This mine was discovered in the early 1870s and was worked first by Mexicans. In 1909, the Clair family bought the claims and worked for a long time after.
The mill has been heavily vandalized over the years. It doesn’t look like this anymore, as many of the artifacts have been removed. It is still worth a stop, though. My photos are from visits in 2006 and 2009.
