    JOHN BARRETT was born in Lemoil county, Vt., September 19, 1825. When 19
years old he began work in a grist-mill at Worcester, Massachusetts, where he
remained five years. Leaving Worcester, he followed farming in Vermont till
1854, when he came to California, and settled in Butte county. Mr. Barrett has
mined almost continuously here ever since. He commenced work on the Birch and
Barrett claim, now called the Magalia, in the fall of 1856. In that year he was
one to start the first tunnel which was run under Table mountain. Mr. Barrett
was married in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1848, to Miss Catherine Flanigan,
who died in 1854, leaving one child. He was again united in marriage in 1858, at
