Additional Details:
Once a teeming mining camp of some 15,000 people. As the ore has been worked out its population has dwindled to only a few hundred. Built on the steep mountain-side, only one city block of its several miles of streets is on the level. So precipitous are the slopes that entrances from street level give to third and fourth floors of many of its buildings.
