Why this spot
1900-1921 silver and copper company town
A company town built by Samuel Newhouse after he bought the Cactus Mine in 1900, with an opera house, hospital, library, hotel and over seventy company houses; the only saloon was kept a mile out of town. The mine was worked out by 1910, a tailings mill ran from 1915 to 1919, and the last cafe burned in 1921.View source →
