The Mammoth or Lake district is in southwestern Mono County about 50 miles south of Bridgeport. The district is on the east flank of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and is just east of Mammoth Lakes, a well-known resort area. The Devil's Postpile National Monument is about 10 miles to the west. Gold and silver-bearing veins were discovered here in 1878, and a short-lived "rush" followed. Much of the production at that time was from the Mammoth mine, which yielded $200,000 in 1878-81. The district was organized in 1887. Several thousand people were in the area then, the principal settlements having been Mammoth City, Mill City, and Pine City. The value of the total production of the district is estimated at $1 million. [Western Mining History] Incorporated December 13, 1878 in California. Located in Mono County, Ca.
