Why this spot
1869-1870s silver camp with small revivals
Silver, lead and copper camp founded in 1869 that reached almost 450 residents in the early 1870s and peaked at $701,000 of production in 1871 from its 15-stamp mill. The mill company failed in 1872 and output stayed small after that; the last post office closed in 1914.View source →
