This parcel is a patented mining claim in the historic Buffalo Hump Mining District, steeped in rich mining history that at the turn of the last century (1898) was the site of the one of the last great gold rushes in the world. The ensuing collection of boomtowns is now only but remnants of those prosperous days, yet the evidence of the mines, those towns and antique mining equipment can still be found. Be sure to try your hand panning for gold in the year round alpine creek that begins its long journey to the Pacific Ocean from the springs and flows through this picturesque property. This sale includes the mineral rights and the adjudicated Decreed water right for the springs and the creek on the parcel.
