The Alvord Mine, Pt. VI...

Throughout the early 1880's, the Alvord Mine was bought, sold, and worked by several different individuals and/or companies. 

Between 1884 and 1887, the mine was being operated by a J.B. Osborn, of Daggett.

By May of 1885, Osborn was hauling ore to processing sites at Camp Cady, where a mill had been built near the Mojave River.  That month, $36,973 was earned by the mine. 

The Alvord mine kept producing steadily, until September of 1891, when a fire destroyed the mill that had been built at Alvord Well. 

To be continued.
