This is the exceptionally important token from Seven Troughs, good for 12 1/2 cents at the bar. This diamond shape token is among the most desirable of Western tokens. Seven Troughs was a mining camp in north central Nevada active around the 1910 and wiped out in a single day by a massive flood. While exploration continues today no great world class ore deposits have since been found at Seven Troughs. Beautiful gold in quartz specimens set in jewelry are known from Seven Troughs. Thomas E. Bangs, a native of Canada, ran a saloon in Mazuma right before moving to the more active camp of Seven Troughs. Bangs was born in Canada in 1857. He came to this country in 1878. The 1900 census shows him living at Rye Patch in the household of Issac M. Springer. They are both listed as miners and Bangs relation to Springer is partner. The 1910 Census shows Bangs as saloon keeper. City: Seven Troughs State: Nevada Date: ID# 37732
