Why this spot
1906-1919 second silver rush camp
Camp founded in 1906 by prospectors from Fairview, with a newspaper, stage lines, hotels and saloons and, from 1913, the big Nevada Wonder Mining Company mill. The veins played out by 1919, the post office closed in 1920 and many buildings were hauled off to other camps.View source →
