Why this spot
1878-1936 gold mine and stamp-mill camp
Mining town near the Cochrane Mine, where the Alta Lodi company built a 40-stamp mill in 1880 linked by tramway; about 200 people lived there at its height. The mill shut in 1884 and later small operations ran until 1936. It never had a post office or saloon.View source →
