Eureka Gold Mine

The Eureka Mine was worked by a Basque immigrant named Pete Aguereberry from 1907 to 1930. The mine produced ore assaying at $500 to the ton. The photo shows the hillside near the mine with the ruins of an old stone structure at the base of the hill, the remains of the ore crusher on the side of the hill, and various debris from the mining operation scattered around. The abandoned camp or town, named Harrisburg, is on the other side of the hill.
