Date
1905
Description
Berlin, Nevada 1905. There is an inscription on the back of the image: "Silver ore was discovered at the site in 1895. In 1898 the Nevada Company purchased the claims, developed the mine and installed a 30 stamp mill. Soon Berlin boasted a population of 250. There was a store, post office and a number of saloons in the area. Mining ceased by 1909 and the mill's machinery was removed in 1947. Today Berlin is a ghost town in a state of "arrested decay" and is part of the Berlin-Ichthyosaur Nevada Satate Park. Berlin's mines produced over $800,000. Don E. Lewis Collection." There is a date stamp: Christmas 1985.
