Great Silver Mines of Lake Valley and Sierra County Camps
The Lake Valley region features the Beidal Chamber with $3,000,000 in silver mined in six months and nearby camps at North Pereira Tierra Blanca and Hermosa yielding substantial silver and gold. Kingston near Hillsboro produced $7,000,000 in silver, while Hillsboro and the Apache Mining District report rich veins and placer gold. The era’s districts include Byers Run Cliffs, the St Cloud, Atlanta, and White Eagle plains, and the Ivanhoe and Emporia veins with significant ore values and ongoing claims.
