Years afterwards R. V. Newsham, who, after leaving the service in the famous Cali- fornia column, became post-trader at Fort Cum- mings, had a store at the crossing, but having no customers, he moved up to Silver City with his goods, the remnant of a large stock. The place was for a long time unoccupied on account of its supposed insalubrity, and was finally taken up by old man Porter and others.
