The Palmyra Mining District, which included the towns of Palmyra and Como, was organized in 1862 in the Pine Nut Mountains 8 miles southeast of Dayton between the Sullivan (to the southwest) and Indian Springs (to the northeast) districts. Both districts were combined in 1869. J.D. Winters, of Yellow Jacket Mine fame, once operated a small mill at Como before heading to the Comstock. In 1861 Palmyra had a considerable business district and a post office. The following year promising ledges were discovered a half-mile east, and the town of Como was platted there. Over the next year or two virtually the entire population of Palmyra removed to Como. A letter from Como was published in the Daily Alta California on August 31st, 1863 and paints a picture of a bustling mining camp in competition with Virginia City. The writer mentions many mine names but not this company. Mines mentioned include: Shiloh Lode, Palmyra Consolidated, Wagram Co., Monte Cristo, Rapidan, Sharon, Ray, Sonora, Prince of Wales, Walker, Mineral Tunnel, and many others. They mention a mill being put up and more on the way that fall. Clearly, they are excited about the possibilities of this district! However, by 1865, Como had not panned out.
