Whole page on Bayside- by Amos R. Tinkey. 4 photos - one of a log dump into Gannon Slough; 3 of the rock quarries on Jacoby Crock, one of the Johnson & Sons shingle mill on the north bank of Jacoby Creek. Carson interests began logging on the north side of the creek first ( in the early 1880's) working up the gulches with OX teams. They also logged on the South side. They had a little railroad that run down the creek, then it turned toward Brainard. The logs were hould to the slough that runs past the old Eureka garbage. The railroad ended there, beside the slough with a log dump. At high tide the logs were towed to Carson's mill on the Eureka waterfront. Flannigan and Brosnin had a standard gauge railroad that ran up the north side of Jacoby Creek. The west end of this railroad ended at a log dump on Gannon Slough (see photo) and a wharf know as Flannigan's wharf. This wharf ran about a mile out into Humboldt Bay. Part of the trestle is still visible today (1951). Their headquarters, railroad engine shop, store, shingle mill and some cabins were located at the Old Arcata road & Jacoby Creek Road junction. Their mill was at Eureka near the present (1951) Hammond plant #2. The rock quarries generated an income equal to or greater than the timber. In the early 1890's, rock from these quarries was used to build the jetties. The 1st quarry was operated by Simpson & Brown & they hauled the rock on the Flannigan railroad down to the wharf. The rock cars were then driven onto a barge which was towed to the south jetty. There quarries ran, off & on, over the years. The Hammond Engineering Company got the big contract for jetty construction & shortly after 1900, took over the quarry work. They opened a large quarry 2 to 3 miles further up beyond the original one. Up to 150 men worked at the quarry. Wages = $1/day & included meals at the cook house.
