Payroll log of Miner’s name, time pay rates and monthly pay. August 1912 to August 1913. Interestingly the pay rates varied from $2.50 to $4.00 per day which was less than the Comstock bonanza days in the 1860’s and 1870’s. Only a few pages wee used. The Forbestown district is in southeastern Butte County about 15 miles due east of Oroville. It includes the Feather Falls area. The Forbestown Consolidated was an Au-Ag-Cu mine located about 1 miles north of Forbestown. “Operations were started in 1912 with repairing the shaft to a depth of 1,600 feet along the Gold Bank and Golden Queen claims. A new 20-stamp mill and cyanide plant were installed.” [The Minerals Yearbook , 1912]. Very fine.
