Jamestown ~ Founded by Colonel George James, a San Francisco lawyer, this town was destroyed recently in 1966, but there's still much to see. A goldmine runs directly below the Willow Hotel, which once hosted many dignitaries, including President William McKinley in 1901. The true charm of the mining towns comes through loud and clear here, with Jamestown's covered-balcony architecture that is so typical of the Gold Rush era. A number of 1850's brick, stone, and adobe structures still stand.

ur on the right track! u found the place!

what is the deal w/them being called tommyknockers??

"Cornish miners from Cornwall, England were some of the best mining men in the business, they simply had years of experience at tunneling and mining that the 49er’s lacked. In the diggings they represented as close to a mining engineer as one could find. Their sudden success in the mines encouraged mine owners to ask if they knew of anyone else back home with mining experience who’d be interested in coming to work in the California mines. The common answer among the Cornish was… “Well, me cousin Jack over in Cornwall wouldst come could ye pay is boat ride.” So many Cornish miners made their way to California this way, that it wasn’t long before the Americans had taken to calling em’ all… “Cousin Jacks.”

The Cornish miners were highly respected and sought after making them the authority in many Northern California mines. As they educated many on mining they also inadvertently introduced the Tommyknockers to California. The Tommyknockers were part of Cornish legend and lore
which still survives today in our own mining culture and history.

According to legend the Tommyknockers were the underground cousins of the Piskies and Vogs
which lived in the English moors. They were well known for mischief, colorful pranks, jokes, and being highly spirited! They are tiny characters who dress like little miners and perform many mining duties while underground working alongside the other men. To the cousin Jacks the Tommyknockers were no less important then a candle and double jack. They believed in the Tommyknockers although not one of em’ could say they’d actually seen one.

Regardless the cousin Jacks refused to enter any mine until the mining company assured them the
Tommyknockers were on duty. In time mine owners gave way to the custom as simply a matter of doing business with the Cornish. Over the years the Tommyknockers were blamed for many a prank, while being credited with saving the lives of many miners. If someone’s hammer was missing it was the Tommyknockers… If a cousin Jack got out just before the tunnel failed, you can bet it was the Tommyknockers who raised hell, got him out and saved his life.

In 1956 California’s mining industry came to a grinding halt. Devote believers (mostly Cornish descendants) lobbied the general manager of one of California’s largest and oldest mines, to release the Tommyknockers from employment in order so they could be transferred to other working mines in the California Mother Lode. The mining company agree."

you know, what's cool is that new movie "white noise", one of the messages from the other side sent as an "evp" said " willow street or avenue". it was a topic for a good section of the movie. it's a pretty good movie and good special features too.
