THE STANDARD MILL-BODIE, CALIFORNIA
The original wooden mill burned in the late 1890s. When
the owners cleaned up the dirt and ashes from the
burned mill they recovered enough gold to build the
new 20 stamp mill. Theodore ("Tad") Hoover, brother
of Herbert, lived in the house to the right of the mill
and was superintendent of the plant. Ore from the
standard mine, discovered in 1861, was processed here
until recent years when operations have been sporadic.
The standard mine and Bodie, discovered in 1887, were
consolidated and today the mines are idle . . M.P.
