BUTCH FLAT, California (Alt., 3,399 ft.) was settled in 1853
by German Miners, Joseph Doranbach and his companions.
It was a Dutch Flat man who pointed out the Donner Pass
to the Rail Road, and Dutch Flat subscribed generously for
he Central Pacific. Dutch Flat lost its importance in the fall
of 1864 when the railroad stretched past Cisco; but the
pectacular hyd raulic operations for a decade, when one
company worked 32 claims at once, kept millions of dollars
in gold passing over the counters . . . M.P.
