Why this spot
1876-1950s gold and tin mining town
Gold camp of 1876 that turned to tin after 1884 and became a company town by 1904, with a bank, mill, hotel, company store, newspaper and miners' houses. Production faded from the 1910s and the town was abandoned after the mill burned in the 1950s.View source →
