“Discovery”

| The imagery of
this
banner shows George Campbell, the discoverer of Campbell Mine. He
is seated in a trench located at the present mine sight. The image reflects the history of the district because everyone would like to discover something elusive. The prospector realizes this, maybe not in the find, but being part of the search. I am personally connected to this imagery because my mother was a part time prospector who owned claims far to the East. I worked at Campbell Mine for 28 years. |
