Though no one was ever able to locate Charles Alvord's lost mine, gold WAS discovered in the Alvord Mountains by others, just before the year 1881. A mining operation- which was named in honor of Charles Alvord, was set up, and it is thought that an arrastre was used to process the gold, early on.
Nonetheless, an outfit that was called the Alvord Consolidated Quartz Mining Company sold 75,000 shares of its stock, in order to finance the mining operation. This was in February of 1881.
