That town actually only experienced very brief prosperity due to the discovery of gold not long before in 1899. The population had already dropped to 2,600 by the time of the 1910 census and still sits under 4,000 today

Thanks! This is just because the quiz is too large. Anything with over 100 answers is automatically blocked from being nominated by anyone.
