Ophir Canyon and the Murphy Mine by Trevor Meade (Western Places Volume 13-1)

Ophir Canyon and the Murphy Mine by Trevor Meade

Western Places Volume 13-1 

 Located in one of the most scenic areas of central Nevada, the Murphy mine was one of the premier mines of the 1860s.  Trevor sorts out the confusion and erroneous reports of the early discoveries and Mining Districts.  No real towns resulted from this mining, so there was no newspaper to report on daily activities, but the Reese River Reveille (Austin) tells of the murder of Richard Ryan and other events.
