TD The Nevade:Casnty Nucget
Nuggets lose
to Reno, 34-14
RENO — The Nevada Union
Nuggets were dumped by the
Reno Huskies in their 1969 football debut at Reno Friday.
A scoreless game was broke
_up in the third quarter when
Reno halfbacks went on a wild
running spree to lead Reno to
a 34-14 win. Steve Curl swept
the Nevada Union ends continually to pick up heaps of
yardage.
The Nuggets had little to cheer
about. Freshman quarterback
Dave Rayburn tossed one’ touchdown pass and was on the receiving end of a tossfrom Karry
Blackburn for the Nuggets’ second score.

He finally reached San Francisco on board
the whaling bark, "Anna" on June 5, 1850,
three months to the day he left home.
The Anna never left port. She joined Bret
Harte’s "Ships of 49" and today she is
buried beneath Montgomery street where
she was scuttled with many another.
Rich was average height, with straight
black and partially shaven beard, A
widower in his early manhood with four
children, he brought two of them with him
to the golden state,
He made many of the surveys of the
water route and chiseled the legal claim:
of the water rights into rock. The information gained by Rich prompted the men
to form the company and proceed with
construction. This was the start of the
South Yuba Canal Company, which has
been, and will be througiits successors,
of untold benefit to this part of California
as long as grass grows and water flows.
Rich located water claims of the storage water in Devil's Peak lakes and Meadow lake, and superintended the construction of the Fordyce or Black Rock dam.
The first dam was built in 1857 and the
engineering was such that traces of it
stands togay. .
Capt. Kidd conceived the idea of bringing the waters of Donner lake into the
system--an indication of the lack of knowledge of the topography in that day. Rich's
exploration demonstrated the error of the
plan.In 1850 Whartenby, Marsh and Dunn,
and possibly others, built a ditch from
Rock creek to Sugar Loaf. At the same
time Kidd and Knox built a ditch from
Deer Creek to Gold Flat. In 1853 Rich
and others built a ditch from Rock Creek
to Sugar Loaf a little above the Whartenby
ditch and also began the Snow Mountain
ditch at Nevada City end to supply the rich
and extensive mines on the slopes below
Sugar Loaf, appropriating water supplies
‘available as they were reached. The ditch
was intended to extend to Deer Creek but
finally terminated at Cold Spring canyon.
The water rights were held in the
order of the construction of the ditches
and limited to their capacities. Sometimes ‘even in wet weather there was not
sufficient water to supply all ditches and
friction resulted as water meant money.
Despite occasional fights no one was killed
and eventually the companies consolidated
into the South Yuba Canal Company.
Following consolidation and inthesum_
mer of 1854 a new ditch was started below
the Snow Mountain ditch as the original
survey of it indicated that if completed to
Deer Creek would tap the stream too high.
The new ditch 2 1/2 feet wide and 2 feet
deep, tapped Deer Creek at the forks.
