The New Era mine 12 miles north of Cima in the Nesler range is revived after a gold strike with a few workers. A vein of high grade ore 100 ft from the existing shaft boosts the prospect and a stock company is formed to operate. Nearby strikes and local travel hint at Cima’s growth as farmers plant and a well drill operates between Cima and Valley Wells.
