Site of rich mines (once also known as Gold Mountain, naturally) for a very few years each side of 1900. Ore processing was by the cyanide method. Ivy Baker Priest, United States Treasurer during the Eisenhower administration, was born there. Families lived there, but the town was really a wild, hard-drinking and harder-brawling kind of place.
