A few seatj tery shacks and harns, all ef tiem . looking as old as the hills around them, a brick structure that was once the Wells Fargo office in French Corral, a few schools, and a church or two are all that remain s. anding of the buildings that were once thick . along the road from French Corral to North San Juan. © . ——— .

Bradford’s head was blown neatly off his shoulders, from where it ixecuted a curve in the air, and after striking the ground rolled down the hill. French Corral had a considerable Chinatown in the sixties and early seventies. The Chinese in California were at that time completely unAmericanized. They appeared about the mounitain towns clad in native black pajamas, smoking their little opium pipes, or carrying goods in baskets suspended from shoulder poles. They were clever and industrious workers, and worked for a standard wage of six-bits a day. The Milton Mining Company, chief operator of the diggings near French Corral at that time, brought large groups of Chinese laborers up from San Francisco to work the company properties. This importation of coolfie labor occurred shortly before the decline of French Corral, and there are many old-timers who think that this cheap labor was, with’ the antihydraulic legislation, one of the chief causes of the decline of the Ridge. icé ee The studio that satisfies.
