Wildrose Charcoal Kilns
In 1877 George Hearst’s Modock Consolidated Mining Company completed construction of the charcoal kilns in
Wildrose Canyon. The charcoal produced by the kilns was to be used as fuel for two silver-lead smelters that
Hearst had built in the Argus Range 25 miles to the west. The kilns operated until the summer of 1878 when
the Argus mines, due to deteriorating ore quality, closed and the furnaces shut down.
