John's Camp and the Boulder Cabin

In 1929, the Gold Hill Mine, comprised of five claims about a mile west of the Pinto Wye Arrastra in Joshua Tree National Park, was owned by C.H. Wiser and Anvil B. Johns of Rialto, California, and J.A. Johns of San Bernardino. To support their mining endeavors, they established John's Camp nearby. While the Gold Hill Mine's production records remain elusive, the camp's remains suggest a modest operation that persisted for some time in this unforgiving terrain.
