Hi Bernd, Yes you are right on the date, the near
turn of the century should have been just before not
just after. I switched something else A Ekman did on
both dates that led to my confusion. The site is
consistent still. Spring Valley is north of Oroville.
Around 1900 Oroville took up mainly 2 blocks, and
Spring Valley was seen to be 10 miles out. Nowadays
Oroville has had a century of growing, and the town
edge is now a lot closer to Spring Valley. I guess it
all depends on what time reference you wish to
consider. The place is the same though,,

regards,, Bill Anderson
