[There is an interesting newspaper article in the 27 August 1896 Daily Nevada State Journal which described a transcontinental horseback relay contest carrying a message from California to New York. In that article, a Machomich is mentioned.]
"INCIDENTS,
Charlie Hamp rode from Truckee (Nevada County, CA near Boca) to Verdi (just inside the Nevada State boundry) with Machomich, who has been puffed as the crackerjack mountain rider. Both rode well and did good work over a rough road. Charlie says that Machomich can beat him sprinting, but he can ride away from him and he demonstrated this by reaching Verdi six minutes ahead of him, Had Charlie been carrying the packet he could have turned it over to Lake, and the latter would have nearly reached Laughton's by the time Machomich reached Verdi.
[I believe the Machomich mentioned in this article is either James D. Machomich (age 23) or his brother, Alden Machomich (age 22). They were living in Boca at that time and Boca is only a few miles from Truckee]
