17_188 Indian Creek to Happy Camp (Reeve's Ranch) [July 20, 1907] Happy Camp is quite a bit of a settlement. But it is old, fearfully down at the heels. It is old. Its palmy days were in the fiftys.

Not the saloonkeeper, nor various dignified old loafers of the days of 50-60, but "Baugh." Baugh, who owns a pack train running between Yreka and Happy Camp. Baugh who is a Chinaman, one of these very jolly (see p. 202b) Chinamen of the most characteristic and likeable type in all the Californias and known to all Californians from the days of old. He has a wife and children in Yreka (see p. 202a). and is a "heap smart Chinaman" according to one of his compatriots. Mr. Sampson wanted a crupper for his saddle mule because there was a little pimple of a sore under the tail; his cloth crupper would not do.

Let him get well again! -Coming down Indian Camp we passed "Classic Hill," a placer mining camp in the forest. |
