RIP Henry H. Hartley Founder Of The Excelsior Mine & Summit City At Meadow Lake

During the gold rush some of the first men that set their eyes on the region were trappers, explorers and mines. One trapper in particular Henry Hartley an Englishman came to the region via Henness Pass Trail in 1861 and decided to make a secluded home here. He would travel to Cisco Grove time to time but mainly lived in isolation trapping until 1864 when he discovered a few gold flakes found infused in a black vein in some granite rocks. Being that he was with two friends at the time he began to do some mining here and the rest is history they incorporated the Excelsior Company which led to other prospectors staking claims and other companies trying to set up shop along this lake around the same very time. Henness Pass Road was the primary emigrant trail from Virginia City, Nevada as early as 1849 and the only mountain pass that existed at the time. During the Gold Rush, this often forgotten highway served as a supply road for the Comstock Lode silver mines in Nevada. In 1852, Henness Pass Road was a wagon toll road from Nevada to the gold field of California. Between 1860 and 1868, traffic was so heavy at times during its heyday that freight wagons traveled by day and stagecoaches drove at night. The road continued to be used until the the completion of the transcontinental railway in 1868 and it brought into many of Meadow Lakes first pioneers.

Hartley may have been the first miner to set eyes on gold here he was not the first man. Before the gold mining camp ever was developed in 1858 a dam was constructed which still today is in use. Many of the mining towns below Meadow Lake needed water therefore reservoirs were formed then redirected by aqueducts. The dam constructed out of native stone is about 900' in length which cross a ravine, 15' in width and about 50' in height. The water that is harnessed here would serve as the principal water supply for several months a year to the residents of Nevada City further below the lake mean miles downstream. When you first look at the dam you can clearly see its covered in cement but if you study the back side the granite motored wall still remains. There use to be pipes that transported the water to other mining districts in the area today they are crushed so you can cross the marshland below the dam. Technically the biggest more prominent structure that still stands today at this once booming town is the dam and perhaps some old foundations hidden in the woods behind it. Other reservoirs around the same time period in the same area therefore make sure you check out the Fordyce and French Lakes galleries. The true gold found here was not minerals or ore but in actuality water which was a vital resource to many of the other mining towns nearby.

The camp that begin here was called Excelsior named after Hartley's company in 1865 and unlike most mining camps the area surrounding the lake was surveyed for streets to be laid out which led to a the construction of what was a fairly large city of its day. Its very easy to hike down many of the ghost towns roads today and see visible platted streets meandering through the Tahoe National Forest. Downtown was cleared of trees the lumber would be used in the mines or to construct many of the towns structures over 700 of them to be more precise. If you decide you want to take many of the roads you will see clearings in the woods where stores, homes, saloons and other businesses once stood.

Once editorials came out in local newspapers in towns nearby a flood of miners and pioneers came to the area. When you sift through our Meadow Lake addition on our website what I want our viewers to understand that this is place where the regions first pioneers came here with high hopes, aspirations and dreams. During the gold rush people came here with the notion that they were going to become rich live on a house on the lake and live happily ever after. Like most mining camps and boom towns this community never lived up to its expectations. Miners talked you could not help boasting about gold but the problem was once you did everyone had gotten wind of it. It did not help that their was a crisis in Virginia City or brief dry spell which led to miners looking to prospect elsewhere thus over ten thousand claims were staked here.

In 1866 several pack trains brought in merchandise, provisions, furniture, food, mining equipment and supplies. From what I read daily dozens of mule trains were bringing in supplies even during the winter of that year. Within a few months the population soared to over 4,000 residents as a matter in fact every single day four to five houses were newly built. I did some metal detecting downtown and spent two hours finding old rusty carpenter nails. No matter where I went where the town stood their is allot of glass, nails, rusty pieces of metal and debris in the ground. Downtown was more like a small city today not so much very little remains but you can clearly see the cross roads which was the heart of this mining town. Its easy to close your eyes envisioning a general store, saloon, blacksmith etc downtown as roads off in the distance traverse the forest where the townsfolk lived in small wooden cabins. The mining camp of Excelsior eventually became Summit City a place that was bustling around the clock!

I read a story about how the printing press for the local newspaper was brought into town by 40 Chinese laborers. As most of you are aware their are only two treks to reach the town both are very difficult especially during this time period when such routes were not maintained. The first trek is an old stage coach route which branches off the old Henness Pass. Its quite rugged high up on cliffs which meander above Meadow Lake descending down to the town site. The second route is not as steep which takes you along the old Bowman Lake wagon trail and eventually out to the old California Trail known today as Interstate Highway 80 which became the first transcontinental highway in the country. This trek is not as steep but its definitely deep in the wilderness therefore you were on your own many miles away from any towns. However, they had hotels, resorts and stage stops like the one found at Webber Lake which pioneers could water down there horses at. By the time the Chinese made it close to town with the printing press they were beyond exhaustion. Many of the townsfolk decided to help the Chinese by picking up the machine carrying it through town singing "Marching Through Georgia". People here were happy as they were proud of their town or perhaps due to the fact of how much of a daunting task it would be just to get to the town. You did not have the same anger or anti sentiment towards the Chinese at Meadow Lake as you did other boom towns.

The town was growing daily in merely a short time five lumber yards, ten stores, six stamp mills, ten hotels, five blacksmith shops, four hurdy-gurdy houses, town cemetery, over 100 saloons, local newspaper, school, stock exchange, post office, breweries, excursion ferry and a 9000 square foot plaza. This ghost town rivaled Bodie, Jackson, Dry Town, Amador City, Granite City, Washington, Nevada City, Sierra City, Sierraville, Dutch Flat, North Bloomfield, New Baltimore Town, Virginia City and even Coloma just to name a few semi ghost towns in the region Everyone wanted to purchase lots here because many of the miners felt this would become the little Comstock of California. This was a bustling place all day long you could here machinery, steam engines and even the transcontinental railroad which was ten miles to the south. As a matter in fact the Excelsior Mill had 20 stamps which crushed the local ore and it was the largest milling operation in the area during the towns growth.

As fast as the town was being built to be exact 200 businesses and 500 residential homes that very same year in 1866 people were leaving. Lot prices were dropping, building had stopped and shares went down fast. The entire communities economy was built on gold mining or at least trying to find substantial gold ore. Meadow Lake was Nevada County's ninth township. That same year Mark Twain aka Samuel Langhorne Clemens older brother Orion Clemens lived here for a short time. Just a short time later Mark Twain would travel to Meadow Lake where he found that most of the town had been deserted. Mark Twain stated in the newspaper that "They have built a handsome town and painted it neatly and planned long wide streets and got ready for a busy of business and then jumped aboard the stage coaches and deserted it!" Mark Twain said Meadow Lake was “The wildest exemplar of speculation I have ever stumbled upon. Here you find Washoe recklessness and improvidence repeated.” Gold was discovered here but it was not abundant and veins ran dry quickly therefore the locals had very little to boast about. People could not continue to operate businesses or live in a town that in the end dashed their hopes so they begin to clear out because this was a dying economy and Mark Twain knew it. Many of the local Native Americans from the Washoe tribe came here looking for work and their was allot of drama between them and the locals.

Meadow Lake resided at an elevation of 7,293' thus the town site was in the wilderness without little protection from escaping the harsh winters which lasted for many months. As a matter in fact Meadow Lake is one of the highest lakes found in the Tahoe National Forest. When their was not 10' of snow blasting the town fires destroyed buildings so the town seen allot of mishaps. People were getting frustrated residing here; despite the population in 1866 peaking out at 5000 residents by 1868 only 150 people remained behind. The towns newspaper shut its doors in 1867 a short time after the Twain brothers left perhaps because even they knew life probably would not pan out here. Their was no opportunity not even for a author or editor starving to get the next big story. Can you imagine how scary it would be to live at a place like this isolated cut off from the rest of the world and properties being abandoned on a daily basis? What would it be like to be a child going to school here? One day you go to school finding out your best friends moved because there dad was a unemployed gold miners? I try to think about these things being an producer, author and researcher myself closing my eyes trying to picture what life may have been like for the towns residents.

A year later in 1869 the population dwindled to around seven families with over 300 structures that stood abandoned. I bet if you were an urban explorer living in this time period this would have been a dream come true to explore some of the towns most majestic structures. In 1873 more structures were destroyed in a massive fire and it was so a harsh winter that many of the houses just merely collapsed due to the weight of the snow. Nobody ever moved up here anymore lot prices were soaring to about $800 which back in the day was very expensive and without successful mining operations there was no money to be made. People were living here in poverty in isolation cut off from the rest of the world with downtown being abandoned. More then likely many of the miners and lumberers fled to other mining camps that were more lucrative. While others may have worked for Hobart Mills or journeyed to Independence Lake to lumber the area so other towns could grow some may have decided to stake claims elsewhere or at least wherever the next big gold strike occurred.

Meadow Lake may have not had any residents living up here in the 1880's but what it did still have is the local mine which had a ten stamp mill which used Morris Processing to recover the gold. The mill itself had no plates but rather the pulp was run over a large piece of canvas with strips of wood that fastened lengthwise on it. The heavy material would be removed and put into an amalgamation tub. Recovery of gold from the ore ran at about $6.00 a ton at the time. It was not allot but enough to keep old man Henry Hartley alive till the day he died here. I am not sure Hartley had the manpower to operate a large mill up here. While their were around a half dozen mills that closed down its more then likely the stamps and equipment was hauled off somewhere else. I think old man Henry probably lived a very lonely life here I mean imagine one day you build a home somewhere which leads to you finding your own town. One that Mark Twain visited and yet one day all of it becomes abandoned like your in some Walking Dead movie. Imagine how heartbroken and lonely this man only in the end to meet a tragic end!

Do you know what the real issue was in regards to Meadow Lake? The town just lacked machinery to process the ore as a matter in fact they had difficulty trying to get it out of the granite rocks found high up on these quartz ledges. As a matter in fact the snow was so harsh here that the machinery could not be operated in the winter months. The economy was simply an illusion Orion Clemens was an attorney who invested in the mines he also lost big time here. People were being hopeful that they would reach such ledges filling ore carts with gold and it just never happened. If you lived here you probably also did so in being in love with the regions beauty which as alluring as it was raising a family here I can imagine was difficult. Proof of that is found here just walking on a lonely hill downtown at the towns pioneer cemetery. Just a couple years what was known as Summit City was named after the communities local lake known as Meadow Lake when life began to slow down here. Hartley was a lonely prospector trying to prove to the pioneers of the west that Meadow Lake would be the next big gold strike. It just merely never happened he may have wanted it too but the gold was minimal due to the harsh winter months, lack of machinery and even the labor to mine the quartz cliffs surround the lake things just were not taking off. If their was any news at all here in regards to Meadow Lake you might have read in other newspapers about dancing, literary societies, skiing and mock trials transpiring here from those who may have visited the region. But what you did not read are articles about the towns wealth compared to other boom towns that rivaled Meadow Lake or continued to thrive in the region.

The one thing that the town had that other towns did not is a ferry service mainly used to transport the miners to what was known as Hurdy Gurdy Houses or anotherwards brothels, bordellos or the towns red light district found at the far end of the lake. Today that area is just a few camping sites and even an area that is a boat launch. Meadow Lake was not a place for outlaws as a matter in fact it was not lawless at all but the people who lived here partied pretty hard. They tried to keep the Hurdy Gurdy just outside of town away from the school and local businesses. It seemed to many of the pioneers sipped the Kool-Aide here a bit to much because only $200,000 in gold was mined here during the towns entire existence while other nearby towns such as Nevada City generated millions of dollars from their gold mining operations. While the town may have not thrived in mining the girls up at the Hurdy Gurdy Houses had gotten business all day and saloons kept the town in high spirits.

I kind of stumbled upon Meadow Lake through a friend who told me a little about it its one of those best kept secrets. Only people who are true outdoors lovers, offroaders or campers are really going to journey to such a remote location. I felt blessed to camp right on the lake just a few minutes walk away from where downtown once stood. Its very easy to walk around down the ghost towns platted streets and find areas where houses once stood. The area provides some of the best 4x4 trails in the state of California but it also is a location that holds many secrets such as Hermits, Rest, Historical Remnants and even Petroglyphs which may date back to 1000 A.D. created by the Martis tribe who were early inhabitants of the area. Today all the areas that had homes, businesses or significant sites are now campsites along the lake. I read about how folks expect to see buildings or an entire ghost town but this is not the case. All that really remains are nails, ceramic shards, rusty piping, pieces of wood, bricks, monolithic granite dam, bean cans, town cemetery, mine sites and perhaps a few foundations if you can find them.

Its hard to really believe that what was once a town of over 500 structures during its hey day has been reduced to hardly anything remaining. You would never know its a ghost town but its very easy to gather that the streets here are platted. Their is a hidden mining camp not to far of a hike from the town site that has a grave site, multiple structures and some remnants of the past. During our investigation and research in Meadow Lake I came to the conclusion that the mining camp is extremely haunted not only is it haunted but creepy. This is an area that has a long standing history of Bigfoot like creatures that have been sighted in the Tahoe National Forest. Its actually quite amazing at how many people have heard vocalizations or had sightings up in the Meadow Lake area. Then again this wilderness area is very isolated there are ponds and lakes everywhere which is vital to this creatures survival. In the winter months there is nobody up here in the summer people come to camp, fish and hike.

I kind of want to give our viewers the full experience and why? Because this really was an amazing place yeah the town went from boom to bust in a short time but in its hey day this was a city with kids playing at the school. men drinking in saloons, stage coaches dropping off prominent people at the hotels, bells ringing, people reading the newspaper while opening up there shops in the morning etc etc. Its so hard to believe that its all gone compared to other ghost towns that are even older then this one which still stand today. More so I find it very intriguing that Henry Hartley devoted his life to Meadow Lake and it became his white whale. Despite the fact that ore here was worth $690 dollars a ton there was no way to process it and when it was processed no gold was found. When everyone left the town Hartley went back to living as a hermit on the lake consolidating all the claims into one single holding.

Henry Hartley use to go up to Cisco Grove for supplies on occasion when he met a woman by the name of Alice in 1886 of course you can imagine how creepy it must had been when he took her up here to a town that was in ruins. Alice was a very young woman she also though that Hartley was a wealthy man afterall this was his town. They were married in Sierraville a nice ranching community that supplied crops and livestock to all the local mining camps. For some odd reason Alice did not like living on Meadow Lake therefore she ran away and Hartley did try to win her back only to push her more away. When Hartley returned alone to Meadow Lake Alice had moved up to Virginia City then eventually had gotten herself an apartment in Reno where she was offering art lessons and applied to be an art teacher for the school system.

In 1891 a group of French Investigators visited Meadow Lake offering straight cash for all of Hartley's mining claims then a shirt time later in 1892 some friends had discovered his body. If your curious at all French Lake was probably named after the French investors who first came to the area. While I have read that Hartley died of an opium overdose some feel he was poisoned while his long lost son claimed that the autopsy revealed two substances in Hartley's system which led to his death. This man died in poverty, heartbroken and in isolation he did not deserve this. I believe he fell in love with Meadow Lake whether he struck it rich or not he never wanted to let it go. Strangely as soon as Hartley had died Alice his estranged wife showed up to claim his estate and wealth. What was ironic about all of this is that his mining stocks were worthless and all he left behind was $1500 which Alice used to pay off some of her debts but not all of them. Their were quite a few suspicions that Alice murdered her husband I read that she was ordered to appear in front of a jury where two poisons were found in Hartley's system. Alice of course tried to have her husbands body cremated prior to the trial but instead he ended up being buried on the hill above the town site.

However, this led to another death as Murray D. Foley was president of The Bank Of Nevada and a state senator who was introduced to Alice during a railroad excursion up in Boca California another great ghost town we did research at. The town had a very successful brewery and many ice houses that shipped out the ice to various mining camps. The senator tried to act as a broker for the Meadow Lake property and in 1894 he arrived at Alice's apartment to discuss business where he asked to join her for a late supper. She then refused and Alice claimed that Foley secretly drugged her and ended up in the same bed. Alice stated that she had her apartments locked changed but despite this fact a month later the senator was once again waiting for her inside the apartment where she claims he raped her. The very next day Alice bought a gun threatening to kill the senator if he came to her place once again. March came along as she had only knew the Senator less then three months realizing she was pregnant he asked for an abortion. Alice refused and by May was opting to get a legal document drawn up and paternity established so that she could hold the senator financially responsible. When Foley was visiting Alice in July that same here Alice told the senator she was moving to Utah and of course Foley was not having it. Foley never filed any legal papers or signed any for that matter which led to a huge argument where Foley supposedly grabbed a chair swinging at Alice. Alice fired two shots from her Colt Revolver which packed such a punch that Foley ended up rolling down the stairs dying at the scene.

Alice would die a very lonely and poor woman I believe she was a final victim of her own karma. She had everyone fooled as she was highly educated, attractive and an entertaining woman to be around. Two men ended up dead that had connections to this woman the first being Henry Hartley whom she was suspected of foul play she was never charged therefore this led to the death of another man. In both scenarios she was seeking money and both times she had really never gotten any. After the death of senator Foley his very own wife left with her husbands estate worth at the time $250,000. Alice Hartley was charged with murder and her trial lasted several days. The prosecution tried to portray her a very interesting yet dangerous woman and at the time being that she was pregnant they certainly did not lessen the charges of second degree murder and 11 years in Nevada State Prison as soon as the baby was born. Only two months later Alice would give birth to a baby boy however after 18 months of good behavior would allow her to walk. The baby was born in prison and ended up dying seven weeks later of Scarlet Fever. Alice herself died December 28th 1907 and of course in poverty. Keep in mind folks that she was living a very lavish lifestyle something Henry Hartley could not provide and in the end she lost it all. Strangely over 60 prominent Nevadans signed a petition that Alice was ordered to confinement not imprisonment that she should have gotten a gold medal for stopping senator Foley who was thought to be a womanizer. Alice Hartley is the only individual to ever kill a Nevadan Senator. More then likely she may have also been the last thing that old man Henry set eyes on.

Whatever happened after the death of Hartley after his estranged wife Alice was thrown in Nevada State Prison? When Alice had obtained the mine she would end up selling it before her death its obvious she had hopes to capitalize off her deceased husband the problem was she knew very little about mining therefore Excelsiors Mining would taper off. Believe it or not the company that took over after Hartley operated the Excelsior Mine up until 1905 after purchasing the claim from Alice Hartley. By that time ore recovered was worth about $10.14 per ton and 266 tons of ore was taken out. Back when Hartley was alive he was only getting around $6 per ton so in a matter of a decade the worth of ore had gone up. The mine had actually closed that same year and once again was put into operation in 1915. Four claims made up the Excelsior mine and a new boarding house was erected for the miners, processing mill and pipeline built. By December of 1915 three more stamps were added and a new mill was being constructed however in 1918 all operations came to a halt.

The mine had its fair share of incidents a few fires prior to 1915 so there was very little records despite that factor more prospecting was done here again in the 1920's and 1930's but no less made things a bit more difficult. No matter the shot in the dark the mining district eventually became abandoned entirely to a degree that no prospecting was done and nobody lived up here let alone resided in the boarding house. The real issue was trying to extract gold from the abundant auriferous sulfides but the ore was to resistant to the amalgamation process. Other methods were far to expensive and even if the ore was to be shipped off to smelters it was still to low of grade. The miners became frustrated they could see the gold but imagine not being able to extract it. Back in the 1860's the ore was processed by using arastras and simple quartz milling which worked. But new mining methods came to be and honestly they simply proved inadequate for the type of ore being extracted here. Most of the tunnels and shaft were no more then a 100' in length the mines here were not major tunnel systems compared to other more complex mines found in other nearby mining towns. Despite several attempts to revitalize the area it just never transpired I am sure that many structures remained standing into the 1900's but over the years campers have used the wood from the cabins to build campfires thus destroying history in the process.

As a researcher I try to dig deep perhaps because a true paranormal investigation is also known the back story to the history of a location which might indicate as to why a certain place is haunted. Supposedly Henry H. Hartley had a long lost son who claimed that his father had been murdered and that some of the property up at Meadow Lake belonged to him. As a matter in fact the long lost son known as E. T. Heath of Jackson California stated that Hartley's real name was L. T. Heath and that the jury should order an investigation into his death. Despite suspecting Alice of poisoning Henry; Hartley's son had thought that maybe they could question certain witnesses such as John Clark who was a miner owner up at Meadow Lake. As supposedly Alice had been up at England at the time the death occurred supposedly however she appeared a short time after the murder seeking an inheritance and wanting his body disinterred which seemed rather suspicious. While I do not think Alice directly poisoned Hartley I do believe she had a way with certain men and may have asked someone up at Meadow Lake to do it for her. Although Hartley's death was ruled an overdose none of it added up. This hermit lived here for over 30 years then one day he overdoses randomly? This was a man that was rugged knew how to survive all year long up here ALONE for that matter. Whether Hartley had a long lost son at the time this seemed to be the only individual who took the time to care and uncover a bigger plot. Therefore I posted the article below about the long lost hunt for a missing father and another mans secret that very few friends of his ever knew.

I am not sure we will ever have all the answers surrounding Meadow Lake. The area is ancient the Martis Tribe fished, hunted and lived along this lake for many centuries. It also seems to be a focal point for bigfoot sightings as the Tahoe National Forest is quite vast but its also full of many bodies of water which can sustain a creature such as this. I have read a few reports about hikers seeing a large bipedal creature in the area that lets out terrifying screams. I cant say these stories are true or not but from what I learned over the years that when it comes to the Tahoe National Forest many things can hide or remain undiscovered for many years. If that is not terrifying enough the most haunted locations in my opinion is the town cemetery in the forest on a hill which is extremely scattered and the old Sunnyside Acres Mining Camp which is a place that you always feel watched at its just downright scary. Where mining equipment was brought in through Emigrant Cap many people continue to find large tracks left behind by something that is not an animal nor a man. When you take into account of all the great bigfoot research we have done in the region why wouldn't there also bigfoot like creatures who may hide in the bush back care or old miner ghost that haunt this once booming city. Not to mention that more then likely it was not Hartley's time to go perhaps if we lived he may have changed the outcome of what happened to Meadow Lake. Perhaps he would have continued to operate the Excelsior Mine and once again the town may have come to life. But when Hartley died he took the town and all his secrets with him which may have included some encounters with Bigfoot. I mean think about it this man lived as a hermit here for over 30 years mostly alone for months at a time never seeing any humans. Imagine the things he experienced and seen but no matter what he chose to live here and he also died here!
