SHINGLE SPRINGS, EL DORADO COUNTY. 



Tlie following rainfall tables were compiled by Sergeant ]]arwick 

 from data furnished him by Mrs. J. Carney, of Carson City, Nevada. 

 The observations of rainfall were taken by her father, Doctor J. R. 

 Edwards, an old pioneer citizen of Sacramento County; 1849 and 

 1850 were taken at Mormon Island, Sacramento County; the remain- 

 ing years the rainfall was taken about two miles from Shingle Springs, 

 El Dorado County, and cover a period of eighteen years for that point; 

 and two years at Mormon Island. This gives El Dorado County a 

 good rainfall record. This table, from 1850 to 1868, and Samuel 

 Hale's, of Placerville, from 1874 to 1884, makes nearly twenty-eight 

 years of rainfall records for that county:
