Description
Gilbert, Nevada, February 25, 1925. Gilbert was located in the Monte Cristo Range, 26 miles west of Tonopah. There is an inscription on the back of the image: "The town was founded as the result of a rich gold strike in the area by the Gilbert brothers in 1924. At its height (1925-1927), the town's population exceeded 400. After the boom, the mines maintained a small, steady production until World War II eventually forced them to close. In addition to gold, the district produced lead, silver and high grade turquoise. Nevada Historical Society Collection." There is a date stamp: 1987.
