hotels, and 5 stores. White population about 50. Indian population about 200,
within a radius of 2 miles. The Indians are very industrious and peaceable.
Their chief employment is gold mining and packing supplies to and from the interior with
their own horses, of which they have large numbers. With few exceptions
they all attend the Episcopal church.
