Mojave River Valley’s Mineral Boom Across Barstow Area
Barstow and surrounding valleys see new mills and mining activity. A small Calico mill claims ore $10 to $12 per ton with west Calico developments and shipments. Kramer Hill mill plans with steam shovels forty miles west. A mill between Troy and Hector 25 miles east near the Santa Fe line is under construction alongside clay shipments. West of Barstow, George Parks seeks a small mill near Waterman ranch amid gold-bearing sands. East Ord mining near Daggett yields winter gold from a tunnel as Bentonite clays are shipped from Hector to Los Angeles for drilling and construction.
