Mining begin here around 1910 but truly Jumbo did not grow into the town it became till around 1935 when the Jumbo Mine came to be. President Herbert Hoover visited this camp around 1937 and referred to it as a very impressing mining town. Mining actually continued up until the 1980's over the years time and time again a man by the name of George Austin leased the mine to multiple investors. Most investors were tired of the high cost, litigation and broke the lease. With that being said you had booms in 1941, 1947 and 1951. Jumbo also had a 30 ton amalgamation mill, dance hall, saloon, quite a few claims, glory hole and multiple residences. Today not much remains of Jumbo but the views are stellar and their are plenty of remnants of the past to see including the cabins where the miners lived and even the admin building where they stored their boots and hard hats. The set of snow-capped peaks is the Santa Rosa Range sorry I said Santa Clara a few times by accident this place excited me. While not much remains ill take our viewers throughout the mine, mill and cabin sites of this haunted gold mining town which in its hey day was quite the marvel before it went bust.
