‎All the Pacific Bank Lands in Madera Co. for Sale. This Valuable Property Practically Given Away caption title‎

‎Madera Ca 1890. Very good. Broadside 16.5 x 9.5 inches. Horizontal fold at center. A few very short closed tears at top edge. Even tanning; a couple of faint fox marks. A scarce broadside advertisement for a land sale north of Fresno during the late 19th century. The Bank of Madera went into liquidation in 1897. Pacific Bank to whom the local bank owed a good deal of money apparently took control of its real estate assets and promoted their fire sale via this illustrated broadside. The advertisement contains a plat map and table of available lots and states that "This land is situated about 2 1/2 miles southwest of the town of Madera is all under irrigation and is as good soil and there is in the County of Madera." Additional text promotes other available lots and emphasizes the low prices for which all are available. The sale was placed in the hands of the local attorney Robert Hargrove who according to a contemporary state report on recent bank failures was also one of the principal shareholders and president of the bank. We locate only one copy of this broadside at Berkeley. unknown books‎

Right edge trimmed slightly affecting image and text. A rare and giant cadastral map showing new subdivisions east of downtown Monterey in what are now the Del Monte area and the neighboring town of Seaside north of the present-day airport.

East of the hotel grounds are the newly organized neighborhoods of Live Oaks Park and Del Monte Grove north of the Del Monte Racetrack now the Monterey Fairgrounds. At the very center of the map is the Laguna del Rey and beyond the lagoon are several other extensively plotted areas called "Lake Side Tract" "Vista Del Rey Tract" "East Monterey" "Hot Springs Tract" and "Del Monte Heights" which now make up the town of Seaside. Property inland and to the east of these tracts is surveyed in larger unnamed plots. The map was compiled by Howard D. Severance who became the City Engineer of Monterey in 1906 and was responsible for several similar but smaller maps in the second half of that decade that are located at the Monterey Public Library. We do not locate any copies of the present map in OCLC. unknown books‎

‎California. Water‎

‎State Water Project Oroville Division. Major Construction Features and Recreation Areas caption title‎

‎Sacramento 1965. Very good. Large folding map 28 x 32 inches. Very minor wear at a few folds. With original mailing envelope somewhat worn and foxed. A surprisingly scarce map of the construction of Oroville dam and surrounding area in California. The dam is of recent fame for nearly failing in February 2017 when the spillways were on the verge of collapse leading to the evacuation of 188000 people. At the time of its construction in the 1960s it was one of the largest and most controversial water projects undertaken in the state. The map depicts the overall construction plan for the area including the dam itself anticipated reservoir areas tunnels and bridges highway relocations and many other features. The topographical detail of the map is extremely fine. There were issues of the map from 1964 one copy listed in OCLC 1966 three copies located and this 1965 issue with "Revised July 1965" printed in the lower right corner with just one copy located at the University of California Riverside. This copy is accompanied by the original mailing envelope not addressed or stamped indicating that the map was sold as a souvenir by the "Vista House" a view point overlooking the construction site. unknown books‎

‎California. Weber Creek Dam‎

‎Five Large Blueprints of Early Depression-Era Weber Dam Modifications‎

‎Placerville Ca 1929. Very good. Five blueprints measuring from approximately 24 x 34 to 29 x 41 inches. Tipped onto modern cardboard backing at left edge overlaid with brown paper. Light wear a couple of archival repairs at edges. Contemporary blind stamps. A group five large and fascinating blueprints that delineate proposed modifications to the Weber Dam near Placerville California that were carried out in 1930. The Dam was originally built in 1922 and 1923 without steel reinforcement and as a result improvements have been required periodically from its completion up to the present day. The designs present here outline the first set of such improvements overseen by an engineer named George W. Hawley in 1929 and 1930. These include the construction of new tunnels outlets gates and spillways and also include detailed topographical charts of the area surrounding the dam. The blueprints which were intended to accompany an engineer's report on the project are as follows: 1 Contour Map Showing Plan & Section of Dam and Location of Supply Tunnel & Wasteway. 2 Outlet Structures Showing Tunnel and Shaft Control Works & Appurtenances. 3 Details of Spillway. 4 Details of Tunnel Valves & Controls. 5 Contour Map of Borrow Area for Weber Creek Dam. The dam and the reservoir that it created managed by the El Dorado Irrigation District provide vital power and water services to area agriculture. The present plans comprise an important document of the early upkeep and development of the structure. unknown books‎

‎California: Bosqui Edward‎

‎ARCTIC OIL WORKS SAN FRANCISCO. CAL‎

‎1883. Oil on canvas 18 x 26 inches on original wooden stretcher with letters in lower margin after the lithographed view of the same title published by Bosqui. Very good. "Edward Bosqui was born in 1833 in Montreal of French descent. When he was about seventeen years old he decided to go to California. He went by way of Panama where like a good many others who headed for the Gold Rush in those days he became stranded. He worked his way up through Mexico a hazardous trip but young Bosqui survived the many hardships.He arrived in San Francisco in the latter part of 1850 and his first job was as cashier of the first bank to be established there. Afterwards he served as General Fremont's secretary. He first went into the printing business in 1859 at Clay and Leidesdorff Streets and stayed at that location for thirty-nine years. Bosqui did bookbinding as well as printing and lithography.He printed the EVENING BULLETIN in the early days of its existence and did a great deal of commercial label work" - Peters. <br> <br> The Arctic Oil Works was established on a Bay side pier between 17th and 16th streets in 1883 to produce refined oils from seals whales and elephant seals. Soon after opening it became the largest oil refinery on the West Coast. In 1902 the oil works became incorporated as part of Standard Oil. <br> <br> The painting is quite similar to the scarce lithographed view produced by Bosqui although more Impressionistic in style and without quite as much detail. The spelling mistakes in the address of the works "Potrcro" instead of Potrero and in the address of the offices "ZB" instead of 28 further suggest this painting to be after the lithographed view. The painting however shows considerable age is on the original stretcher and dates from the late 19th century. PETERS CALIFORNIA ON STONE pp.60-61. J.

‎Fresno Ca.: William Harvey 1890. Tinted map 32 1/4 x 23 1/4 inches. Text on verso. Minor edge wear. Some small neat splits at cross-folds five-inch closed separation along one fold with no loss. Very good. An elaborate and handsome map and promotional for agricultural land in Fresno California. The map was lithographed by the notable San Francisco firm of H.S. Crocker & Company. The map shows several "colonies" or "tracts" in a wide area of Fresno and what is most notable about it is the small amount of land still available for sale. Most of the lots shown had been sold and the owners' names are identified. Real estate agent William Harvey however still had thirty-two lots available in the South Washington Colony with terms as follows: "sold in 20-acre tracts all the ditches constructed by the owner conveying water to the highest point in every 20-acre lot; price $100 per acre. Terms one-fourth cash; balance any time within four years with interest at the rate of 8 per cent." The lower portion of the map is taken up with advertisements for a variety of local businesses including banks and agricultural concerns.

‎California: Lowden Henry L. and John F. Johnson‎

‎MAP OF MINING LANDS IN TRINITY COUNTY CAL‎

‎Weaverville Trinity County Ca 1890. Blueprint map 33 1/2 x 33 inches. Old folds a handful of small areas of loss on the left side and along folds minor staining. Good plus. Framed under plexiglass. An exceedingly rare blueprint map enumerating the mining prospects in Trinity County California in the late 19th century. Located in northwestern California between the towns of Eurkea and Redding Trinity County is better known as a logging region rather than for its mining. This map is revealing of the high level of mining activity in the county at the time. It shows rivers creeks lakes mountain ranges and other topographical features and is laid out in a grid pattern with lines delineating wagon roads trails and county boundaries. The reference key at bottom indicates places on the map where one can find auriferous gravel land containing gold-bearing quartz cinnabar and coal. Mining-related locations specifically identified on the map include the Hawkins Bar Mine the Golden Chest Quartz Mines the La Grange Mine the largest hydraulic mine in the county Musser Hill Mines Bullychoop Quartz Mines and others. A California court ruling known as the Sawyer Decision of 1884 aimed to protect California public lands and waterways from mining debris caused by hydraulic blasting of entire mountains. Judge Lorenzo Sawyer's ruling is sometimes referred to as California's first environmental law and it forced miners to look at alternatives for unearthing valuable minerals. Dredging gravel beds became a commonplace practice and the current map shows the way to numerous locations where miners might try their luck at this newest method. <br> <br> The map was compiled by Henry L. Lowden U.S. Deputy Mineral Surveyor and civil engineer and John F. Johnson topographical engineer. It is perhaps a precursor to what Vogdes calls the first map of Trinity County also compiled by Lowden and Johnson and published in 1894 as OFFICIAL MAP OF TRINITY COUNTY CALIFORNIA. Mining in the Trinity County region began slowly in the 1850s but was most active between 1880 and the late 1950s when over two million ounces of gold were produced mostly from placer mines. <br> <br> Rare with no copies in OCLC. unknown books‎

‎PORTS OF SAN FRANCISCO SAN DIEGO PUGET SOUND PORTLAND AND HONOLULU. COMPLIMENTS OF J.D. SPRECKELS & BROS. cover title‎

‎San Francisco: Printed by Wm. C. Brown 1889. 65411pp. including one chromolithographic advertisement plus three colored folding maps and four photographic plates of ships. Original brown cloth gilt title on front board within gilt border. Minor wear and soiling corners lightly bumped and worn front hinge a bit weak. Small ink stamp on blank facing first text leaf. Clean closed five-inch tear to map of San Diego Bay. The second edition greatly enlarged and improved over an edition published in 1886. This scarce guide to West Coast ports was produced by J.D. Spreckels & Bros. a major firm of commercial merchants and shippers on the Pacific Coast. Judging from the elaborate binding and production it was likely issued in a small edition for presentation to current and potential clients. The text gives much useful information on the ports of San Francisco San Diego Portland Puget Sound Vancouver Island and Honolulu including customs house rules rates for towing dockage pilotage and stevedores as well as the qualities of the ports and cities and other services provided. <br> <br> There are three attractive folding colored maps which illustrate San Francisco Harbor the piers of the city of San Francisco and San Diego Bay respectively. The photographic plates show ships operated by Spreckels' firms. One of the ads at the rear is an attractive chromolithographic notice for the Oceanic Steamship Company founded by John D. Spreckels which made runs from San Francisco to Hawaii New Zealand and Australia. <br> <br> The present copy has a small ink stamp on a front blank reading: "Barque Ingrid Captain Albert Andersen." The barque Ingrid was a Norwegian cargo ship active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Little is known of the ship's captain Albert Andersen unless this is the same Albert Andersen noted as a Norwegian steamship engineer in early April 1912 when he boarded as a 3rd Class passenger on the ill-fated Titanic. He died in the famous shipwreck and was buried in Nova Scotia after his body was recovered by the Mackay Bennett. <br> <br> John D. Spreckels was prominent in San Diego affairs helping to develop Coronado Island as well as the city's railroad and ports. The Spreckels family were also well-known philanthropists but perhaps best-known in California as manufacturers of sugar from beets and whose factories had the unfortunate side effect of imparting unpleasant odors upon many a small town. <br> <br> The Spreckels company issued a similarly titled work in 1886 covering only San Francisco with twenty pages of text and a map.
