Gold Bronze Mine, Vanderbilt, Vanderbilt District, New York Mts, Mojave National Preserve, San Bernardino Co., California. A former gold, silver, copper and lead mine.
In January 1891, Robert Black struck gold ore in the New York Mountains. Black brought in a trusted rancher, M. M. Beatty, the namesake of the town near Death Valley, to file a claim. Two mining men from Providence, Richard C. Hall and Samuel King, then hurried in and located several veins, which became the Gold Bronze Mine. Two other miners from Providence, Joseph P. Taggart and James H. Patton, joined Hall and King in June of 1891. The four men sank several shafts and took out a few tons of rich gold and silver ore. A camp soon arose at Vanderbilt Spring, in a cove-like gully in the side of a hill.
