A view from 1939:
EUREKA, (2,571 alt.,
860 pop.), is slowly climbing up a hillside above its first
buildings on the banks of Tobacco River. After its large
sawmill burned in 1923, the town developed a Christmas market
for evergreens; sixty-eight carloads of small firs were shipped
to eastern markets in 1935. Huckleberries grow in abundance
on the mountain sides.
