INTRODUCTORY.
The size and importance of Nevada among the mining counties of Cal- ifornia ; its mines of gold of enormous product, cclipsing all others in the world; its extensive gravel ranges, in which lies imbedded wealth to enrich the nation ; its thousand ledges of gold-bearing rock that stripe its territory, inviting the capital of other lands, and which are destined at no distant day to cause its valleys and mountains to resound with the din and clatter of machinery ; its fertile soil on which can be grown all the pro- ductions of the temperate zone; its perfect adaptability to the production of the generous wines that are to rival those of France and Hungary ; its vast extent of surface that entices the agriculturist to come and clothe its hill sides with orchards and vineyards; its nearness to the great Pacific railway, rendering it accessible to the commerce and travel of the world, and the attention it is attracting among the scientific and moneyed circles of the globe-all these would seem to call for some compendious exhibit of its boundless resources, its products and its prospects. Accordingly, the task has been undertaken, and the result may be found in the following pages. Therein are contained a concise history of the county, as full as the limits of the volume would allow ; an account of all the notable mines, their location, yield, etc., as far as can be ascertaincd ; of the canals of the county, cost of construction, capacity, etc .; statistics of every branch of industry ; besides a complete directory of the county. To the citizens of Nevada county the following pages will be of interest, presenting as they do in preservable shape, the evidence of the wealth and material resources of a portion of the earth's surface, which they call " home," and which is unexcelled by any other portion of like extent on the habitable globe; and as a work of reference for business men generally, I flatter ourself, it must prove to be of far greater value than its cost.
To E. G. Waite I am indebted for the history of the county and other valuable contributions for the work. Much valuable information has been obtained from two historical sketches of the county written by Hon. A. A. Sargent, one published in a Directory of the county by Brown & Dallison in 1856, the other in a Directory of Nevada, published by H. B. Thompson in 1861; also, from W. S. Byrne, Esq., and his Directory of Grass Valley, published in 1865. To Judge Frank Tilford I am indebted for the sketch of Meadow Lake township, and to Captain E. W. Roberts for the sketch of Rough and Ready. Other gentlemen have contributed new facts, whose names will appear in the history as it comes from the pen of the writer.
