In the upper left corner we can see General McGlashan'‘s mansion, and close to it the Tower built around the famous Rocking Stone of Indian legend. The First and Last Chance, the Louis and the Eagle saloons lie bright under the moon sun, and some of the boys are crowding the doorways, ready to hoist one soon as the parade's passed, The larger photograph shows the Nevada City bank, on another Fourth, outside Hyman & Company's Wholesale and Retail Emporium on the corner of Commercial and Main streets; beyond Hyman’s we can see the Hibernia Hall and beyond that again, across Coyote street, the South Yuba Canal Company's building that houses the Nugget today. The Glory That Was GRASS VALLEY---The Grass Valley Junior Chamber of Commerce last week suggested a building program at Loma Rica Airport which they say will put the airport on a paying basis. The recommendations followed a study. by a committie of the junior chamber, “Currently the county is losing airport revenue due to the lack of the facilities recommended," the committee said, They proposed the completion of the airport gas station which the county is now building by lease-purchase agreement with Standard Oil Company.
