Treasure Hill and the ridge ruins above Hamilton hold mill foundations, stone walls, and diggings from White Pine’s 1868–70s silver boom—distinct from the main Hamilton townsite pin already in the atlas. High, cold, and windy; 4WD recommended. Open shafts and unstable masonry are common—view from outside, never enter portals.
