WILLIAM ELWELL.—This gentleman is a son of Joseph M. and Susan Elwell, and was
born in the city of Philadelphia January 28, 1821. When about 22 years of age he
removed to Louisiana, and in May, 1850, to California; and has been engaged in
mining ever since. For a number of years he was superintendent of the 76 mine,
now the Plumas. He, in company with J. W. Hill, owns the Squirrel creek
gravel-mines. He is one of about sixteen veterans of the Mexican war
now-residing in Plumas county. Mr. Elwell is a member of Hope Masonic Lodge No.
