I am also doing some research on meadow lake, the only good thing that I have found is a book by Paul Fatout, called Meadow Lake Mining District. Do you have any material to pass on?

The following may be related to Meadow Lake:
Houseworth 1274: Meadow Lake, Summit City, 6,800 feet elevation. Central Pacific Railroad.
Houseworth 1275: Kidd's Dam, Meadow Lake, Summit City—Central Pacific Railroad.
Houseworth 1276: Old Man Mountain near Meadow Lake. Altitude 7,800 feet—Central Pacific Railroad.

A. A. Hart 179. Old Man Mountain, Altitude 7500
Unknown view which Daniel Hart, University of Nevada, Reno (see his note) speculates is the town of Meadow Lake [also possibly Truckee according to Mead Kibbey; Dana Scanlon does not believe that it is Meadow Lake]

[Above] is a ... scan of the Houseworth CPRR #1288. You do not appear to have this one, so I am forwarding a scan of the one I recently acquired.

Dana Scanlon has devoted a great deal of energy and time, as well as treasure, gathering photos of Meadow Lake. You would be well served to chat with him. g j graves
