' The Indian Nantes. The- original names were of course Indian, and a few of these have been preserved, as Wasco, Wallowai Uma tilla and Telocaset.

' This resulted in an influx of set tlers, the first town beins Auburn, named by California miners after Au burn in that state, and certainly now most appropriate for that "Deserted Village.". ; "; ' ' . " - . Humboldt Basin Is also; a -California name. The Auburn -ditch which brought water for th&. placr miniBg "is now used for buf Baker water sup ply, the name of the surveyor has been preserved In Goodrich creek. The need of a name by "which the prospectors might record their claims led to many names being given, often thsse were suggested by the wild game which' was then abundant Beaver Creek, Elk Creek, Bear Gulch; Deer Creek, Buck Gulch and In a sim ilar way Trout Cresk, ; Rattlesnake Gulch, Salmon Creek,'. Crane Creek, and Mosquito Gulch.' ' ' h ; Often the names' were suggested by natural' conditions,' as Granite Cwek, Rye Valley from the wild rye found there, 1 Tamarack Flat, 'Aider Springs, Huckleberry fountain, Wil low Creek, Juniper Flat; Pine Creek and Sunflower Flat ' ' , Captain Stafford and his party who were camping bn'wnat Is1 now th-e farm of W.:l C.
