Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of Yreka Bakery standing along the side of a dirt street passing through Yreka. A dirt street stretches through the image on an upward angle from the lower left corner and receding into the distance at right. The bakery lines the left side of the road. It is of lumber construction and is viewed at an angle. The short side is nearest to camera at left and the long side runs parallel to the road. A tall stovepipe extends from the center of the roof and out of frame. Signage atop the roof reads, "BAKERY AND CONFECTIONERY." Fencing extends from the long side of the building, towards the left and out-of-frame. Posters are affixed to the side of the fence; they read: [first sign unreadable], "MASTIFF PLUG CUT FOR THE HAIR [... ?] MASTIFF PLUG CUT [... ?]," and "[SMGEE?] PLUM LONG CUT." Beyond the far side of the bakery, a house lines the road. Trees and utility poles stand along the right side of the road as it stretches towards the horizon. Text from negative sleeve: 1338. Yreka, Calif. 1898. I took father to Yreka, California in 1898 to visit his old mining grounds where he mined in 1859-1865. 1. The Court House or jail at Yreka as it looked when we were there. 2. The original YREKA BAKERY where the miners got their bread, pies and cakes in the late 50's and early 60's. The name spells either backward or forward. 3. 4. 5. Three pictures of George M. West standing by the only log cabin on Greenhorn Creek where he mined. This gulch was once filled with cabins and miners. 6. A very poor film of the foundation of the old cabin built by George M.
