Addressed to Santos Bardella. From Gregorio Tomey. For ne package valued at $225. Fiddletown is in Amador County. The town was first settled by Missourians in 1849 and in the 1850s served as a trading center for a number of mining camps in the area. The town also had one of the largest Chinese communities in the state. At the time of its founding, placer mining was the most popular mining technique, which is heavily dependent on water. The local water source, Dry Creek, ran dry during the summer months, during which time the miners were said to be "fiddling around," thus the name. Its name was changed to Oleta from 1878 to 1932.
