A placer claim, showing the locations claimed and by whom. The map shows the mine's name as "Colorado," but evidently it's now "Tammy." Pershing County, Nevada.

At the northwest end of the Bluewing Mtns, Pershing County, Nevada. It's called the "Colorado" placer on the atlas, but the claim marker (inset) calls it "Tammy." Presumably it's changed hands. There's lots of trenching by earth-moving equipment, but the area is so dry I don't know how they're working it as a placer. There's no surface water at all, and I didn't see a well. Maybe they bring in a water truck! Of course, those sorts of issues may be why the place is inactive--
