Why this spot
1888-1910 gold camp, 1931-1938 revival
A gold camp in Mill Canyon that boomed after Peter Kimberly bought the Annie Laurie mines in 1899, with two hotels, three saloons and two newspapers at its 1901-1908 peak. Only 8 people remained in 1910; a 1931 revival ended when the ore ran out in 1938.View source →
