Title:

Newcastle Development Association minutes and hydraulic mining news clippings, 1896-1927
Newcastle

Abstract:

Ledger book containing meeting minutes of the Newcastle Development Association from April 11, 1896 to February 26, 1907. Beginning in 1926, this ledger was reused for the unrelated purpose of pasting in news clippings pertaining to hydraulic mining and its resultant flooding problems. At that time a label reading "Clippings on Hydraulic Mining Jan 21, 1926- " was glued to the cover.

Date:

1896 (issued)

Subject:

n-us-ca
Newcastle Development Association.
Floods -- California
Hydraulic mining -- California
Newcastle (Calif.)

Note:

The Newcastle Development Association was formed on April 11, 1896 with George D. Kellogg as President, its purpose being to promote Newcastle as a good place to live and work. Among this organization's accomplishments were the publication of a brochure, and the raising of $2000 to install a town water system. Since this ledger does not contain minute meetings after February 26, 1907, it is possible that the Newcastle Development Association ceased to exist at that time, although such is not known for certain.
