Pit River Indians of Pall Siver tribe
(Ajumahwe) tell me that a short Creek only
about half a mile in length enters Pit River
from the south a mile or mile and a half
east of Bumey Creek. It is in Section 1,
Township 36 North, Range 3 E._it was early"

called Salmon Creek because of the vast

number of salmon that came there to spawn.
Up to about 1860 there was a large -

over)

Indian village of the Ilmahwe tribe at the
mouth of Salmon Creek. The place is now
under water of the Resevoir called take Brit
tan. The re of this village was Mah-pel
dahzdS. It^. last chief is said to have
been named Riley O'Neill. The name of the

Creek has been changed from Salmon Creek to
