Rhodes Spring Cabin

In 1886, Albert G. Rhodes and his partner discovered a promising silver deposit in the hills behind the spring that would come to bear his name. They extracted and transported 1,200 pounds of ore, worth approximately $800, before meeting a tragic fate on a return trip to the mine. Rhodes, along with a group of investors, vanished into the vast Mojave Desert somewhere between Daggett and the mine, never to be heard from again. The mystery deepened when Rhodes' cousin, who set out to relocate the lost mine in 1894, also disappeared without a trace.
