Time Spoken
Bodie, California, In 1859 William (a.k.a. Waterman) S. Bodey discovered gold near what is now called Bodie Bluff. A mill was established in 1861 and the town began to grow. It started with about 20 miners and grew to an estimated 10,000 people by 1880! By then, the town of Bodie bustled with families, robbers, miners, store owners, gunfighters, prostitutes and people from every country in the world.

Come Home
An old school house in Rhyolite, Neveda. Founded in 1904 after what appeared to be a rich strike of ore by an Eddie Cross and a "Shorty" Harris, plans were made to accommodate an influx of people in the thousands. A train station was built. A school was built without anticipating the number of children who would occupy it. The building was totally inadequate. A second school building was constructed on a grand scale. It was used only briefly and was never filled. The panic of 1907 provided the coup de grace from which the town could not recover. By 1910, the population had shrunk to several hundred and continued until only a few dozen remained.

Mix'n it Up
Cerro Gordo, California. By early in 1867, tales of the strike at Cerro Gordo had spread to other mining camps and a full blown silver boom had blasted its way onto the new land of opportunity. Back then, it took at least two weeks to get to where the action was, from any place like San Francisco, Carson City or Virginia City. Inyo, as a county, was barely a year old, having just been wrought from Tulare County, over the top of the highest of the High Sierra. Even Los Angeles, where there were only about 2,800 people, was only a struggling little cow-town commonly known throughout the state as "El Pueblo." Cerro Gordo was just beginning to boom.
