Pinal County, Arizona
Goldfield
Ghost Town
Back in the 1890's
Goldfield
boasted 3 saloons, a boarding house, general store, blacksmith shop,
brewery, meat market and a school house.
Just when it looked like the
town would outgrow Mesa, the vein faulted, the grade of ore dropped and
the town died a slow painful death.
After several unsuccessful attempts
to reopen the mines, the town did come to life again from 1910 on and
off until 1926.
