The Tule Silver Dollar Mining Company, Inc.
The Tule Silver Dollar Mining Company was incorporated in July 1919. The company owned five full claims 45 miles south of Goldfield and 12 miles from Hornsilver, in the Tule Canyon Mining District, one-half mile from the Nevada – California state line.
The claims had been “high-graded” many years earlier, when there were no roads in the area, and the hauling was done with teams of oxen to Austin, Nevada for processing.
The company had purchased a one-ton Ford truck to haul supplies in, and ore out of the mine site. A mill site was planned at Sand Spring, across the state line, in Death Valley.
