Found following after review of Grass Valley listing
of individuals and businesses:

Can find no Chinn/Chin surname

TOC indicates there's an ad at "Grass Valley, inside
first cover". Have tried different schemes to find
this page and have been unable to do so. Could be it
was missing in the copy of Bean's that was scanned for
the microfiche in Heritage Quest. Exchange Hotel is
listed in the Grass Valley listing of individuals and
businesses at the corner of Main and Church, but no
info is provided on associated individuals (which is
the case in some other businesses).

W. Glasson listed as a blacksmith at Taylor Foundry.
3 Glasson or close variations, all miners.
1 Russell, a physician
Henry Rowe listed as a blacksmith at Eureka Mine.
(Rowe on your Surname list).

4 Hocking and 1 Hockins, all miners

About it.
