This abandoned mining operation in California was not to extract gold.... . Around 1904-1905, the mineral scheelite, the primary ore for tungsten, was discovered in this area.

The demand for tungsten soared during World War I (1914-1918), as it was crucial for hardening steel used in artillery shells and armor. This
