The discovery and promotion of
The discovery and promotion of the district was made by two brothers from Goldfield—Thomas and Braden Ramsey. On a reconnaissance trip in 1905 they prospected the area and brought samples back to Goldfield for assay. Some samples had promising results and the brothers continued their trade of setting up claims and town sites for sale. A survey map of the Ramsey district in 1907 depicts more than 189 claims and town site lots, surveyed and platted. Promotional postcards were mailed, ads were placed in the “Los Angeles Times,” and a write up was even featured in the historic Goldfield Nelson-Gans fight program of 1906 about the Ramsey mining district, its recent discoveries, and how it may become Nevada’s next Comstock Lode.
