Crescent
City P O
County seat of Del Norte Co,
is a flourishing town of about 400 inhabitants. It is
situated 90 miles north of Eureka, on the southerly side
of a low promontory, extending from the Coast Range
Mountains. At the site of the town it is low timber
land, scarcely elevated above the possible reach of
running tides. The harbor is an open roadsted, affording
good shelter in summer, but unprotected against the
southerly winds which prevail during the winter months.
The town is well laid out and compactly built. It
contains a good public school, the number of scholars
enrolled numbering about one hundred and fifty. There
are two churches, a Methodist and Roman Catholic.
Of
societies there are organized lodges of Masons, Odd
Fellows, United Workmen, and Good Templars. Two weekly
papers are published, the Crescent City Courier and the
Del Norte Record.
The
principal industry is the manufacture of lumber,
although it has a large mineral and agricultural country
properly tributary to it. Gold, iron, and chrome mines,
are found within 12 miles of the town. The latter have
been worked at intervals since 1869, and considerable
ore shipped. The gold mines consist of quartz, placer,
and beach, which have been worked to some extent. The
iron mines have not been developed, although efforts
have been made to secure the necessary capital for that
purpose. Several copper mines are located about 30 miles
distant, one of which is said to yield very rich ore.
Communication is maintained with San Francisco by
steamer.
