Why this spot
1866-1890s gold camp, later revivals
Gold camp at the Wheeler Mine that peaked at about 600 people in the early 1870s, spread over a mile in five sections with five saloons, three hotels, a dance hall, a school and two stamp mills. Production faded after the 1893 depression, mining ceased by 1918 and the last residents left by the 1930s.View source →
