The Wire Patch Mining Company owned the following mining claims: Frederick the Great, Emperor, Queen of the Forest, Elephant, and others. In 1882, an underground gold ore body was discovered within the Elephant claim. $75,000 (about 3750 troy ounces) was recovered in the first four years. In 1888, The Wire Patch Gold Mining & Milling Company opened the Huntington Mill which used an improved gold ore reduction method.
