Money Hidden in Old Sierra County Bank Floor
A Hillsboro dispatch dated January 21 reports workers uncovering a stash of money while remodeling the Sierra County Bank building. The adobe structure’s double wall and history as a saloon in the 1880s suggest the hoard was buried after late night gambling. The bank preserves the funds in its strong box until the owner can prove rightful claim.
