” ditch was commenced in July, 1852, by Messrs. Churchman, Coryell, Marsh, Dunn, MclIutyre and McConnell, from Steep Hollow to Walloups and Red-Dog, a distance of fifteen miles, It wad finished in 1855. **Poorman’s Creek” ditch was commenced in 1853 by Berryman and others, running from Poorman’s Creek to Orleans and Moore’s Flat. “Spring Creek and Humbug Canen” ditch was commenced in 1853 by Messrs, Marsh, Tisdale and Rochford, to take water te MontezumaHill. The ‘Memphis Race’”’ was commenced in 1853 by Dr. James Weaver to take the waters from the Middle Yuba to Eureka, This ditch’is not yet finished, and is very large. In 1853 Messrs,,Spencer, Rich—andFerdyce commenced a ditch from Deer Creek to Nevada, a distance of twenty miles, which was completed in 1854. (To Be Continued. ) Committee Appointed.

CREAM MOST PERFECT MADE, G Cr of Tartar ee fn sm xy thera SKETCH OF NEVADA COUNTY. . From the Directory Published’ in 1856, by Brown & Dallison. We herewith begin the publication of the history of Nevada county, written by Hon. A. A. Sargent in 1855. We ‘shall publish it in full, from time to time, as we can give it place in the TRaNscrirr: The county of Nevada was organized by anact of the Legislature, approved May 18, 1851. Before that time it had heen a part of Yuba county, but the growth of population and business, and the distance of the courts fcr the trial of important criminal and civil business, prompted the citizens of this ‘part of Yuba county to move in the Legislature for a separate county, organization. The application was successful,—Henry Miller, J. N. Turner, Je Bs Crandall, J. S. Allen, and Amos T. Laird, of Nevada, were appointed by the act in question to designate election precincts, appoint inspectors of election, receive returns,’ and issue certificates of election. ‘The election of the first officers of the county took ‘place on the fourth Monday of May, 1851, and T. H. Caswell was chosen County Judge; J. R. McConnell, District Attorney; Theodore Miller, County Clerk; John Gallagher, Sheriff; C. Marsh, County Surveyor; T. G Williams, Assessor and H.C. Hodge, Treasurer. The vote of the county cast at that election was about two thousand and nine hundred. The very earliest settlement of which we can obtain a trace in the territory now known as Nevada county, was in the sum-= mer of 1848, at_a place known as Rose’s Corral, between what is now the Anthony House and Bridgeport. A man named Rose here built an adob house, in. which he traded with the Indians ‘of the neighborhood, and built a corral, The spot is now in ruins, and has been but little used since —the location not being valuable for the purpose of trade,. as the country became more fully developed.and no mines having been discovered in the vicinity. Rose also gave his name to a bar on the Yuba, Early in the spring of 1849 a company. of Orgonians—old mountaineers, known as Greenwood & Co., in which were also some ‘of Stephenson’s regiment—followed up the South Yuba. They creviced for gold from what is now called Illinois Bar up to Washington, Some emigrants from Indiana, who arrived in 1849 at Sacramento, followed in their trail, and worked along the river . steadily and with much success, with rockers. In the fall of 1849 they stopped at Washington. -Greenwood & Co. stepped at Jofferaon, which place was then known as 4‘Greenwood’s Camp;” and Washington, as ‘The Indiana’ Boys’ Camp.” The winter was very severe, and the snow fell to a great depth, so that little ein, could be done till spring. In August, 1849, an Oregon trader by the name of Findley, commenced a store near Bear River, near what is now known as Storms’ Ranch on the old emigrant trail, to trade with the emigrants. Findley was an old mountaineer, inured to hardships, and had three times crossed the plains to Oregon, at 4 time when the passage was as much more difficult than it is at present as the route to Panama was in 1849 more‘than it is since the completion of the railroad. Findley sold out his establishment to one Brooks, by whose name it is at present known. In September, 1849, David Bovyer established himself.on the South Yuba, near Jones’ Crossing, fer the purpose of trading with the Indians, and moved in October.of the same year to White Oak Springs. The only places in the county that date back as far as 1849, that are at present, of importance, are Nevada City, Grass Valley, Rough and Ready, Washington and Jefferson. As late as August, 1850, Washington was the highest point on the South Yuba at which gold had been discovered, and a large population centered in that place and at Jefferson, giving-to these points an air of importance that has never been regained. Washington, atthe September election, 1855, cast one hundred and eighty-three votes, and Jefferson fifty-three, In August, 1850, the miners at that part of the South Yuba numbered fully one thousand. They had remained there since the spring, or gathered in since, waiting for the water to fall, to turn the river, and prospect their claims. Dams and were constructed at a prodigious expense in those days. The success of werking in the banks gave encouragement for these undertakings; but when the river was drained, the unsatisfactory result soon-depopulated the whole neighborhood. Goeds of all kinds immediately fell in price, and any article could be had at the scene of recent activity for half what it would then sell at. in Nevada City. The large’ anticipations that had been’ formed of fortunes covered by the river vanished, and with them the crowd of miners that had made the.woods and canens echo with life. Ofthe other towns which grew up in 1849, we shall hereafter speak more at large. One of the most important agents in developing the resources of the county has been the water introduced from natural streams by means of ditches. During a large part of the year the business of the region must utterly fail were it not for artificial streams, that compensate in a great measure for the drought of the summer season, and enable the miner to pursue his calling. The ditching operations haye been generally so profitable to the Projec. tors, and so indispensable to the mining’ interests that they now net nearly the whole county. Wherever good diggings are opened some enterprising men cast about for a supply of water, and spare no efforts to to conquer the many obstacles which are presented by a rough, thinly settled counthis kind was . undertaken, but upen a quito Creek, a distance of a mile and a half, Creek to Phelps’ Hill, a short distance. In March, 1850, the® first enterprise. of . 5 omen, neighbors and all others whose small scale, It brought water from “Mosproperty from destruction by the fire Wedto Old Coyote Hill. Another ditch in May, 1850, took water from Little Deer The first enterprise of this kind upon aj length, was washed ashore on the north fee orale wee mnenecnental It was started . beach at Yaquina Bay several days ago, in August, 18°0, by a man named Moore, and was designed to take water from Deer . Creek, just above Nevada, to Rough and Ready. Moore dug but one mile of his ditch, and was generally accounted crazy for his pains, Bnt the enterprise was taken up in the following January, by Messrs. A. L. and B. O. Williams, who succeeded in getting the water through in the following April, a distance of thirteen miles, and made a great deal of money in working diggings on Randolph Flat with the water. In September, 1850, Messrs. Jobn and Thomas Dunn, C, Carroll, and C, Marsh projected the Rock Creek Ditch, taking water from Rock Creek to Nevada,-a distance of nine miles, and got the water onto the Coyote Hills in December of the same year. This was the first large ditch in successful operation in the county, and produced great results, . Before that time the pay dirt taken from the Coyote lead had all to be hauled in carts to Deer Crrek, at the foot of the town, at great expense; and pilts of dirt had_been_left-near—the~shafts—on~the hills, as useless, because it would not pay to be-hauled for washing. These piles of dirt now became. valuable, as the water flowed by them, and thousands of dollars were washed out of them, Many persons made their ‘‘piles” by “‘jumping”’ the piles of dirt that had been left as useless, the owners in many cases having gone to the other States well laden with the first produce ofthe lead. Coyote claims that could not be worked to advantage, also became valuable; sluice washing gradually came into use, and the water flowing from the ‘hills where it was first used, down into the ravines, gave opportunity for work where before it could only be done in winter. In November, 1850, two rival companies began to construct ditches to convey the water of Deer Creek to Nevada. The ‘Deer Creek Water Co.”’ began their ditch at the upper end, at the Creek; the ‘‘Coyote Water Co.” began at the end next to the town. After the completion of the ditches, thé companies were involved in continual law-suits as to' the priority of rights, to avoid which they consolidated in the fall of 1851, In March, 1851, Messrs. Thomas & Co. started the ‘‘Deer Creek Mining Company’s” ditch, leading from Deer Creek to Gold Flat, a distance of fifteen miles, and completed it in one year. The ‘‘Newtown Ditch” was constructed in 1851 by Messrs. Dickenson, Newten and others, taking water‘from Deer Creek and conveying it five miles to Newtown. The _‘‘Tri-Union,” formerly —ealled the ‘‘Rifle-Box” ditch, was started in April, 1851, by Messrs. Montgomery, Mason and others, and takes water to Sucker Flat, in Yuba county, a distance of fifteen miles, The ‘‘Shady Creek Ditch” was commenced by Eddy & Co, in July, 1853, and runs from Shady Creek to Sweetlad’s and French Corral, twelve miles, The “Grizzly Ditch’? was commenced in November, 1851, by Messrs. Pettiborn, Marsh and Stewart, and runs from Bloody Run and Grizzly Canon to Cherokee and San Juan and in all ite extensions, is fuityfive miles in length. The ‘Little York’’ ditch was started in February, 1852, by Gen, A. M. Winn, Capt. Chapman and others, and runs from Bear river, at Bear Valley, to Little York, a distance of eighteen miles. The ‘‘Walloupa” ditch was commenced in July, 1852, by Messrs. Churchman, Coryell, Marsh, Dunn, MclIutyre and McConnell, from Steep Hollow to Walloups and Red-Dog, a distance of fifteen miles, It wad finished in 1855. **Poorman’s Creek” ditch was commenced in 1853 by Berryman and others, running from Poorman’s Creek to Orleans and Moore’s Flat. “Spring Creek and Humbug Canen” ditch was commenced in 1853 by Messrs, Marsh, Tisdale and Rochford, to take water te MontezumaHill. The ‘Memphis Race’”’ was commenced in 1853 by Dr. James Weaver to take the waters from the Middle Yuba to Eureka, This ditch’is not yet finished, and is very large. In 1853 Messrs,,Spencer, Rich—andFerdyce commenced a ditch from Deer Creek to Nevada, a distance of twenty miles, which was completed in 1854. (To Be Continued. ) Committee Appointed.
