Taylor was an important mining man in Goldfield. Taylor located the second mining claim in Goldfield. He located the Jumbo, Florence, Red King and Firelight claims on October 19, 1903. (He would locate other claims later.) But it was the Jumbo and Florence that would make Taylor a millionaire. It started in the Fall of 1903 when a rich pocket of gold was discovered while doing location work on the Jumbo. According to Church & Carpenter the Jumbo yielded $1,371,165 between 1904 and 1909 and the Florence over $6,000,000. The Florence was located in MIlltown and the Jumbo in Jumbotown. These were two early suburbs of Goldfield. He later became associated with the Red Top Mine. The Red Top was consolidated with other Goldfield properties under the Goldfield Consolidated Mines Company. (Bennett Collection) Date: 1904-2004 City: Goldfield State: Nevada HWAC# 68044
