La Plata, Nevada


Looking back down the canyon from the old building sites. The distant mountain on the skyline is Fairview Peak.
As the name suggests, this was (purportedly, anyway) a silver strike, dating from the 1860s. ("Plata" = "silver" in Spanish.) However, the "strike" had much more to do with promotion and hype than with actual metal values, and no production took place altho some prospect pits and shafts were dug. Even with the recent run-up in precious metal values, there's been no new activity around the town site itself.
