ii. 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 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. (Refer to Appendix D)
Once the stables were built, MacBoyle housed a "prize strain of Percheron show horses ... After a few years of concentrating on Percherons, MacBoyle turned his attention to thoroughbreds. The accounts of the special care rendered to the breeding of thoroughbreds have lent an air of awe and mystic to the Ranch.
Even today, visitors on guided tour cannot help but be impressed with the workmanship and quality of materials used in construction of the famed Lorna Rica Stables built in 1934. The key-lock system utilized to ensure that the keepers of the stables made their required hourly stall checks is still evident.
4. Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad
The Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad was built to fill several important needs: (1) to transport lumber and wood products within the county, (2) to ship gold, lumber, and agricultural products out of the county, (3) to supply local markets with goods from outside the county and (4) to provide passenger service between local stations and the transcontinental railroad at Colfax. Gold mines were in constant need of lumber and machinery in order to keep the mines operating. Hauling freight, passengers and commodities began in 1876 and continued until August 1942.
In the railroad's 66 year history of operation, approximately a quarter of a billion dollar5 in gold ingots was transported in locked combination cars.
Passengers traveling from Colfax to Grass Valley could see evidences of the gold mines from the Narrow Gauge. The mines that were observable were the New Brunswick, Idaho-Maryland and the Empire Mines.
The citizens of Nevada County delighted in every facet of the Narrow Gauge's construction and operation, and fondly referred to the little train as the "Never Come Never Go."
The tracks of the Narrow Gauge stretched from Colfax to Nevada City by way of Grass Valley. The tracks ran over rivers, through tunnels and negotiated diffi9ult terrain. All in all, the rail tracks covered 22.64 miles. (See Appendix E)
The NCNGRR nearly went out of business in 1927, but local citizens bailed it out for a time. The demise of the Narrow Gauge was caused by the outbreak of World War II. The federal government's priority in 1942 was the intensive massing of the war industry, which included the desperately needed scrap metal and ore. When Federal Order L-208 closed the gold mines, the Narrow Gauge owners f~led for and were granted permission to shut down operations.
The rails were taken up from the rail beds and sold for scrap in 1942.
s. NCNGRR Sites
The last remnants of the Narrow Gauge Railroad on the Lorna Rica Ranch are two sections of earth and rock roadbeds as surveyed by .the CSUS Archeological Department.
The NCHLC committee was able to located an abandoned NCNGRR bed located in the paddock at the intersection of Idaho-Maryland and Brunswick Roads. A raised berm covered with some crushed rock that once served as ballast for the railroad times is all that remains today.
Idaho-Maryland Mine
The Idaho Mine was worked from 1863-1956. Many of the original investors of the Idaho Mine would later be involved with the formation of the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad. The Maryland Mine Company purchased the property of the Idaho Mine in 1893, 9and the Idaho-Maryland Development Company took over in 1901.
In 1915, the consolidation of the Idaho, Maryland, Brunswick and Union Hill mines by Errol MacBoyle had commenced. In 1919, Harry P. Whitney of New York along with a consortium of backers began working of the Idaho shaft. By 1925, Harry Whitney had died and ijver $8,000,000 had been invested with no equitable 1 results.
Errol MacBoyle took over the Idaho-Maryland Mine along with his partners E.L. Oliver and F.W. McNair in 1925. With a lot of hard work and determination, within a few years the Idaho-Maryland Mine enterprise had located a rich ore vein. The mine produced approximately $25 million in gold within the next fifteen years. The mine was forced to close due to the onset of World War II. When the mine reopened after the war, very little g9td was forthcoming. The mine closed for the final time in 1956. (See Appendix F)
Idaho-Maryland Mine Site
The actual Idaho-Maryland Mine is not located within the
6. perimeter of the Lorna Rica Ranch, but the archeological survey of 1984 reported five separate features which aided the operation of the-Idaho-Maryland Mine: (1) the remains of a diversion dam, (2) a portion of the Idaho-Maryland ditch, (3) a section of riveted-iron penstock with remains of the control station, (4) a second section of riveted-iron penstock with wooden flume, and (5) a reservoir which serviced both the mine and the ranch.
The NCHLC did not reconnoiter these sites.
7. Errol MacBoyle
Errol MacBoyle was born in Oakland, California on September 28, 1880, the son of George and Lulu MacBoyle. MacBoyle's education was in the public schools in Oakland, and the University of California where he obtained his degree in the field of Engineer of Mines. He continued his education attending Columbia University studying geology.
Errol MacBoyle began his life long involvement with mining by initially working as a mucker in 1902 for the Murchie Mine at Nevada City. This was a seasonal position and after a time MacBoyle started working for the Gaston Mine. MacBoyle was a quick learner and with the practical knowledge he gained, he advanced to the position of a surveyor for the North Star Mine.
In 1910, Errol MacBoyle was commissioned to investigate a mine in the Philippine Islands. While in the Philippine's MacBoyle contracted a tropical illness and returned to the United States. This experience promoted MacBoyle's first official report as a certified mining engineer.
From the years 1911 to 1915, MacBoyle was employed in the position of an examining and reporting engineer for the California State Mining Bureau. Errol MacBoyle was the author of The Mines and Mineral Resources Report of Nevada, Sierra and Plumas Counties.
In 1915, Errol MacBoyle along with his associates, Edwin Lettis Oliver and Frederick McNear, began the consolidation of the Eureka, Idaho, Maryland and the Union Hill mines. In 1919, Harry Payne Whitney under the development of Bulkeley Wells, added additional capital to the consolidated venture. By 1925, the consolidated mines known as the Idaho-Maryland Mines under Whitney had failed to locate sufficient gold to make the venture profitable, so began efforts to terminate operations. Errol MacBoyle refused to believe that the Idaho Maryland Mines would not be lucrative if his ideas where applied. By refinancing aspects of the mining operation and by the innovative concept of the tribute system, Errol MacBoyle was able to continue the mining operation. Under the tribute system the miner's furnished the labor and equipment without being paid a wage. When gold was discovered the profits were split between the miners and the mine on a 50-50 ratio.
By 1926, Errol MacBoyle's diligence and faith in the Idaho Maryland Mine paid off with the discovery of a rich vein of
a. gold ore. The Idaho-Maryland Mines produced a collective total of $40 million.
1926 was the year that Errol MacBoyle married Glendolyn Clifford in San Francisco. Glendolyn was the daughter of a plumber. Prior to her marriage to Errol MacBoyle, Glendolyn was a secretary working for a Montgomery Street law office in San Francisco. The good fortune of Errol MacBoyle allowed for the MacBoyle's to have the opportunity to live and entertain lavishly in their San Francisco residence. Contemporary accounts indicate that the MacBoyle's Nob Hill dwelling contained such unique items as gold lavatory fixtures and gold doorknobs. Mrs. MacBoyle resided predominately in San Francisco while Errol lived in Grass Valley and tended to the business of the mine.
Mrs. Glendolyn MacBoyle developed into San Francisco's premier socialite, and was fondly called the "Golden Lady" by the San Francisco press. She was the proud owner of an exquisite jewel collection which included a domed diamond ring priced at $25,000.
With the help of his friend, Doctor Carl Power Jones, Errol MacBoyle began planning their dream of building a hospital for Grass Valley. MacBoyle donated over $400,000 for the Grass Valley Memorial Hospital that was built at the location of the former Prisk Orchard. Neither Doctor Jones or Errol MacBoyle would live to see their dream completed.
Errol MacBoyle was the Chairman of the California State Mining Board in the early 1940s and was associated with the Italian Price Gelasia Caetani as an engineer consultant. He traveled the globe to study the world's money condition, built the Lorna Rica Airport to transport gold to the San Francisco mint, purchased the 2,000 acre Fountain Grove Winery in Santa Rosa, California and rehabilitated it. During the depression years Errol MacBoyle created jobs for the local unemployed. MacBoyle also financially supported the construction of st. Patrick's Catholic Church. MacBoyle also created the Lorna Rica Ranch. (Refer to the Lorna Rica Ranch Section.)
Errol MacBoyle was an avid sportsman and a strong conservationist. He advanced his philosophy on protecting nature and wildlife by making the Idaho-Maryland Mines and the Lorna Rica Ranch a refuge for quail, pheasant and partridges that MacBoyle released in the hills. MacBoyle had the full support of the Department of Fish and Game Commission.
On October 23, 1943, Errol MacBoyle suffered a stroke which left him an invalid and constantly under medical care and
9. supervision. MacBoyle loved the Lorna Rica Ranch and the fountain and reservoir he had constructed on the ranch. (Refer to the World's Fair Fountain/ MacBoyle Lake section) He spent the last years of his life enjoying the peaceful beauty of the fountain and lake.
On November 4, 1949, Errol MacBoyle ~~ed at his Lorna Rica residence and was buried in Grass Valley.
The MacBoyles were childless. After Errol MacBoyle's death Glendolyn remarried. MacBoyle's last known next of kin, a cousin, died in Laguana Beach, California several years ago.
On researching the life of Errol MacBoyle, one is struck by the financial support he gave to ~he community. During the Depression years he hired anyone who was willing to work; He raised funds and supported the Grass Valley Hospital; He was chiefly responsible for the establishment of the Lorna Rica Airport; He believed in a mine when others only saw failure; and in the end Nevada County was far richer because of the life of Errol MacBoyle.
As of 1992, there isn't a monument, plaque or structure honoring the man who loved Nevada County. The sad irony is that Errol MacBoyle's legacy could be lost forever unless steps are taken to honor his contributions and life, soon.
1 0. MacBoyle Lake and World's Fair Fountain
Errol MacBoyle, upon visiting the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition located on Treasure Island (also known as the World's Fair) was impressed with fountains located at the fair. The fountain that had captured Errol MacBoyle's attention the "Fountain of Western Waters" was i.n the Court of Pacifica. MacBoyle decided to have a replica of the fountain built on his Lorna Rica Rancho. The site of the fountain was to be integrated with the rese~voir system that furnished water for the mines and the ranch. · Milton Kiefer worked on the fountain and recalled many details of the fountain's construction. The fountain was outfitted with the actual electrical wiring, electrical panels, and lights that were used in the original Fountain of Western Waters. A speaker system was also installed in the fountain. (Refer to Appendix G)
The fountain was placed at one end of the reservoir, and at the opposite end was the gazebo. This structure housed the control room and electrical wiring for the fountain and lake. The rock work on the bridge and the gazebo were the expertise of an Italian stone mason. Local lore says Errol MacBoyle and Doctor Jones played cards and planned construction of a new Grass Valley Hospital in the gazebo. At night MacBoyle could sit in the qazebo, turn on the fountain and the fountain lights, and enjoy -music floating off the water. Here MacBoyle intended to build his horne overlooking the fountain and lake, and with that end in sight he had trees brought in from various sites and planted alongside the reservoir. One account of the Lorna Rica Ranch history contends that the landscape project was carried out under the supervision of John McLaren, the chief landscape architect of the Golden Gate Park, ygo also was a co-creator of the gardens at the World's Fair.
Since MacBoyle's fountain was inspired by the original Fountain of the Western Waters and parts from the original fountain can be found within the structure, the fountain is often referred to as "the World's Fair Fountain." {See Appendix H)
The aesthetic beauty of the fountain and the surrounding .. grounds suggests that the body of water should be considered as more a lake rather than a mere reservior. Clearly, it would be unfair to refer to it as anything less than "MacBoyle's Lake." (See Appendix I) ·
11 • Miscellaneous Information
Many stories have been passed down from one generation to another surrounding the history of the Lorna Rica Ranch. The acccuracy of a few stories has failed under close scrutiny. For instance, MacBoyle's thoroughbred horse, Time Supply was not a Kentucky Derby Winner, nor is the fountain the same fountain that graced the 1939 World's Fair.
The Commission has yet to verify the following bits of Ranch lore:
Harry s Truman may have visited the Lorna Rica Ranch prior to his presidency. (There is evidence that MacBoyle had contact with Truman when Truman was in Congress.)
There is a picture that seems to show President Theodore Roosevelt standing next to a hitching post on the Lorna Rica Ranch. (Evidence shows that Roosevelt did in fact visit Nevada County on May 19, 1905.)
The caretaker's house at the Lorna Rica Ranch is said to have been built circa 1862.
A Mr. Gilmore is reputed to have had a polo field constructed on the hilltop near the "World's Fair Fountain."
A ditch from Cascade Shores may have supplied the water to MacBoyle Lake.
Errol MacBoyle is said to have been the primary financial source of the construction of Saint Patrick Catholic Church in Grass Valley.
We believe additional research and interviews may shed further information.
12. Recommendations
The Nevada County Historical Landmarks Commission recommend the following mitigation measures to ensure that the historically significant features of the Lorna Rica Ranch be protected:
1. That the historic resources located on the property listed in this report, be included in publicly accessible open space preserves. We understand that the Ranch buildings may remain privately owned after completion of the plan. We also understand that a portion of the Narrow Gauge bed directly behind the Ranch may be affected by development. However, the portion of the bed in the Wolf Creek corridor should be retained if possible.
2. As a condition of approval for the development of any specific land use areas adjacent to the resources listed above, that the developer should fund the preparation and installation of interpretative plaques or displays that outline the history of each feature. The Commission favors something more than a simple bronze plaque. The use of permanent weather proof displays containing photographs, sketches and text are preferred. The Landmarks Commission prefers to be involved in selecting the final d~sign for these plaques at the future developer•s expense. The following locations are suggested:
a. Adjacent to MacBoyle Lake possibly utilizing the gazebo. This display to recount the achievement of Errol MacBoyle.
b. Between Wolf Creek and Idaho Maryland Road, west of Brunswick Road. A display recalling the Narrow Gauge Railroad and Idaho Maryland Mine.
c. A display adjacent to the archeological Midden site on Brunswick Road explaining Native American customs and background in a format acceptable to the local Native American community, perhaps in conjunction with a museum and/or a round house that might be constructed by the Native Americans. d. Along an appropriate public road or trail adjacent to the possibly privately owned portion of the Lorna Rica Ranch complex, to describe the history and the
1 3. operations of the horse raising, etc.
3. If possible, the Landmarks Commission would appreciate mitigation measures that would provide for limited but reasonable periodic access to the Ranch facility for the purpose of historical documentation and research with the permission of the owner.
4. As an additional mitigation measure designed to protect historical resourcess yet undiscovered; the Commission suggests that prior to any development to or on the original McCarty Ranch, a professional historian be retained to investigate the historical significance of that sight.
