W. J. Tilly is now a member of the firm of Wellman, Peck, & Co. , San Francisco. Ripley C. Kelley is mining on Poorman's creek. John W. Thompson built a log cabin in November, 1850, at Nelson Point, and opened a trading post. In the spring he put up a good canvas store. In 1851-2-3 there were stores and boarding- houses at Henpeck flat, Meeker flat, Independence bar, and at one or two other points on Nelson, Hopkins, and Poorman's creeks. Nelson Point became quite a town, having two stores, one... hotel, two saloons, one boarding-house, and a number of cabins. It was a very central point, and a great many miners procured their supplies there. A post-office was established there a number of years after, which is now kept at the bridge crossing the river. When the wagon road was built in 1867, the place ceased to be a business point, and the store was discontinued. Near the bridge, a mile and one- half up the rivei-, a store is still being kept. The most important mining points along Nelson creek were : Graveyard flat, Fiddler's flat, Buckeye bar, Henpeck flat, Grizzly flat, Scotch flat, Meeker flat, Independence bar, Dixon creek, Union creek, Poorman's creek, and Hopkins creek.
