This rare interior photo of the Silver Creek Joss House shows cakes and pies given to the Chinese by local housewives for Chinese New Year, 1896.  There are papers pasted to the beams, which are good luck banners.  Today, the clock on the wall in the background hangs in the Plumas County Museum in Quincy. From Plumas County: History of the Feather River Region, by Jim Young.
