Birth of Old Pioche told in Sunset January issue
The January Sunset Magazine serializes The Birth of Old Pioche by John L. Considine. It recounts how the Burke mine yielded over 17 million dollars, the Burke brothers selling to Raymond Ely and Gracey who financed a 35 thousand dollar purchase with a silver watch as bond. The tale follows the 1870 mill build in Pahranagat, the first ore run, and the eventual rise of Pioche’s big producer. Raymond and Ely emerge as key figures backed by Mormon farmers.
