TAYLORVILLE
Post and telegraph office. Situated at the south end of Indian Valley, on
Indian creek (branch of Feather river), twenty- two miles, by an excellent
wagon road, from Quincy. Population, three hundred. Elevation, 3,479
feet. Indian Valley is a beautiful locality. It comprises 17,000 acres of
rich land, whereon all the small grains and fine fruit is raised.
Taylorville was settled by the late Job T. Taylor, in 1852. The log cabin,
which he then built, still stands as a monument of the pioneer days.
Beside it stands a commanding structure, now being conducted by his widow
as a first-class hotel. The Vernon House, kept by Mr. Hardgrave, is
situated in the center of town, and affords good accommodations. The
surrounding country offers both mining and agricultural advantages.

A post office, in the southern part of the county, on the border of Sierra
and twenty-five miles distant, in a northeasterly direction, from
Downieville in that county. It is the location of some mineral springs,

resort.
