FROM THE LITERATURE Susan Wolbarst, Real “Cousin Jack” remembers mines. The Union, October 7, 1982. Jim Burns, Will Brock. The Union, October 7, 1982. Reid Collins, John Antonowitsch. The Union, October 7, 1982. On October 7, 1982, The Union was devoted to the old mining days. Susan Wolbarst’s article, on Bill Corin, appeared in the main section; the two other articles ina special insert. Corin was born in Cornwall; he came to Grass Valley in 1930 and worked for more than 25 years underground in the Empire Mine. Brock worked for nine years underground in several mines, but mainly in the Empire. And Antonowitsch worked in a great number of mines from 1930 until 1956. All three are now septuagenarians, Conrad and Brock are 74, while Antonowitsch is 77 years old. And all three agree that there are not many former miners around any more; first hand knowledge about the life of the miner is fastly disappearing. Therefore we are thankful to The Union for presenting us with reports on interviews with these old timers. v.d.P. Earl Schmidt, The Mooney Flat Hotel History. The Mountain Messenger, October 7, 1982. A history of the Live Oak Hotel, also called (for its founder), Schmidt Hotel, at Mooney Flat. The Hotel, built by George and Veronica Schmidt from 1856 until 1870, was strategically located on the road from Marysville to Bridgeport, which road continued as the Henness Pass Road, leading to Virginia City. As an important stopping point on this main traffic artery, the hotel shared the historical events, such as the silver bonanza and the end of hydraulic mining. The hotel remained in the family until 1957. In addition to a description of the hotel and its history, this article presents a brief history of the Schmidt family. At the moment, the building does not exist any more; the few remains were marked on July 18, 1982, by a plaque. v.d.P. ELMER STEVENS Elmer Stevens died at his home on Tuesday, December 14, 1982. He was a charter member of the Nevada County Historical Society and its first president. The April issue of the Bulletin will carry his obituary.
