NEVADA TRANSCRIPT FEBRUARY 22, 24, 25, 1863 33
TANNERY.—Messrs. Richard Kelsey and Thomas Butler, have commenced the erection of
buildings, vats, &c., near the County Hospital, for the purpose of starting a tannery on a larger scale than
it has ever been attempted in this section of the country. The only tannery we know of in this vicinity is
the one this side of Grass Valley, but for some reasons it has remained useless during the last five years.
We are glad these gentlemen have taken hold of this branch of business, and we have no doubt it will
yield to them a handsome return for the investment of their capital. We have often wondered why parties
did not engage in the Tannery business here, for everything used in that line can be obtained in endless
quantities. Kelsey and Butler have the cash and understand the business, and by the middle of next month
we may expect to hear to their doing a flourishing business.
