rOn the question about the tin can marked BISHOP, perhaps this refers to one of
the products of Bishop and Co. or Bishop's, as listed in Toulouse 1972:86. I
have encountered Bishop's catsup, in a glass bottle, at the Lordsburg Hotel
site which dates 1891-1913 (city of La Verne, Co. Cal). Bishop & co.
apparently was a "general food manufacturer" who made crackers, biscuits, Jams,
jellies, chocolate, candies and syrups---and catsup. I wonder if this could
have been one of Samuel A. Bishop's enterprises, a pioneer freighter and
partner of Beale's at Tejon Ranch circa 1859 and the man for whom the town of
Bishop is named.
