Miner Meeting Reduces Recorder Post In Battle Creek District
From Narmey Creek on January 27, 1877 editors report a miner's meeting in Spooner's store led to declaring the Recorder's office vacant and electing Ed Turner by a large margin after heated debate. The gathering featured whisky, barroom harangues, and clashes among Barnett, Timblin, Hooper, and others, amid claims of irregu larities and disputed mining rights. A correspondent reflects on disappointment with gold yield and describes Battle Creek as barren, with deep bedrock and few pros pects, while noting rapid town growth and various claims and prospects along the creek and surrounding settlements.
