I have known for a long time I was not a favorite of his, and now I know why. You know what a little bunch of mischief Alice Barnes is.
Prospectors and miners were often robbed and murdered at this place. The Heuness Pass Road and the Donner Road branch in Sardine Valley, the former going through by Webber Lake, and the latter through the present site of Truckee.
