Why this spot

1906-1918 gold rush camp

Gold camp in Seven Troughs Canyon founded in 1906, which by 1907 had a post office, hotel, saloons, stores and 350 people, and added a water system and school in 1908. The Kindergarten mine and mill kept it going, the district producing $2 million in gold from 1908 to 1918, after which only a few transient miners stayed.View source →
