12th CENSUS 1900

BUTTE COUNTY

OPHIR TOWNSHIP

CHINESE

This information was taken from the microfilm on file at the Meriam Library, California State University Chico.  Some of the names and occupations in this listing were difficult to decipher.  A question mark has been placed where the information was unclear.

The 1890 census was largely destroyed in a warehouse fire in Washington, D.C. in 1921. The 1880 census was taken before the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882) and is helpful in discovering who the  Chinese people were in Oroville. The more brutal Geary Act (1892) extended the Exclusion Act by 10 years. The 1890 census would have been very valuable considering the brutal effects of mockery, hate and exclusion. 

Sources relating of the effects of these “gate keeping” laws and exclusion acts have come from many other primary records especially tax and court records. Much needs to be accomplished in discovering these faceless nameless people who came to the gold rush.

 The China men who came first from Canton,  a heavily populated and very poor district in the southwestern area near what is now Macau and Hong Kong.

As early trade was restricted to Canton (now Guangzhou) the British East India company began to smuggle opium into China. British goods did not have enough trade value in China to make it above the bottom line. Called black smoke or foreign mud, by the Chinese, the Emperor decided to put a stop to it. After forcing addicts to quit, he also forced English traders to stop the smuggling. The British then began the first Opium War (1839 to 1842) by raiding the South China sea port on the Yellow River. This war and the next  caused famine and violent death in China. Some historians report that over 20 million people died. Poverty stricken families, millions in number, allowed or wanted the younger men to provide for in-laws and other kin. These younger men caught the news of the gold rush in America’s new west facing coast. Hundreds then thousands came to the new port of Yerba Buena by the middle of the 1850s (now San Francisco). The Europeans and the new Americans paid little attention in the beginning. As gold became more difficult to mine, the Chinese were often accosted and driven from gold bearing rocks and gold dust bars deposited by rivers. The Feather River was one of the richest in this “new” part of America. Hate and envy slowly settled in in  white evolving ideas that led to restriction and exclusion laws. 

Chinese were not counted in the 1850 census. We are not sure why. The state  of California did their own census in 1852 counting the Chinese immigrants. Federal census counting of Chinese miners and others began in 1860 (those results are published elsewhere in this study). Guesses as to the numbers of immigrants from China very widely. This census (1900) is the fourth such counting of Chinese in Oroville (and some surrounding areas).  We chose to investigate only the Ophir township.
