Description
(Original Caption) 3/15/1927-Weepah, NV- Numerous camps have been pitched around Weepah, in the hills forty miles west of Tonopah, Nevada, as a result of the accidental finding of rich gold-shot quartz, by two 19-year-old prospectors, Leonard Traynor and Frank Horton. The news of the discovery spread like wildfire, and before long a gold stampede was on. Photo shows a typical prospector whiling away the hours of the night gambling in one of the shacks near Weepah.
