Hand, Editor of the Journal of American Folklore, "Edmund G, Kinyon writes out of a full heart about people great and small who flocked to the five of six counties which constituted the traditional Northern Mines before counties existed and longbefore the Mother Lode became a name-place to pursue the ignis fatuus of quick wealth, only to remain to build flourishing communities in one ofthe most picturesque parts of California after: t "No human life is tod common, and no human destiny is too great. to have escaped the attention of this kindly newspaper editor who spent 35 years at the ‘desk of the Grass Valley Neyada City Union. "From the wealth of detail which enriches Mr, Kinyon's Nort n Mines about people . Who flocked to gold country work one suspects that he infrequently found trifling excuse to leave the editorial rooms to saunter down the old trails to engage some old-timer in conversation or seek out a cabin dweller known to harbor a few precious details -about a shooting or a gold strike that almost everyone else had forgotten years ago." % The Northern Mines Series will be followed by other worthwhile stories of the local, early mining: era.A subscription to The Nugget will bring you historical value for young and old alike. : Despite last week's article which seemingly raised The Nugget subscription rates, there has been no increase. The rates for one, two and three years remain. $3.00, $5.00 and $7.00. Because of interest in historteal Stories, The Nugget will continue to publish articles in ensuing weeks which will bring back memories of the past. We encourage readers to clip out the chistorical centerfold and keep them for. future reference and recollection. Present subscribers may obtain the gift scrap book by advancing their subscription one, two or three years. terested in the North Star, nearly all this history being related to me by George Starr who, you all know, could ‘write the material much better than Ican. This is a newspaper article prepared in too short a time to correct errors of memory by looking. up the records, so I must ask the indulgence of my readers. There will, doubtless, be many errors and omissions-credit may be given tothe wrong persons -the names of some of the most deserving of mention may be left out. Mr. Hauges connection with North Star began in 1885, when he bought control from W. BE. Bourne who had pumped out the mine in 1883 and, with John Hayes Hammond as consulting engineer, built the 30 stamp mill in 1884, At this time the 11-inch pipe leading from what is now the North Star reservoir was built to the Empire and a 24-inch line from the Empire to the North Star, the same water being used twice. Ihave a profile of the North Star Mine pipe drawn by W. F. Englebright. This pipe, in 1895, was extended by A. D. Foote to the North Star power house on Wolf Creek, and is still in use. The North Star pipe is also still in use, taking battery water to the mill at Central Shaft (also my house, ) and it still bursts at inconvenient times, as it has been doing for over 40 years, I have no doubt that that pipe has caused moreloss of sleep and hours of work (Continued on page 3.)
