agriculture. There is no kind of fruit that will not do well in
Napa count}', and her wines hold an unchallenged position, her
success resting upon the production of light table wines, red
and white. There are 140 wine-cellars, large and small, most of
which afford a market for other grape-growers. Dairying is one
of the important industries, and one that is constantly on the
increase. Quicksilver mines have been successfully worked,
requiring the employment of many men. Assessed valuation,
$14,730,168.

Nevada County
Population, 17,369; mining and
fruit-growing. Nevada City and Grass Valley are the center of a
region whose richness as a gold-producing district is equaled by
its horticultural and agricultural productiveness. Oranges are
freely grown in Nevada county; the production of pears and
apples is immense, and all small fruits and berries thrive well.
Hay is one of the staple productions. The lumbering interests of
the county are very great, and thrive with unwonted vigor. On
the Truckee river alone the year's cut aggregates 32,000,000
feet, while the sales were 3,000,000 feet in excess of the cut.
v Assessed valuation of property in the county, $5,933,882.

Plumas County
Population, 4,933; mining and lumbering. Grain and vegetables
are grown quite extensively in some sections, and this is an
important fruit county, orchards many miles in extent making of
the foothills a continuous belt of fruit-bearing trees. Although
there are districts where logging is carried on, the timber
transported by means of flumes and the sawmills furnishing
several millions of feet of lumber every year, there are
extensive sections where the trees are not yet perceptibly
thinned, and it is evident that Plumas for many years will
possess a valuable lumber interest. Assessed valuation,
$2,322,090.
