Why this spot
1908-1915 Mojave gold rush camp
Gold camp in the Castle Mountains billed as the second Goldfield, which reached 1,500 people by summer 1908 with hotels, eight saloons, a newspaper and a miners' union. The ore pockets were small, mining fell off from 1909, a fire burned the business district and the post office closed in 1915.View source →
