A town due to placer gold, and like so many others, didn't last long. About 2 years, in fact, is all. From 1860 to 1862, this small camp served placer miners and had a few merchants, a few miners, and a ferry. When the La Paz gold struck, every one left. Today the site is submerged under Mittry Lake.
