Used every few pages, with large blank spots left open for additional entries through time. Particularly fascinating are the segregations between racial labor groups, here Chinese, whites and blacks.

B. First entry is “cost of warehouse corner of Sansome and Broadway, 1860. “Paid Templeton’s bill bricks, …cash paid Cosgrave & Bindle for mason work on basement…cash paid Caleb Hyatt for services as architect…” trough page 31. Then starts a series of Mining Company entries:

D. Honest G&SMC 1864, cash paid for freight and drayage on quartz rock, .. Bosqui’s bill stock book” Here Bosqui, a prominent printer in SF, probably printed the Honest G&S MC stocks;
