From Honey Lake

September 4, 1859

We are informed that up to a recent date about 1200 emigrant wagons had passed through Susanville, Honey Lake, this season, and some 4,000 souls. May of these emigrants have found their way into Shasta county.

A few days since several wagons with a number of men, women and children, looking dusty and way-worn, drove into our town.

We welcome these tired travelers. Having made the same trip, away back in 1849, we know how they feel, and congratulate them that their toilsome trip has ended.

At the time our Honey Lake correspondent wrote, the market stood thus: Flour 10 cents per pound, potatoes 6c., bacon 35c., beef 15c., coffee 35c. Wages from one to five dollars per day. Stock low.
