NEVADA CITY WENT WILD by Robert Letts, News Bureau Chief, Pacific’Gas and Electric Co., Out of the yellowing files of 1887 newspapers, a clipping from a Nevada County newspaper (the Weekly Tidings of Grass Valley) brought . this news of the time: “Nevada City, the county seat of the county of the same name, was in a state of the wildest excitement last night.

This, according to the Nevada Transcript, was the “first electric light ever introduced in a mining claim."
