[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1783983, member: 498"] Back in 1903 my little town had 4 hotels, 2 saloons, a two story dance hall, 2 churches, 3 grocery stores, 2 big warehouses, a barber shop, meat market, a drug store, a railroad depot, 2 section houses for RR employees 3 livery stables, 2 blacksmith shops, a stock yard, a post office, and a school. The country was covered with homesteads scattered over the country. They are all gone. The gold mines big and small were working. The Sunday Hill and the Humbolt were running as was the Rainbow mine which employed 300 men and ran around the clock. About 1920 the mines shut down. The homesteaders got tired of starving and left. Now there is a post office where the counter is only open for 2 hours a day. There is about 10 houses with people living in them. There is roughly 10 ranches scattered over the broad area. I don't think I need to worry about suburban sprawl coming here anytime soon. [/QUOTE]
