Mining History:
Desert Fever Inyo County: Gold in Inyo County Ballarat Ghost Town
Charles Anthony and John Lampier located the Panamint Valley Mine on July 27, 1893. This mine, also known as the Anthony, Gold Bug, and Knob Mine,
is located 3-1/2 miles east of the
Post Office Spring
in Post Office (now Pleasant) Canyon. A small camp sprang up around Anthony's 5 gold mining
claims. Henry Ratcliff worked in Anthony's camp and discovered in May and July, 1896,6 claims east of town which became the Ratcliff (Radcliffe)
Consolidated Gold Mines, Ltd. James F. Cooper staked a claim east of the Ratcliff group in 1896, near an old stone corral thought to be built
by Indians.
