How volunteers would put out fires in the late 1800's in a California mining town, by filling buckets with water and dousing the flames.
Around the Croydon Region many gold field were laid claim to. The Golden Gate; the largest, was taken up by Joseph Hardy and James Fulton on 12th April 1886, it held a twenty-five acre lease, and its share capital was £100,000 in 400,000 five shilling shares, and in its first seven years of operation up to 1898 had crushed 9,215 tons of stone for 35,899 ounces of gold. It had paid during this period £40,000 in dividends. This field in 1892 had a population of 1,400 and it was five miles distant from Croydon, with ten hotels and four stores.
Some of the colourful names of other fields are:- Croydon King, Mountain Maid, Homeward Bound, Twelve Mile, Table Top, Golden Valley, Caledonia, Highland Mary, Lady Mary, Iguana, just to name a few.
The boom year was 1887, when the population rose
to 6,500, it settled down to figures fluctuating between 3,000 and 4,000 in subsequent years until the decline set in. In the beginning building was carried out rapidly. The most successful material for building was galvanised iron, because it was generally light and easy to transport, and a sheet of iron was placed in position more quickly than a number of boards. Another factor was that it was safe from white ants which are a pest everywhere in the Gulf country. Houses, banks, hotels, schools and other public buildings were constructed of galvanised iron, and the architecture presented a dull picture to the visitor. The buildings could be cold in winter, and they were veritable ovens in the summer time, which lasted ten months of the year.

Deciding they might catch the minnows with a bucket.
(Which they did not. And I don't really know what they planned to do with them if they were successful.)

Pick your poison. Pick your desired liquor, pick your desired non-alcoholic drink, and they both go in a bucket with ice and lots of straws. Woohoo!
The Nandina shrubs have been getting out of hand lately. Don't need a whole bunch of littluns coming up.
Factoid, in Q&A form:
Our 100-pound mixed-breed dog eats Nandina berries. Are these poisonous?
- Jim N.
Jim, Nandina domestica does have toxic potential, as the berries and leaves contain cyanogenic glycosides. Depending on the circumstances of exposure, this can cause vomiting, diarrhea, a lack of oxygen in the blood, decreased heart rate, respiratory congestion, seizures and coma. If large enough amounts are ingested, this could ultimately lead to respiratory failure and death. While most problematic ingestions involve large animals who graze on substantial quantities of the plant, we would still recommend not allowing your dog to chew on Nandina berries or leaves.
