Named "original" because two early mines were "Amador Number One" and "Amador Number Two". This and the Spring Hill Mine (across Amador Creek) were the first gold mines in Amador County. Headframe and footings of the stamp mill are still visible. It was one of the first quartz mines producing into the late 1870s. It continued to be mined until 1937.
