There are some thirty buildings which give the place the appearance of quite a town. " The mine was worked until 187S with good success, when the price of quicksilver got so low that it was decided to suspend work for awhile. There is said to be a fine body of ore there yet, and it is considered to be a very valuable piece of property. The machinery is now rusting and the buildings going to rack, and altogether the place presents a very dilapi- dated appearance.
