Randsburg, Ca.

Bird's Eye View



Photos of Randsburg from this period are really hard to find. Randsburg has settle down to a regular mining town with several large mines operating with payroll and many small independent producers still taking gold out of the Stringer District. Shown here is almost the entire town of Randsburg. The school house is shown in this photo. Louis Stoll's saloon is shown as a wood structure. After the June, 1903 fire which destroyed a large portion of the business district on west Butte Avenue, Louis's place was replaced by a rock and adobe structure which still exists today as the Whitehouse Saloon. The Yellow Astor Mine is seen in the background with both the 30 stamp and 100 stamp mill. In the foreground are the J.I.C. Mine, the Wedge Mine, the Kinyon Mine, and the Little Butte, all of which had been big producers of high grade ore.
