So, the question is whether the site of the Alvord Mine ruins that still sit, baking in the desert sun, are located at the site of Charles Alvord's lost mine. Modern lost-mine "scholars" insist Charles Alvord's first-find did NOT occur at the spot where the ruins are located. They cite the fact that the gold produced at the developed Alvord mine was valued at only $12.75 per ton, whereas Alvord claimed that HIS mine could pay the national debt - in 1860 dollars, of course.
