Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.
Silver-lead camp on the east flank of the Wassuk Range above Hawthorne, born from a 1906 road-crew ore discovery and rushed in 1909. Population briefly near 800; a power plant avalanche, chronic mine water, and later flotation-mill work left mill foundations, a vault, and scattered ruins along Lucky Boy Pass Road.
