The Historical Mining Towns of the Eastern Mojave DesertBy Alan HensherIn 1869, a prospecting expedition discovered copper and silver veins
in the Clark Mountains. A supply center, named Ivanpah, arose at Ivanpah
Spring, several miles from the silver deposits; the two main properties
became the Beatrice and Lizzie Bullock. Mills were built at Ivanpah in
the mid-1870s. The district reached its peak about 1879 and then
declined rapidly during the early 1880s. |
