LOUGHRAN From the modest beginning of a mere landmark. of human habitation during the colorful Gold Rush Period of California’s early settle-~ ment, the marked srowth and devel‘opment that has featured Nevada. County and the county’s twin cities” Steady advancement to present, pretentious, modern proportions, is, indeed, a matter for discussion. wherever pioneer local residents gather. The momentous happenings dating from Nevada County’s original settlement down to the present writing, have been given deserved space in historie records recording the more salient movements and steady march of progress that have attend-~. ed all of the early day, Strategie, Western trading posts and commeretal centers established by couragfous men of strong faith and unbounded confidence throughout the various counties and districts of this Sreat Golden State. iS Of these, none can boast a greater, all round business and industrial advancement than can Nevada County and her far-famed twin cities ag. represented in Nevada ‘City, the county seat, and her enterprising Sister community, Grass Valley. Here, indeed, one finds at present, as at the momentous time of discovery, an immensely rich treasure trove so farreaching in scope and seemingly inexhaustible in the continuous production of gold, that the county’s total gold production from commence ment of early operations until the close of 1933 was shown to be well in excess of $400,000,000.00. During the interval since 1933, as in the past, consistent headway has been made in the rejuvination of famous old heavy producing properties; the exploration and development along modernistic Hnes of other equally famous, proven properties, and above all the bringing to light of many worthwhile gravel and quartz deposits. These, it should be noted, although in the embryo stage of development, when linked with other producing mines of the county, including, of course, gravel and ‘the quartz properties of lesser magnitude,/ give excéllent yromiise that Nevada County, which is the aceredited banner gold county of Califor-. nia, will, in the not far distant future, again experience in. generous measure, if not excell, former periods of historic glamor that has kept this favored secton of the “Golden State’ constantly in the public eye since the Covered Wagon era. . At any rate, it is heartening to note that Nevada County throughout, and her more densely populated commercial’ centers as represented in Nevada City, Grass Valley and Truekee in particular, may, in this year of 1937, be properly likened to busy beehives of intelligently directed, useful industry: and thrift, and the march of progress in innumerable, wisely conceived branches of human endeavor, continues to make appreciable, forward strides.

The momentous happenings dating from Nevada County’s original settlement down to the present writing, have been given deserved space in historie records recording the more salient movements and steady march of progress that have attend-~. ed all of the early day, Strategie, Western trading posts and commeretal centers established by couragfous men of strong faith and unbounded confidence throughout the various counties and districts of this Sreat Golden State. iS Of these, none can boast a greater, all round business and industrial advancement than can Nevada County and her far-famed twin cities ag. represented in Nevada ‘City, the county seat, and her enterprising Sister community, Grass Valley. Here, indeed, one finds at present, as at the momentous time of discovery, an immensely rich treasure trove so farreaching in scope and seemingly inexhaustible in the continuous production of gold, that the county’s total gold production from commence ment of early operations until the close of 1933 was shown to be well in excess of $400,000,000.00. During the interval since 1933, as in the past, consistent headway has been made in the rejuvination of famous old heavy producing properties; the exploration and development along modernistic Hnes of other equally famous, proven properties, and above all the bringing to light of many worthwhile gravel and quartz deposits. These, it should be noted, although in the embryo stage of development, when linked with other producing mines of the county, including, of course, gravel and ‘the quartz properties of lesser magnitude,/ give excéllent yromiise that Nevada County, which is the aceredited banner gold county of Califor-. nia, will, in the not far distant future, again experience in. generous measure, if not excell, former periods of historic glamor that has kept this favored secton of the “Golden State’ constantly in the public eye since the Covered Wagon era. . At any rate, it is heartening to note that Nevada County throughout, and her more densely populated commercial’ centers as represented in Nevada City, Grass Valley and Truekee in particular, may, in this year of 1937, be properly likened to busy beehives of intelligently directed, useful industry: and thrift, and the march of progress in innumerable, wisely conceived branches of human endeavor, continues to make appreciable, forward strides.
