Why this spot
1890-1918 high-elevation gold mine camp
Mining camp below the Globe Mine, one of the highest in the state at about 7,000 feet, which ran a 20-stamp mill and a two-mile aerial tramway from 1890 to 1918 with about a hundred men in 1912. The Chloride-Bailey mine and Dibble's Saloon operated in 1903, and the post office lasted until 1941.View source →
