The record — long form
Bohemia City is the twice — the '1863' that's the first's born, the '1891' that's the second's rise. The 'drank found' is the told — the 'stream sparkled' that's the Musick's find, the 'stone's throw' that's the old camp's near. The 'electric railroad' is the rare — the 'narrow gauge' that's the ore's haul, the 'Champion' that's the mill's spot.
The 'only shows' is the claimed — the 'Sacramento to Canada' that's the span's boast, the 'process whole' that's the demo's kind. The 'Mining Days' is the kept — the 'annual' that's the festival's run, the 'prospectors club' that's the restore's hand. Bohemia is the staged — the 'stagehouse store' that's the left's count, the 'seven acres' that's the camp's size.
The file keeps Bohemia: the twice-risen camp, the stream's gold, the electric haul, and the only demo.
Bohemia City is the archive's Oregon file — the gold camp that died and rose beside itself.
