Richardson Mine

Nye County, United States

The Richardson Mine was Ontario's first gold mine, opened by Marcus Herbert Powell in 1867. The mine's opening caused Ontario's first gold rush, prompting the founding of Eldorado, Ontario the same year. After only 100 ounces of gold was extracted, the mine closed in 1869.
