The stage line operated through the mining towns of Grass Valley and Nevada ‘City along roads that were quagmires in winter, and it required days to haul freight and supplies to the booming gold mines. For a time, there was hope that the Central Pacific, which was expanding from its small beginning in Sacramento, would pass. through Grass Valley and Nevada City. However, with the selection of the Donner summit route by Central Facific (now Southern Facific) these mining centers realized they must look to their own resources for rail connections. Idea of a horse-railroad to Colfax was carried to the state legislature, but a franchise was refused, andNevada City and Grass Valley watched with regret as the Central Pacific climbed eastward on the other side. of Bear river. With each echoing scream, of the -woodburning locomotives across the 3ear and the Greenhorn, the longing of these towns for rail conections intensified. The matter was finally brought to a head by the Coleman brothers, who had a tract of timber land they wanted to make accessible. At a town meeting in Nevada. City, Jan. 27, 1874, a committee of 20. citizens, ten from Nevada City and ten from Grass Valley, was named to organize a railroad.; Grass Valley was represented on the committee by Edward Coleman, William Watt, Reuben Leach, M. P. O’Connor, J.-C. Coleman, A. Delano, A. B. Dibble, Samuel Granger, F. G. Beatty and J. M. Lakenan. From Nevada City were George F. Jacobs, Niles Searls, R. M. Hunt, Chas. Marsh, R.:W. Tully, N. P. Brown, T. W. Sigourney, G. W. Smith, M. L. Marsh, J. H. Helm. One of the leading spirits for the railroad was Judge O. P. Stidger, at that time editor of the Nevada City Transcript. More than 125 persons subscribed sums ranging from $100 to $1500. More than $150,000 was pledged in the two. towns. At the instance* of Senator O’Connor of ‘Nevada county a special railroad bill was drafted and by March 12, 1874, it had been approved by both houses of the legislature and signed by Governor Booth. Application was made to the government for the customary land grants and bond subsidies of those times. The RAY & PHIL old Railway The following article, compiled and edited by the Southern Pacific Bureau of News, by Richard Houghton, is reprinted from the Colfax Record. The Narrow Gauge, one of California’s most picturesque short line railroads, was known all over the U. S. by the title bestowed upon it by its exasperated (at times) passengers: the Never Come, Never Go Railroad, but in its day it probably hauled more gold than any other railroad in the U. S., and bowed. only to the more versatile truck. Within a radius of 25 miles in Nevada and Placer counties of California in the 1850s four great developments—beginning with sluice mining—revolutionized gold mining. In the resultant boom the Nevada County Narrow Gauge railroad was born and flourished. It has since passed into his-¥ men, . Narrow Gauge eee Local Capital Starts but road to per assess right-of-way was, granted, instead of a subsidy the was given irrevocable right charge a fare of ten cents passenger-mile and_ to minimum freight rates. On April 4, 1874,-a company with $400,000 capital stock was incorporated, with John C. Coleman as president. In December a contract was let to M. F. Beatty, who in turn sublet the contract to Tuston and Knox to duild the line. After construction started out of. Colfax in February, 1875, there were many pessimists who’ laid wagers the track would never reach Grass Valley, but the work was pushed so. well, in all seasons and weather, that eleven months later construction trains reached the Grass Valley depot site. However, the track © still needed improving, and. the first Bear river bridge was much lower and less imposing than the later 200-foot-high span. The first regular train from Colfax reached Grass Valley on April 17, 1876, after large crowds had greeted it ‘at stations all along the way. é “. On May 10 the “golden spike’’ was driven at Nevada City, but it was not until May 20 that the old cannon was dragged from the summit of Sugar Loaf at Nevada City through a tumultous crowd to greet the first work train, Behind the cannon marched a colorful procession headed by a military band. As the parade halted a shout arose, hats sailed in the air and all eyes turned down the valley. There, belching smoke, came. Engine No. 1. It screeched to a grinding’ halt, the cannon roared and Judge Searles mounted tothe pilot to deliver the address of welcome to the iron’ horse which had come at last to the hills of gold. Two days later regular train service! was established. patel amieaaacacetoman Was Epic of Community Endeavor tion of the roadbed and on a rainy day the pyrite may still be seen gleaming with its, brilliant metallic luster. It is said that in the early days of the railroad considerable trouble was experienced in keeping the miners from sluicing out the roadbed. The locomotives were 4-4-0s, “American type’ built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, three-foot gauge. They served as wood. burners for years, but after the turn of the century were converted to burn oil. Their work began to slack off when with the decline in mining and the increase in highways and automobiles the railroad lost business, despite the increasing amount of agriculture in the area. In 1913 the Sacramento Northern took over and operated the narrow gauge line, fighting the growing competition of trucks and buses. Thirteen years later, with revenue -far below the cost of maintenance and operation, the owners, of the railroad applied to the California railroad commission for permission to abandon the line and on April 16, 1926, the commission granted the request. No sooner did Grass Valley and Nevada City learn about the impending abandonment than a public indignation meeting was called. In a few minutes the citizens had agreed to give 100 per cent patronage to the railroad. Not only that, but they secured control of the road ‘by pledging enough money to. purchase all the outstanding first and second mortgage bonds and to refinance the entire structure. The commission vacated the abandonment order. To place the railroad on a firm financial business: the trustees of the two issues of mortgage bonds petitioned for a receiver, and in March, 1927, Judge Raglan Tuttle of Nevada City appointed as receiver George H. Calanan of Nevada City, one of the group who helped -preserve the railroad. J. E. Taylor, a Grass Valley insurance man,*¢ was 1amed president; Fred F. Cassidy hardware merchant of Nevada City, vice-president; James C. Tyrrell, postmaster of Grass Valley, secretry; -A. H. Moosher, Vice-president of the Nevada County Bank of Grass Valley, treasurer. The officers of this unusual railroad served without pay. They also spent their spare moments down in the railroad yards unloading freight and assisting in other ways. None of them had any. previous experience in railroading.

Leaving Colfax it descended at the rate of 121 feet to the mile ‘toward Cape Horn and_ passed under the high bridge of the Southern Pacific at Long Ravine. Following the Bear river it soon reached a point 346 feet below Colfax and passed over a modern steel trestle 97 feet high and 750 feet long, replacing the Howe truss bridge of wood that burned down in 1930. From there the track followed Greenhorn creek a short distance, then left the creek and its deep. chasm, losing sight of them for three miles before returning to a point Only 1500 feet away from where they were lost sight of. After gaining elevation by this curving, the route wound over the mountain ridges to an altitude of 2,851 feet, and then descended into Grass Valley on a_ grade 121 feet to the mile. At Grass Valley were the main office, shops and engine house of the railroad. From Grass Valley the line passed through the heart of the Mother Lode coundiggings and other gold mines, to. the depot near Deer creek at Nevada City, end of the line. Civie pride and loyalty were not enough to keep the railroad running in face of deficits. In 1942 the California railroad commission again authorized abandonment. J. E. Taylor was still president, and some others including Tyrrell, Cassidy and Calanan who had helped save the railroad 15 years earlier were still serving as officials with him. There were and R. M. Geronimi. Equipment owned at the time of abandonment included two locomotives, 55 freight cars and two service cars. The locomotives went to Hawaii. Cars ''went to such widely separated places as Alaska and Africa. The rail— 20.65 miles of main line, and 4.18 miles of siding, weighing 35, 50 and 60 pounds per yard, went into scrap, presumably to fight the Japanese.

Most of the boron deficiency has been found in the Sierra Nevada foothills in Nevada, Butte, Placer, El Dorado and Calaveras counties. The symptons of boron deficiency vary with the fruit varieties, and may result in a decrease in yield, or injury of fruit and twigs. trees require a The soils and irrigation waters in most fruit growing areas of the state contain enough and in some cases too much_ boron. It is extremely important that boron applications be made only in these areas where the need has been demonstrated. It is advisable to check first with the local “farm advisor before starting treatment, as it is much easier to get boron into the soil than to eliminate excess. The only means to get rid of excess boron is to wash it out of the soil with a satisfactory irrigation water.
