Great Silver Mines of Lake Valley and Sierra County Campes
The Lake Valley area hosts extensive silver camps including Bridal Chamber with 3,000,000 dollars in six months and Kingston near Hillsboro with 7,000,000 in silver. Hermosa and Hermosa’s belt extend toward Apache Mining District and Chloride, featuring rich ore, silver and gold, with notable finds like Byers Run and Clit mine. The Hillsboro district yields gold from porphyry veins, including Bonanza and placers to be developed by Mesa del Oro. Ivanhoe and Emporia veins in Grafton and Mineral Creek showcase high-grade ore, while Great Republic, Readjuster, Nordhausen, and other claims promise substantial returns for investors amid a broad Sierra County mining belt.
