Hart Greatest Camp in California Described by Bevis
Charles G. Bevis calls Hart the greatest camp in California with five properties and about sixty workers. The Tonopah wage scale is adopted, and ore values vary from low grade $15-$30 per ton to streaks of high grade $75-$350 per ton. Water scarcity from Manville hampers operations as the mill at Searchlight processes ore twenty four miles away. Janes H. Hart is noted as the original discoverer and Bevis plans to return after the holiday to the southern camp with heavy interests.
