Introduction In May 1992, Teachers Management Investment Corporation requested that the Nevada County Historical Landmarks Commission attempt to identify and research the historically significant points of interest located on the Lorna Rica Ranch. NCHLC conducted searches of county records, newspapers, Nevada County Historical Society Bulletins from 1948 to the present, reviewed pertinent literature and histories, searched the Empire Mine files and conducted interviews of citizens in attempts to determine the historical points of interest on Lorna Rica Ranch. Additionally, field surveys were conducted by members of the NCHLC to better understand the various facets of the potential sites located on Lorna Rica Ranch. This enables the NCHLC to develop a clearer understanding of what could be considered historically significant to the citizens of Nevada County. The research uncovered five historically significant tangible sites. The sections under investigation are: (1) two prehistoric Southern Maidu sites; (2) remnants of the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad beds; (3) remains of the Idaho Maryland mine operations; (4) the Lorna Rica Ranch Thoroughbred operations; and (5) the MacBoyle reservoir which includes the purported World's Fair Fountain. The individual, Errol MacBoyle is an historically significant individual that by all rights should be included in the historically significant list of the Lorna Rica Ranch. The methodology used in this report is as follows; each section covers a specific historical phase of the Lorna Rica Ranch. The first segment covers the historical context of the subject matter indicated in each section, the subsequent segment describes how the site presently appears. The conventional method of using historical endnotes is. utilized in all sections except the section on Errol MacBoyle, where for ease of reading the author has opted to use a single endnote. Finally, it is expected that the report on the history on Lorna Rica will precipitate additional information concerning the histories and personalities addressed in this report, in addition to new facts as yet undiscovered. The NCHLC iii. considers the investigation into the histories of these subjects to be an ongoing process. It is expected that supplemental reports will be forthcoming when additional information is uncovered.

The Southern Maidu The prehistory people of Nevada County were the tribe known as Maidu. They were from the Penutian Family, which also consisted of Wintun, Miwok, Costanoan, and Yokuts. Within the Maidu lineage were the Northeastern Maidu, Northwestern Maidu and the Southern Maidu. Nevada County's indigenous people were from the Southern Maidu branch and referred to themselves as Nisenan or "our people." AltTrnative methods of spelling Nisenan include Nisinan and Nishinam. The geographic area of the Southern Maidu or Nisenan was roughly from the Sacramento Valley on the west, to the crest of the Sierra Nevada to the east, as far 2outh as the Consumnes River and as far north as the Yuba River. (See Appendix A) The population of the Southern Maidu prior to the invasion of the white settlers is difficult to determine for several reasons. The indigenous people themselves were not concerned with their numbers as the white culture was and did not engage in census; and secondly the malaria epidemic that swept·through the Sacramento Valley in the 1830s most certainly decimated many tribes including the Southern Maidu. By the time the white man arrived and started cens~s taking, the various tribes were relatively small in numbers. , The political organization of the Southern Maidu corresponds with most Native American Indians, i.e. a village tribe ~ystem or settlements. The 'tribelet• ~onsisting of a primary village with several auxiliary villages. The Southern Maidu had two principal houses: k'um and hubo. The k'um was a large earth covered lodge while the hubo was a lean-to of bark and brush. The most common form of housing for the Southern Maidu was the hubo. A conical structure 10 to 15 feet across, supported by several poles tied together over a shallow excavation. The elements were kept out by the use of bark, pine needles or brush. The method of counting individuals per hubo is estimated between 5 to 10 persons with the average being 7~. The food sources available to the Southern Maidu were sizable, ranging from worms and grasshoppers to deer and quail. The Southern Maidu collected nuts, seeds, roots and various vegetation. Whereas it could be argued that the deer, rabbits, gophers, squirrels, gamebirds and fish were the most important animal food source of the Southern Maidu. There doesn't appear 1 • to be any argument of the importance of acorns as a food mainstay. Acorns were collected in the fall and stored in granaries until needed. The processing of acorns consisted of shelling the acorn, putting the shelled nut into a mortar cup and then pounding the nut into fine meal particles. Acorns contain tannic acid which is very bitter thereby necessitating a leaching process to remove the tannic acid from meal. Properly prepared acorns are very nutritious and versatile. The Southern Maidu methodology of acorn collecting and processing mirrored that of the Miwoks. A good example of the acorn processing methods can be observed at the Chaw'se Grinding Rock State Park in Volcano. The Present Pre-History Sites Two prehistory sites have been identified on the Lorna Rica Ranch. These sites have been surveyed by the Anthropology Department of the University of California, Sacramento. The precise location of the two prehistory sites will not be divulged in this report to protect them from potential vandalism and trespassers. Members of the NCHLC research committee reconnoitered the village site and w~re able to readily locate four housepits and two mortars nearby. By utilizing the formula of computing individuals (as cited above) at 7~ people per house, it is reasonable to assume that the Lorna Rica Southern Maidu Village was inhabited by at least 30 persons. The bedrock mortars located on the Lorna Rica Ranch surveyed by the CSUS Archeological Department indicated eleven (11) grinding rocks. The NCHLC survey revealed that the area was thickly overgrown with black berry bushes and it appeared that the site had been back filled with soil. The site is well documented by the Archeological report, thereby alleviating the necessity of the NCHLC of actually uncovering the position at this time. 2. McCarty/Lama Rica Ranch That region in Nevada County which makes up the current Lorna Rica Ranch can be traced back through the County Book of Deeds to the 1850s, when the ranch belonged to Henry McCarty. Early land descriptions for the purpose of legal transactions were based on the boundaries of _adjoining property owners, or some physical landmark, e.g. a blazed tree or a fence line. That manner of property description creates a difficult task when attempting to convert that style into modern topographical plat lines. The United States rectangular system of surveying public lands provides a simple method of property description, one that is used on most deeds. The Lorna Rica Ranch (which in Spanish means rich land) is located in township 16, sections 19, 24, 25, and 30.~storically, the original area.known as the_McCarty Ranch in 1860 was described as being located in township 16 sections 24 and 25. (See Appendix B) Researching the deeds located in the Recorder's Office revealed that the Lorna Rica Ranch has been known by many names: The McCarty Ranch, The Old Jennings Ranch, The Portuguese Ranch, The Macari Ranch, and the Mitchell Ranch. Current time restraints have prevented a detailed investigation of all deeds discovered. When examined further the dee~s will certainly reveal additional historical data and avenues of research. It is interesting to note that the legal description and documents reflect that the Lorna Rica Rancho and the Lorna Rica Ranch were two separate entities when owned by Errol MacBoyle. The Lorna Rica Rancho was located in township 16 section 30, which is also the current location of the MacBoyle Lake, World's Fair Fountain and the airport. The Lorna Rica Ranch is where the stables and the caretaker•s house are situated. The Idaho Maryland Mines Corporation purchased large tracts of land from individuals and· the Foothill Farms in the early and mid 1930s, which included the Lorna Rica Ranch and the Lorna Rica Rancho. Errol Mac~oyle acting as an individual, leased the Lorna Rica Ranch and Rancho from Idaho Maryland Mines Corporation. During Errol MacBoyle's guardianship the Lorna Rica Ranch and Rancho were transformed into show places. The Nevada City Nugget observed in 1932, that the Lorna Rica Ranch 3. was '' ••. under the care of Mr. Larsen, an experienced orchardist of Placerville. • •• The orchard is one of the largest in the county, consiT~ing of 220 acres of pears, plums, apples and ·cherries." The construction of the Lorna Rica stables began in 1934. A description of the construction design and materials used for the stables is detailed by Milton Kiefer, a former carpenter who worked for MacBoyle.

  • San Francisco Examiner September 22, 1889
    The Archive of American Journalism Ambrose Bierce Collection San Francisco Examiner September 22, 1889 Prattle A Record of Individual Opinion It is stated that the furniture for the new cruiser Charleston “would grace a palace.” Mention is made of “magnificent sideboards with elaborate carvings and panels and fine mirrors,” “great heavy mahogany tables and desks of elaborate design and finish, and upholstered chairs by the score.” The cabins and staterooms, it is added, have sides “composed of panels of polished sycamore and teak, each of which is a gem of the cabinet-maker’s art.” It is to be hoped that the officers and sailors of the Charleston will harmonize with the beautiful environment. An Admiral out of keeping with the elaborate carvings, a midshipman who should not match the panels of polished sycamore, or an able seaman unable to subdue his complexion to the exact shade of the mahogany tables, would precipitate a grave artistic disaster-at-sea. If the vessel’s gunpowder is suitably perfumed with attar-of-roses, her guns gold-lated and operated by crews in silk attire, captained by Professors of Deportment, the national honor may be considered safe until there shall be a war. If our “new Navy” had no graver virtues, no more perilous perfections than gorgeous furniture, it would be well for us; but )in my humble judgment) we have not, and are not likely soon to have, a single war vessel that is worth the cost of its rudder. Our safety is to be found in the fact that the war vessels of other nations are no better.

  • The San Francisco Bay Area, California
    The San Francisco Bay Area, Can disaster be a good thing for the arts? In the California San Francisco Bay Area, the answer is a qualified “yes.” A terrible earthquake has shaken loose mil- lions of dollars for the arts, while urban sprawl has boosted the development of arts centers right in the communities where people live. After the Loma Prieta earthquake struck in 1989, many key institutions were declared unsafe and had to be closed, fixed and primped. Here’s what reopened in the past five years alone: American Conservatory Theatre (ACT), the city’s major repertory theater, for $27 million; the War Memorial Opera House, home of the San Francisco Opera and Ballet, for $88 million; and on the fine arts front, the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, for $40 million; and the Cantor Center for the Visual Arts at Stanford University, for $37 million. Another $130 million is being raised to rebuild the seismically crippled M.H. de Young Memorial Museum, and at least $30 million is being sought to repair the Berkeley Art Museum. Within San Francisco itself, a vital visual arts center has been forged just within the last five years with the opening of the new $62 million San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Meanwhile the Jewish Museum, the Asian Art Museum, the Mexican Museum and a new African-American cultural center all plan to move to seismically safe buildings in the area in the next two years. Art galleries, on the other hand, limp along compared with those in Los Angeles or New York.

  • The Orkustra
    THE ORKUSTRA This day-by-day diary of The Orkustra's live, studio, broadcasting and private activities is the result of two decades of research and interview work by Bruno Ceriotti, but without the significant contributions by other kindred spirits this diary would not have been possible. So, I would like to thank all the people who, in one form or another, contributed to this timeline: Jaime Leopold (RIP), Bobby Beausoleil, David LaFlamme, Henry Rasof, Nathan Zakheim, Stephen Hannah, Jesse Barish, Steve LaRosa, Rod Harper (RIP), Colin Hill, Ross Hannan, Corry Arnold, William Hjortsberg, Aldo Pedron, Klemen Breznikar, Reg E.

September 1966 Undoubtedly the most experimental and ecletically diverse band of the so-called 'San Francisco Sound', The Orkustra were put together by the infamous Bobby Beausoleil. A larger than life character with a mixed reputation ("He was like Bugs Bunny," says Orkustra's bandmate Nathan Zakheim. "Very in your face, enthuastic."), Robert Kenneth Beausoleil, aka 'Cupid', aka 'Bummer Bob', aka 'Bobby Snofox', was born on Thursday, November 6, 1947, in Santa Barbara, California. After dropping out of high school and let his hair grow out, Bobby moved to Los Angeles in search of fame and fortune in 1965. There, over the summer, he played a six-string rhythm guitar with The Grass Roots, a folk- rock band later known as LOVE, for only three weeks, and also made a cameo appearance (as 'Cupid') in the famous underground documentary movie Mondo Hollywood.

    July 17, 2020 Mayor London Breed and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors San Francisco City Hall 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place San Francisco, CA 94102 Re: Hotel cleaning standards Dear Mayor Breed & Supervisors: Along with my colleagues below, I write regarding the recently-passed Healthy Buildings Ordinance, which you are now considering adopting as a permanent standard for San Francisco hotels. During the passage of the initial ordinance, we heard numerous hotel representatives challenge the safety of daily room cleaning during the COVID-19 pandemic. We want to share our considered opinions on the subject. Hotel companies have stated that daily cleaning of guest rooms is unsafe In an opinion published in the San Francisco Examiner, Thomas J. Baltimore, chairman and CEO of Park Hotels & Resorts Inc., stated “by prioritizing daily cleaning of all guest rooms, there is a blatant disregard for the personal safety of housekeepers and guests”.i Similar statements were made during public testimony to the Board, including by the California Hotel & Lodging Association, the San Francisco Hotel Council, and numerous hotel companies.ii We are concerned that these statements misrepresent the scientific understanding of the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. We are also concerned that these statements may induce hotel guests, workers, and operators alike to take measures that are ill-advised during this pandemic. Almost all public health guidance has recommended more frequent and more thorough cleaning of surfaces. Daily cleaning of hotel rooms, with an opt-out for customers who want to, was the norm prior to COVID-19 and we do not believe that should change.
