Historic markers at Red Dog and You Bet Six historic markers were . placed recently in the hydraulic mining area of Red Dog and You Bet. They mark the townsites of both You Bet and Red Dog, the cemeteries of both towns, and the location of two of the most important buildings in You Bet Fox and Cloudman's General Merchandise Establishment and the Odd Fellows. Lodge Hall. Historian Lyle White has spent his "retirement" years researching this area, its people, its buildings, and its unique way of life. Almost single handedly, he has restored the Red Dog Cemetery, and has begun restoration of the cemetery at You Bet. With the aid of the Nevada County Antique Bottle Collectors' Club, he has definitely located the sites of -the more important buildings in the two old gold towns, The Colfax Highway Association, with the permission of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, has assumed the task of marking these historic sites which Mr. White has so painstakingly pinpointed. The historic markers being placed in the area were designed and fabricated by Al Davies, Historical Committee Chairman, Treasurer, and Ex-president of the Colfax Highway Association. Mr. Davies, John Corvi, vice-president of the association, and Joe Ruess, its permanent executive secretary, were the work crew who dug the holes and planted these markers in concrete. It is hoped that members of the community who are proud of their heritage of gold-mining history will help preserve and protect these historic markers from vandalism. Unfortunately previous generations of vandals have torn down and moved away almost all of the old buildings, piece by piece, stolen or defaced gravestones, and even robbed: some of the graves. Only one building was moved in order to preserve it the old Lodge Hall, which served for many years as the Peardale Farm Center. A long-term project of the Colfax Highway Association is to see this area designated a State Historic Park.
