	MATTHEW BADER is a Prussian by birth, and was born July 25, 1830.  
He tilled the soil till 1852, when he followed the tide of emigration westward, 
crossing the Atlantic and coming direct to Butte county.  He mined a short time 
at Enterprise, and also at Centerville.  In 1853, he settled at Dogtown, where 
he has since resided.  He engaged in merchandising for a number of years, and 
has always done a great deal of mining.  For the last six years he has farmed 
and mined in that locality.
