Once busy mining camps, these towns bustled with activity. The miners and prospectors came first; soon they were followed by shopkeepers, bankers, families, ministers, and all of the people it takes to make a community. Once the gold or silver was gone, the miners moved on and the towns became empty. Only their ghosts and a few weathered buildings remain.
