Hawthorne

Inscription. Present Mineral Co. Seat — Former Esmeralda Co. Seat

Townsite selected in 1880 by H. M. Yerington, president of the Carson and Colorado Railroad Co. as a division and distribution site for the new railroad.

The location was adjacent to the important Knapp’s Station and Ferry Landing on the busy Esmeralda Toll Road from Wadsworth to Candelaria
Radiating roads ran to all of the surrounding mining areas.

Yerington named the new town Hawthorne after a lumberman friend in Carson City and on April 14, 1881, the first train arrived, loaded with prospective buyers for the new town lots.

In 1883, Hawthorne took the Esmeralda County seat from declining Aurora but later lost it to booming Goldfield. In 1911, it again became a county seat, this time for the new Mineral County.

In 1926, a destructive munitions explosion in the east caused the military to select Hawthorne for a new site. In 1928, Governor Balzar, former citizen of Hawthorne, turned the first shovel of dirt and dedicated the new depot which officially opened in 1930.

Hawthorne is a central point for desert travelers and for the vacation activity on nearby Walker Lake.

Old Roundhouse and Railroad Station

Virginia City, Nevada, 6/28/1969. Plaque was located in Virginia City. Present Location unknown.

Mound House

“Mound House was located one-half mile north of this point. Originally constructed in 1871 as a station and siding on the Virginia and Truckee Railroad, it served for some time simply as a wood and water stop. In 1877, a post office was established. Mound House came into its own in 1880, when the V. & T. began construction of a narrow gauge railroad from here to the mining camps of western Nevada and the Owens Valley Region of California. Named the Carson & Colorado. It turned Mound House into a booming shipping point.

“The Southern Pacific Railroad purchased the C. & C. from the V. & T. in 1900. Just prior to the Tonopah silver strike, in 1905, the V. & T. built a short line from the new station at Hazen, on the main line, to intersect the C. & C. at Fort Churchill. The Hazen cutoff took most of the booming Tonopah-Gold Field business away from the V. & T.

“During the period 1900 – 1920, extensive gypsum mining and milling operations, to produce plaster, were carried on immediately northwest of Mound House.

“The narrow gauge line was abandoned from Mound House to Churchill in 1934, and the V. & T. track from Carson City to Virginia City in 1939. Within a few years, Mound House had disappeared. Nevada Historical Marker No. 61”

Location: Virginia City, inside Town Hall. 1969.

Sutro

“Sutro was a town, a tunnel and a mine. The orderly town was the headquarters for the Sutro drainage tunnel. Adolph Sutro, daGerman born, came to the Comstock in 1860. He advocated a drainage tunnel, visualizing development of the Comstock resource by a system long used to drain and explore mineral deposits. By 1865, his vision gained approval of state and federal legislation. However, the mining interests having at first supported the tunnel became strongly opposed.

“When construction began in 1869, it was first funded by the mine workers, since the tunnel would improve mine safety. Later the funding came from international bankers. The main tunnel broke through in 1878 lateral tunnels were extended and the project drained, ventilated and serviced the Comstock as planned. When the tunnel was completed Adolph Sutro sold his in the tunnel company and returned to San Francisco.”

It gained back popularity to some extent due to the discovery of ore bodies in the Jumbo District in the 1880’s. After Jumbo’s decline in 1900, it reverted back to its present condition.

Ships of the Nevada Desert

Inscription. Camels first arrived in Virginia City in April, 1964. The U.S. Camel Corps was disbanded in 1863, and the animals sold to Nevada traders. Camels were used for hauling freight, firewood, and marsh salt use in refining silver ore. Although one camel could replace three mules, they frightened horses, women and caused runaways, stampedes, and general chaos. Cheaper freighters and public sentiment against the camels caused their decline. They were turned out on the desert in the 1870’s and 80’s; the last was seen in 1912.

Star City

“Located near the top of 9,835-foot Star Peak, the Star Mining District (some seven miles west of here) was opened in 1861 with the discovery of rich ore in the Sheba mine. Star City developed almost overnight and quickly grew to become the largest community in the area. 1,200 persons were residents here in 1864 when the town boasted of two hotels, three general stores, a Wells Fargo office, a Sunday school, and countless saloons.

“1864-65 were the biggest years for Star City with seven large mining companies in operation, but by 1868 the rich ore ran out and the town declined rapidly. The Sheba mine had produced over $5,000,000 in silver but by 1871 only 78 inhabitants remained and by 1871 Star City was a ghost town.

Lake Tahoe Outlet Works
and Gatekeepers Cabin

Inscription. The first outlet works were constructed in 1870 by Colonel A.W. Von Schmidt. The stone and timber crib structure soon passed to the Donner Lumber & Boom Co. who continued to regulate, for a fee, the water flow for floatation of logs and, later, power generation. The timber and power helped to shore up the wealth of the Comstock Lode. By 1913, the U.S. Reclamation Service completed the present structure to serve the Newlands Irrigation Project. Contractual flow regulations demanded tending of the gates for which a cabin was built in 1910 to house the gatekeeper. The cabin served until 1968, was destroyed by fire in 1978 and the present cabin was completed in 1981.

“Brunswick Ledge”
Monte Cristo Lode / Occidental Lode
Silver Star Mining District

A separate but similar parallel ore body, 1 ¼ miles east of the Comstock Lode and 2 ¼ miles long, located 1863 by crew of the Occidental Mine at the south end and later by the Monte Cristo Mine on north. In 1872 Sutro Tunnel crews cut a 100 ft. wide ledge 1361 feet under the St. John property and named the rich vein “Brunswick”, possibly to honor the exquisite saloon back bars and billiard tables of that era.

Several major Comstock mines extended to the ledge in 1895. Peak production years were 1896-1914 with two million dollars of ore removed.

The Union Brewery

“Beer was not forgotten, and six breweries could scarcely supply the people with beer, for Virginia City has a dry climate.

“Originally located at 40 North C Street and destroyed by the Fire of 1865, the Union Brewery moved to its present location in 1866.
Beer was brewed in the basement, and the saloon was situated on the first floor.
Fire once again destroyed the building in 1875, and was re-built in 1876.
Since its conception, prohibition was the only evil that interrupted sale, making the Union Brewery one of the longest continuous operating saloons in Virginia City.

Old County Courthouse – Hawthorne, NV

On July 1, 1883 the county seat of Esmeralda County moved from Aurora to Hawthorne. A court house was needed, so a contract to build it for $29125 was awarded. On August 16, 1883 construction began. Corruption and collusion between the contractor George W. Babcock, and political officials are revealed by a grand jury. Despite the wrong doings, in February of 1884 the building was opened and continued as a county entity until May 1907, when the county seat moved to Goldfield. On February 11, 1911 Esmeralda County was split and Mineral County was created. Again, it became the center of county business until 1973, when a modern facility replaced it.

The Old Town of Dayton

Cousin Jack

As the easy to mine placer deposits disappeared, deep underground mining also known as hard rock mining posed new challenges and dan-gers. Immigrant coal miners from Cornwall, England and Ireland were very much in demand for their experience and skill with this type of mining. They were a great help teaching American miners how to hard rock mine. Mine foremen often heard “me cousin Jacks, just over from the old country and he needs job” In this way the Irish and Cornish miners came to be known as “Cousin Jacks.” Their contribution to the Comstock and mining here, in general, was substantial.

El Jefe Grande worked up some language about Al and his widder for a complementary plaque to accompany this original on a monument at Hillside Cemetery in Reno. It definitely does not read like a book report. Stay tuned for progress. (June 18, 6028).

The Glory of Solidarity and Fraternity

Inscription. In Sept. 1864, while Atlanta smoldered, the first use of military force to allay labor unrest in the West occurred when Governor J. W. Nye ordered 2 companies of Calvary from Fort Churchill to end a strike by The Story County Miner’s League. The Unions of the Comstock believed they were essential components in a successful industrial economy. The Virginia City Miner’s Union was a vital part of local society and respected for their efforts to help disabled mineworkers, the widow and the orphan.

The Tonopah Mining Boom

Inscription. In 1900. Jim Butler stopped at a site known as Tonapah, or Little Water, in the Western Shoshone language. Taking a few rock samples, he discovered a mine that led to one of the most important mineral finds of the early twentieth century. As the extent of the bonanza became known, miners and prospectors flocked to the area.

The Tonopah boom revitalized the mining West. From 1900 to 1910, newspaper reporters kept busy writing about spectacular new mining camps throughout southern Nevada, including Goldfield, Rhyolite, Kawich, Manhattan, Round Mountain, Wonder, and Fairview. Many proved to be exaggerated but Tonopah continued.

The Tonopah mines eventually shipped over 5,000,000 tons of ore. Through a new system called leasing, stock issuing corporations were created, bringing in needed capital to promote the new mines including the Desert Queen, Mizpah, Silver Top, and Tonopah Extension.

Virginia City

Inscription.
[Located in the center of town is a monument on which there is mounted six markers commemorating historical events and people of Virginia City]

West Side – Front of Monument:
In June of 1859 in Gold Canyon, a second group of Prospectors found the outcropping of what would become one of the richest gold and silver deposits ever found. Soon to be known as “the Richest Place on Earth” the Washoe Diggings, as it was called, became the towns of Silver City and Gold Hill with populations approaching 28,000 people and was a major factor for the admission of Nevada as the 36th state in the Union. This sesquicentennial year is the 150th anniversary of the gold and silver find.

Old Virginny

Dedicated to “Old Virginny”
Born in Virginia in 1817, an often-inebriated prospector named James Finney was known as “Old Virginia” or “Old Virginny” to his friends. He lived in a tent dug into the side of the hill, which would become known as Johntown, located two miles from the mouth of Gold Canyon. In February 1858 he made a claim on a ledge of rock on the East side of Sun Mountain, filling out a location notice and hiding it in a crevice. This claim would be called the “Virginia Lead”, a large vein near what would later become the “Comstock Lode”. “Old Virginny” later sold his interests to the claim for an old horse, a pair of blankets, and a bottle of whiskey.
In June of 1859 the “Ophir Bonanza” was discovered by two Irish miners, Patrick McLaughlin and Peter O’Riley. This major discovery is recognized as the origin of the “Comstock Lode”. “Old Virginny” would sell any claim he may have had in the discovery for $50.00. James Finney, or “Old Virginny” died on June 20th 1861 after falling from his horse drunk, becoming tangled, and dragged to death. Today “Old Virginny” is remembered by the largest federally designated historical district in America, which bears his name “Virginia City”.

The Pioneer Church

Inscription. The first religious service in Nevada, officiated by a visiting Protestant Episcopal Reverend, was held in Virginia City’s U.S. Courthouse on Sept. 11, 1861. A Parish was organized as St. Paul’s Protestant Episcopal. In the following year the Rev. Franklin S. Rising became St. Paul’s first Pastor and missionary, also holding services in Gold Hill and Silver City. A $30,000.00 church was built and the first service was held on Feb. 22, 1863. It was destroyed in the great fire of 1875 and rebuilt the following year on the original site.

The gothic style St. Paul’s Episcopal Church’s interior is adorned with hand-hewn pine beams and sugar pine planking from Lake Tahoe. The pipe organ, the oldest in Nevada, cost $3,000.00 and came around the “Horn”. St. Paul’s Parish, founded in 1861 is still active and holds Sunday services year round.

The Reno Depots

Inscription:  Myron Lake, owner of the nearby toll bridge, deeded acreage to the Central Pacific Railroad to locate the depot at this site.
In April 1868 the CPRR platted the area and on May 9th auctioned the lots and constructed a utilitarian wood depot. The railroad reached Reno in June and shortly afterwards the original station was replaced by the much grander wood framed Depot Hotel. This two story building had the best rooms and restaurant in early Reno. In 1871 the Virginia and Truckee Railroad laid tracks to the Depot Hotel, and a third floor was added in 1876. The addition burned the following year and was quickly repaired. The Great Fire of 1879 completely destroyed the building. That same year a larger and even grander Depot Hotel was built with three stories, 47 rooms, a bar, and offices for both railroads. The Depot Hotel once again burned to the ground in 1889. The CPRR decided not to fund another Depot Hotel, instead building a small brick one story station with a slate roof.
In 1926 the Southern Pacific Railroad replaced the station with a more traditional depot at the east end of this block. An annex was built on the west end of the Depot to provide access to the lowered tracks. Amtrak officially moved into the former SP station in January 2006.

The Virginia Street Bridges

In 1859, one of the area’s early residents, Charles W. Fuller, built a dwelling on the south side of the Truckee River where the third Riverside Hotel now stands. He constructed a seventeen mile crude sketch of road in the region and received permission to collect tolls. The following year he built a wooden bridge across the river along this route. The winter of 1862 had considerable flooding and this bridge, along with all the others along the Truckee, was swept away. The following year, Myron C. Lake purchased the property from Fuller and replaced the bridge. Four years later, it too was damaged by high water, and was rebuilt by Lake. The importance of the site, known temporarily as Lake’s Crossing, grew rapidly with the 1859 discovery of the Comstock Lode. With the coming of the railroad none years later, the crossing was renamed by Charles Crocker, “Reno” after Civil War hero, Major General Jesse Lee Reno. The famous “Iron Bridge” was to follow in 1877. The span was moved from Virginia Street to Rock Street in 1905 when it was replaced with a more attractive concrete structure. This new crossing’s low design was partially responsible for heavy flooding of downtown Reno in 1950, 1955 and 1997. Lasting over a century, this venerable bridge was demolished in 2015 to make way for a fifth known river crossing at this location.

Virginia City’s Oldest Church

Inscription: Part of the funds to build the First Presbyterian Church were secured through a successful mining speculation. The Trustees had received some inside information from friends on the stock market. With the money in the treasury they purchased a few shares of stock, which rose sufficiently in value. They sold out before the crash and with the proceeds built the church building at a cost  of $4,700 land cost and outbuildings brought the total cost to $12,000. The building was dedicated on January 1, 1867.

Escaping the Great Conflagration of 1875, this was the only major public building left standing. The congregation threw the doors open to help burn and injury victims, and to use as a soup kitchen. The church became a temporary home for Episcopalians and Methodists as well as the District Court. Trials were held in the church. From the pulpit on April 7, 1876, Peter Larkin was sentenced to death for murder.

Pastor William Martin of the First Presbyterian Church delivered the eulogy for Julia C. Bulette, our namesake, after her death in 1867.

Harry Wade Exit Route

Courtesy of the Death Valley 49ers and Marvin Jensen.

Inscription. Some 100 wagons found themselves in Salt Lake City too late to cross the Sierra Nevada. They banded together under the name of Sand Walking Co. and started for the gold fields in California over the old Spanish Trail. After being in Death Valley with the ill-fated 1849 caravan, Harry Wade found this exit route for his ox-drawn wagon, thereby saving his life and those of his wife and children. At this point the Wade party came upon the known Spanish trail to Cajon Pass.

Gold Hill

Inscription. The first prospectors and settlers came to this area in 1852, but Gold Hill was not formally settled until 1858. The following year, with the discovery of silver, Gold Hill became a major community. Never as prominent as Virginia City, Gold Hill still boasted of its big mines, churches, banks, schools, newspapers, and some 8,000 residents in 1875. Continuous competition between the two towns kept Gold Hill lively for many years, until mining began to decline in the 1880’s.

In The Span of One Lifetime

The rumor was that the following text was to be etched onto a plaque and sometime in 2018 would be placed in the Eldorado Canyon pine nut wood ranch where Fannie Gore Hazlett lived during the Comstock era. –Metric

In 1862 Fannie Gore, age 24, a single woman, camped where the Dayton Depot now stands, on her way West. She traveled 16 weeks by mule team along the Emigrant Trail to reach her destination. She was joined in this camp by 30 miners and 200 local indigenous people (Paiute). She wrote about the experience, “This is mining country and the society is rough, with frequent shooting affrays. There is drinking and gambling at every door and there are about 20 men to one woman.”
In 1864 Fannie married Dr. John Clark Hazlett. She went on to write the Historical Sketch of Dayton, published in the 1921-22 Nevada Historical Society Papers. She supported women’s suffrage, and served as a postmaster in Dayton where she organized a library. She met Brigham Young and Mark Twain and socialized with many Nevada governors and legislators.
At age 84 Fannie Gore Hazlett made national news as the oldest woman to ever fly in an aeroplane. From a true pioneer to aeroplane passenger, Fannie lived to 95.

Michelson Residence

Albert Michelson (1852-1931) lived at this location with his family after graduating high school in San Francisco in 1869. By directly speaking with then president Ulysses S. Grant, he won a spot to attend Annapolis. After graduation, he once again returned to his home before reporting to sea duty. In 1907, Albert Michelson became the first American
to receive the Nobel Prize for Science, primarily for his measurements of the speed of light. He died in 1931 in Pasadena, Cal.

The Yellow Jacket Mine Fire

Early in the morning of April 7, 1869, day shift miners were lowered into the depths of the inter connected Yellow Jacket, Crown Point and Kentuck mines. A fire at the 800′ level, probably from a night shift miner’s misplaced candle, collapsed the drift, trapping all below. All mine shafts were filled with hot, suffocating gases, fueled by powerful down-drafts. There were few successful rescues. At least 35 miners died, and many bodies were never retrieved. After three days the mines were sealed to extinguish the fire. The rock in these sections remained hot for three years! The tragic fire helped gain support for labor and funding of Adolf Sutro’s tunnel.

Dedicated to those who perished, and the widows and orphans left behind.

The Misfits

The Misfits is a contemporary western drama filmed in 1960 and is best known for the final film roles of movie legends Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe. It was directed by John Huston and written by playwright Arthur Miller. In 1956, Miller resided outside of Reno and was insprired by Nevada’s vast desert landscapes, wild mustangs and local residents. The Misfits stars Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, Eli Wallach, Montgomery Clift, and Thema Ritter. Miller wrote the screenplay specifically for Monroe, his wife at the time.

The Misfits’ plot centers on Monroe’s character, a recently divorced Roslyn Taybor and her new forlorn friends who go to the Dayton rodeo and come up with a plan to wrangle a herd of wild “misfit” mustangs. The film’s highlight, where the actors wrangle the wild mustangs was shot on a dry lake bed near Stagecoach, 16 miles east of Dayton, now referred to as “Misfits Flats”.

The film’s bar and rodeo scenes were filmed in downtown Dayton. Marilyn Monroe’s famous paddle ball scene, in which she is accompanied by the rest of cast, was shot here inside the Odean Hall and Saloon. Other local filming locations included the Washoe County Court House, the Truckee River, Harrah’s Hotel and Casino, Quail Canyon, and Pyramid Lake. During production, the cast stayed in Reno at the Mapes Hotel. Filming of The Misfits was completed on November 4, 1960, twelve days before the death of Clark Gable. The Misfits was released on February 1, 1961. Marilyn Monroe would not complete another film in her acting career. She passed away in August of 1962.

Dowling’s Blacksmith Shop

Established on this corner in 1861 by Edward & Hughes, castings and mining equipment of all kinds were manufactured here. In 1869 the Transcontinental Railroad link would stimulate development and exploitation, changing the Western U.S. forever. The Silver Spike was commissioned by mining speculator, Railroad Commissioner and Gubernatorial candidate, Fredrick A. Tritle. E.Ruhling & Co., Assayers provided the Comstock silver. One hundred locals took turns pounding the spike into shape here at Robert Lodge’s facility. After the “Last Spikes’ ceremony, May 10, 1869, in Promontory, Utah Territory, the Silver Spike was returned to Virginia City, polished and engraved at Nye Company on C St “To Leland Stanford President of the Central Pacific Railroad. To the iron of the East and the gold of the West, Nevada adds her link of silver to span the continent and wed the oceans.” The Silver Spike resides with the other spike in the Stanford’s collection at Cantor Art Centerin Palo Alto. In 1871 Wm Dowling became the sole proprietor of the blacksmith shop.
