Highland camp booms as Old Highland rises near Pioche
The Old Highland mining area six miles west of Pioche shows rapid activity with many shafts, new hoists, and planned townsite development. Key mines Mendah, Little Mendah, Standard Dollar, Manhattan, Gypsy, Copper King, Copper Queen, Great Western, Highland Mary, Milwaukee, and Last Chance push ore shipments ahead of anticipated railroad arrivals. County officials report election results and fund actions while local residents mark improvements, repairs, and new businesses amid a bustling mining scene.
