It covers an area 16 miles (east to west) and 8 miles (north to south) in the hills north of the Truckee River. Reno was located at the center of the south side of the district. Poeville was a town located at a spring in the center of the district. Peavine Peak is the highest point in the district. The northwest part of the district was serviced by the NCO railroad. Browne described the district in 1867. He says it was originally laid out to be 20 miles east to west and 10 miles north to south. He reports that gold & silver occur in quartz veins with copper carbonate ores.The Bay State Mining Co. was planning on installing a Haskell smelter at Reno. Dr. Landszwert of Reno had copper ores containing $150 in gold and $250 in silver. In 1868, Browne reports that there are 13 veins opened in the district, striking north/south, and cutting through granite and metamorphosed sediments. Hague, 1870, reports: "Veins of copper ore have been opened in metamorphic rocks and prospected to a depth of 40 or 50 feet. The surface ore consists chiefly of oxides and carbonates with some sulphurets of copper. It is slightly argentiferous. The region has been lying neglected for several years but its proximity to the railroad may make it an available source of copper should future exploration encourage further development ." Burchard (1881) notes that the Golden Fleece at Poeville has opened an 8-foot vein by tunnel and incline. He mentions the Massalond Ledge (located 3 1/2 miles west of Reno), and the copper belt of the district located 15 miles northwest of Reno City: Pea Vine Mining District State: Nevada Date: HWAC# 79256
