Mercury mine, credited with about 500 flasks, 1955-1958, and 1968-1970.
-TINGLEY, 1985
There are still a few buildings standing here along with a large-ish mercury retort. The road to the mining camps goes through some very pretty country, it's starting to become gnarly in places as it slowly becomes washed away. There is another retort down by Golconda Canyon road but it's unknown if it's related.
There is also the abandoned Etchegoyen Ranch a bit further east that you can explore a little bit, but not too much, as it's posted.
