Description

Ellendale, Nevada, June 20, 1909. There is an inscription on the back of the photo: "Ellendale was founded in April, 1909 after the discovery of rich gold float in the area by Ellen Clifford Nay. The town soon boasted a population of over 400 with saloons and other businesses. The mines proved to be rich but the gold deposits were shallow and by 1910 the boom was over. The district produced over $80,000." There is a date stamp: mid-year 1982.
