Why this spot
1860s silver camp, 1940-1957 tungsten town
Silver camp of about fifty miners around 1870 that hauled water by mule from springs 12 miles away and was abandoned in 1871. It came back as a tungsten town from 1940, and from 1950 to 1956 the Lincoln mine, a leading national tungsten producer, supported 700 people and a school until prices fell in 1957.View source →
