Trinity County
Population 3,719; chiefly mining. As the
gold miners were the cause of the first settlement of the
county, so mining has continued to be the chief industry of the
population from that time until the present. Some little fruit
is raised, but not sufficient to warrant the classing of that
industry as among the resources of the county. Assessed
valuation, $1,419,364.
