Why this spot
1906-1912 silver boomtown
Silver camp that boomed in 1906 to 1907 to about 2,000 people with hotels, banks, 27 saloons, a newspaper and a union hall, moving twice to be nearer the mines and find room. Interest fell after 1908, the town was abandoned after 1912 and the post office closed in 1919.View source →
