Description
The German Bar Gold Mine is located in Nevada County, California, 26 miles north of Grass Valley and Nevada City in the Allegheny District on the Middle Yuba River. It was active and productive beginning in the 1850s but closed down at the end of the 19th Century. Unsuccessful attempts were made to reopen the mine, but in 1927 engineer Thomas Stevens purchased the property with the intention of using modern mining techniques. He spent five years getting the mine ready to reopen, which is depicted in this album's photographs. An album of photographs, postcards, and documents relating to the German Bar gold mine in Allegheny, California and several surrounding mines. German Bar. Unrestricted.
