Mining - Aurora, NV

Folder: Mining
Just over the state line from Bodie, CA, but not nearly so well preserved. Most of the buildings were torn down and hauled away in the late 40s for used brick. I have heard that they _were_ bought and paid for, but the loss of the history is still regrettable. At least the cemetery is finally getting some TLC from a volunteer group.
