This is the place where you can go back into the old west in the 1800s and find out what it was really like ~ especially in Pioche, Nevada, which was so bad that 72 people died before one died of a natural death.

The questions constant that come to us from our web sites. If anyone knows the answer to the following one we haven't yet answered, we'd appreciate it if you'd let us know.
Someone in Virginia is wanting information about Pioche Mines Consolidated, Inc. There was litigation going on in 1960 concerning the closing of the mine and also against the president of the mine, John Janney. He doesn't have any idea of what happened after that.
Someone is interested in finding out all he can about Beverage, California, which is a ghost town on Paniment Mt.
Another person is looking for ANY information on the Hornsilver/Gold Point area of Nevada and on John William Dunfee for whom the mountain east of there was named after (Mt. Dunfee).
Two more questions came in yesterday, so someone's visiting our sites or reading our newspapers!
One man sent a letter saying he stayed in Pioche for a while in 1951, and remembers the Mt. View Hotel. The lady that owned it had a granddaughter by the name of Pat Muir, and he'd very much like to hear from her. Also, there was a girl named Ellen Hines. Anyone who knows the whereabouts of these two women, can write to Morry Nelson, 19959 Brick Road, South Bend, Indiana 46637. He'd greatly appreciate it.
Another, who e-mailed us, wants to know about the years of operation of the Pioche Trading Post and of any trade tokens they may have issued.
