The original name of the settlement that was formed at the base of Silver Mountain was called Kongsberg which is a Scandinavian translation meaning "King Mountain". In this case the name fit the settlement as these mountains that surrounded Silver Creek were at one time very rich in Silver. In 1858 this area was discovered by Scandinavian miners who eventually in 1863 decided to call this town Silver Mountain City.

Just over a few years the town grew to about 3000 residents most of them prospectors who mined for gold and silver. These miners brought their families with them and for many years made a life right along Silver Creek. Today very few remnants of the town remain accept the smelter at Chalmers Mansion and remnants of the old city jail which today is sectioned off with fencing as well as barbed wire to help preserve what very little is left.

Ebbetts Pass is an area that may be one of the best kept secrets in California. The area is littered with beautiful rock formations, creeks, lush alpine forest and prestigious peaks such as Silver Mountain. Just within a few miles are Corrals where at one time ranchers kept there horses and cattle. Although there were hundreds of claims surrounding the town site many of those mines never expanded thus they no longer even exist on the maps.

Throughout the area are many historic roads that once served the residents of Kongsberg sadly they are either overgrown or barely visible. Some of those roads were laid out by the miners and can go for miles. Some of the more well known mines were the Exchequer, Garfield, Isabella, J.X.L., Lady Franklin, Pennsylvania, and Raymond Meadows Mines. Very little remains of them today but a few tailings and debris piles. The best example of mining closest to Silver City would be found at Chalmers Mansion. There is even a small cemetery just down the road that has a very tragic history you can read it directly below for those who are of the ill hearted as its very sad in my opinion. This was a very unique town it had miners, murderers, thieves, mothers, children, ranchers and even prostitutes.



As you can see life was very difficult surrounding this mountain it is a fact that people died here whether it was drowning or even mining accidents. Which leads me to believe that not only is Bigfoot found here but the area around the mansion may also be haunted. There are more Bigfoot sightings in this region then your wildest dreams however very few talk about it considering the seclusion that surrounds this area. Markleeville California is just a few miles away and allot of sightings also occurr out there. Since Silver City became a ghost town the only competition elusive creatures such as Bigfoot have is mother nature itself here.

From 1864 to about 1875 Silver Mountain City held the county seat for Alpine County. Alpine County is one of the most amazing territories in all of California and one of the most secluded regions. The terrain in this county is some of the harshes in all of the sierras and your going to learn that based on our videos as well as photos. Mining here was difficult and life was extremely harsh as most of the mountains contain snow year around.

The town would eventually go bust as the mines only made about $200,000 and most of that would be spent on tunneling. The sound of explosives eventually would die much like most of the town that eventually went from 3000 people to become completely abandoned in 1886. Some of the structures were moved to museums or in some cases Markleeville California while others became consumed by mother nature and Silver Creeks raging waters. Meanwhile many of the townsfolk decided to relocate to Bodie where mining was more prosperous.

Further below on this page is a more in depth history of the area along with some of the photos we captured of the remnants of what was. This truly is an amazing place even when I view the black and white photos you can kind of make out where the town once was. However today where the town stood trees now grow otherwise not much has changed Silver Mountain is still the same beast it was over a century ago.

Another nearby ghost town just down the road from Kongsberg is a small mining settlement called Centerville Flat. I decided to include both ghost towns in this update since they are relatively close to one another. You can kind of consider this area Kongsberg sister city although this settlement didn't grow quite as large. All that really remains of Centerville Flat is a few Corrals however the entire town that once existed here is gone. The area today is now a campground with many undeveloped sites.

However I wanted to point out something interesting about this town. The town had a sawmill which was operated by Louis Chalmers till about 1868. The sawmill produced 8 to 10 thousand feet of lumber daily. Allot of that lumber was used to build up all three local towns which include Markleeville, Silver Mountain City/Kongsberg and Centerville. The lumber was also used in the mines as well. The Chalmers lived in a mansion between both of the ghost towns which still stands today in Ebbetts Pass and we have photos of it just like the remaining remnants of these settlements which is very little.

Some of you may ask yourself why it is I chose to put so much effort into such an area like this and well the answer is simple. This location is another world allot of places are untouched by man. As equally historic it is as beautiful which says allot considering many of the places we do visit are deplorable. Life is pure up around Ebbetts Pass as meadows of flowers grow and the miles of mountains allow the mind to wander. I feel very strong also about Sasquatch possibly taking up residency in this region. At one time the native American presence was very strong in the pass and across the world every tribe has there own version of this creature. Which I have come to believe that it is a very intelligent hominoid that can survive because it has all the elements that surround its territory which help attribute to this factor. Also keep in mind Ebbetts Pass does closer in the winter sometimes for a half of year so creatures like this truly have free range to move about in order to hunt or mate. Although there are those who feel the need to mock me there is allot of scientific research that goes into finding new species and these projects are very necessary as the public has a right to know.

This is a wonderful area and over the years I have made many friends through our organization. Its an area those friends and I can camp search for the unknown. Its an area I visit often hiking and search for tracks. Its one of the most beautiful areas of the Sierra Nevada's all within a half hour from where I live. I never sought this region out in a way it found me as one day I was driving and it called out to me as I pulled right on up hiking in a region at the time I knew nothing about. Now that I have done so much more research it just adds to the adventure it truly does.

Planks from saw mill find new resting place in Alpine

by Jonni Hill


Jonni Hill/The R-C Restored planks from the Exchequer Mill are a backdrop to an Irish cart in the new carriage house exhibit at the Alpine County Museum.

The Alpine County Museum curators are excited about a piece of Alpine history they will now have on display in their newly renovated "carriage shed." Two of the walls are now lined with the 140-year-old planks milled on sight at the Davidson saw mill which are some of the remains of the mill itself, located within sight of present-day Highway 4 heading to Ebbetts Pass.

The mill as well as an eight-stamp quartz mill, the Buckey No. 2 Mine and other holdings, all located near Silver Mountain some 9 miles south of Monitor on Silver Creek, a tributary of the East Carson River, became the property of a Scotsman by the name of Lewis Chalmers who, in the fall of 1869, purchased the mining concerns and renamed it the Exchequer.

Chalmers was born on the east coast of Scotland in the town of Fraserburgh in Aberdeenshire on March 9, 1825. He married Elizabeth Ann Gordon Cameron in 1850, and they had one son, Lewis William Chalmers. Sadly, Cameron passed away in childbirth in 1851. He remarried a year and a half later, to Ellen Miller MacEwen, who bore him four children.

In 1864 he moved to London, taking a position with the firm of Matthey & Company, "assayers and smelters to the Bank of England." Within a year he joined the Imperial Silver Quarries Company where he was bitten by the "silver bug" and soon sailed to the United States as the company agent, arriving in the town of Monitor in Alpine County, Nov. 9, 1866.

Chalmers sailed for America, leaving a wife and his five children, and hopefully enough funds to see them through until his return. But that return was long in coming.

After several failed ventures, Chalmers acquired the properties he renamed the Exchequer and built himself a fine home which has come to be known as Chalmers Mansion. His brother, Captain John Chalmers, came to America to help manage the mine. In the spring of 1870 he arrived at Silver Mountain and set about his work - erecting a building for the miners, grading a road to the mill and opening the shafts, drifts and winzes of the Exchequer. But, extracting the precious silver from the recalcitrant ore proved hard to almost impossible. Hard Alpine winters hinder progress and the Chalmers brothers could not pound a profit from the quartz they milled.

Almost from the beginning, Lewis Chalmers had maintained a housekeeper. When his current houselady, Mrs. Kelly, left for San Francisco, she recommended a friend, Antoinette Laughton, who had a baby boy. Antoinette enchanted the entire town when she stepped off the stage in Silver Mountain and Chalmers was infatuated. Antoinette, a strikingly attractive girl of 20, was disillusioned by a poor marriage and divorce, was subtly conniving and understandably suspicious of men's motives, but she charmed the then widower Chalmers. Although he was 30 years her senior, he was still considered the catch of the county.

Chalmers and Antoinette (Nettie) were eventually married in San Francisco and from that union they had a son and a daughter. They returned to their Exchequer holdings and still continued to search for the silver Chalmers doggedly maintained was there for the taking. By January 1884, with mines shut down and creditors demanding sale, Chalmers returned to England for the last time to try to raise funds to back his ventures, leaving his family in Alpine County.

In 1898, attorney Arnott got a judgment against Chalmers and bought the mill and home site at a sheriff's sale in 1900. He was good enough to deed the home and garden to Nettie Chalmers.The

Nettie never heard from Lewis again and in February of 1904, living in comparative obscurity, Chalmers died of a heart attack at the age of 78. Nettie left Alpine County for a room on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland, Calif. Her daughter had disappeared without a trace and she tried in vain to find her. Despondent over her vanished husband and missing daughter, on the night of Dec. 28, 1913, she locked her door, stuffed cloth and paper into the key hole and the door and window casings, turned on the gas jets of the chandelier and lay down on the bed with a photo of her daughter cradled in her arms.

Today, on a sharp curve along Highway 4, under towering pines and almost in view of Chalmers Mansion, is a small pioneer cemetery where the remains of Nettie Chalmers lay, along with Lewis and Nettie's young son who drowned in Silver Creek, the remains of her first son Henry Laughton and those of Lewis Chalmer's oldest son who had visited from Scotland and died in Silver Mountain at the age of 20. The fate of Nettie's daughter was never known.

Now some of the few remains of the Exchequer grace the walls of a new exhibit at the Alpine County Museum, that will have an unveiling of the new displays during a reception at noon, Oct. 11 at the museum, at the end of School Street in Markleeville, for the Robert Jackson Memorial dedication.

SILVER MOUNTAIN CITY, CALIFORNIA
 
Today, Silver Mountain City is a ghost of a ghost town. An army of pines has invaded the town's cross streets, and only the traces of hand-dug cellars and rock foundations remain where noisy saloons and thriving businesses once stood. The old stone jail, once a proud centerpiece of town, is a jumble of broken blocks. 
 
But from 1862 to about 1876, this rocky flat beside Silver Creek was home to literally thousands of citizens: miners and merchants, murderers and mothers. For those few, heady years, Silver Mountain was an incarnation of greed and muscle, silver and seduction – in short, a quintessential silver mining town. 
 
No sooner was work commenced in the croppings [in the summer of 1861], than the richest description of Ruby Silver ore revealed itself, and as a matter of course, created one of those "excitements" once so common in this Country. Eager prospectors covered the mountain sides, swarmed in the immediate vicinity of the pioneer discovery, and almost before the year expired, nothing was left in the shape of a ledge or stain or outcrop to locate, the same ledge taken up two or three times over by a rude Notice on some of its spurs or angles, and all found a place in the Records of the then-formed "Silver Mining District."
 
A general rush from Virginia [City] and other mining camps was made to the new El Dorado, buildings of all kinds were erected in anxious haste, saloons drove a rushing trade, corner lots ruled high.
                        -- Lewis Chalmers, 1871
 
            But in its own ghostly way, the town of Silver Mountain never really died. Its people and their stories remain etched in microfilm and photographs and hand-scrawled documents. With a bit of puzzling, visitors can still visit the spot where the Fiske Hotel once stood, pay a call to the site of Sauquet's Store, or stop by Davidson's Saloon. Close your eyes as you stand beside Main Street, and you can almost hear the clink of glasses in the saloons and feel the earth tremble as Giant Powder explodes deep inside the mines.
 
            Silver Mountain City's legacy also lives on in Alpine County itself. For without the energy of this amazing town, California's 46th county might never have been formed.
 
            We hope you'll share our excitement about this amazing community and will help us preserve its history.

 Silver Mountain Jail

The remains of a jail in a 1866 boom town, Historic Silver Mountain City.

An excerpt from Up and Down California in 1860-1864; The Journal of William H. Brewer

"Silver Mountain (town) is a good illustration of a new mining town. We arrive by trail, for the wagon road is left many miles back. As we descend the canyon from the summit, suddenly a bright new town bursts into view. There are perhaps forty houses, all new (but a few weeks old) and as bright as new, fresh lumber, which but a month or two ago was in the trees, can make them. This log shanty has a sign up, "Variety Store"; the next, a board shanty the size of a hogpen, is "Wholesale & Retail Grocery"; that shanty without a window, with a canvas door, has a large sign of "Law Office"; and so on to the end. The best hotel has not yet got up its sign, and the "Restaurant and Lodgings" are without a roof as yet, but shingles are fast being made.

On the south of the town rises the bold, rugged Silver Mountain, over eleven thousand feet altitude; on the north a rugged mountain over ten thousand feet. Over three hundred claims are being "prospected." "Tunnels" and "drifts" are being run, shafts being sunk, and every few minutes the booming sound of a blast comes on the ear like a distant leisurely bombardment.

Founded by Scandinavian miners as Kongsberg in 1858. Silver City was the Alpine County seat from 1864 to 1875.In 1878 news of a silver strike in Bodie emptied the town of most residents. Silver City turned into a ghost town as businesses closed. Buildings like the old log jail were relocated to the new county seat in Markleeville. The Isabella boarding house remained a landmark along highway 4 for many years."

Silver Mountain City comes alive

by Irving Krauss

The ghostlike locale of Silver Mountain City came to life Saturday morning, as historical researchers Karen and Rick Dustman led the Alpine County Museum tour through what remains of the once-thriving mining community.

The Dustmans' descriptions of the long-gone businesses, buildings, streets and the colorful men and women who toiled there filled the imaginations of the 42 visitors.

Many were from Alpine County, some from other places in California including Placerville and Ripon, with several from Carson Valley.

Karen's words in the brochure that was handed out at the beginning of the tour set its tone: "...stand beside old Main Street (today's Highway 4) and close your eyes," she wrote, "and you can almost imagine the clink of glasses in the saloons and hear the thunder of Giant Powder exploding in the mines."

Karen and Rick certainly brought the old community to life.

Located off California Highway 4 and a 20-minute drive from Markleeville, Silver Mountain City is now covered by trees and bushes. Once a bustling community, its thousand residents were mainly miners seeking their fortune. Many labored in the mines for $4 a day.

The streets were carefully laid out in a grid pattern and contained a jail, hotels, retail establishments, livery stables, and a large number of saloons. Hogs had the run of the streets.

When Alpine County was formed in 1864, Silver Mountain City was its county seat but the seat was subsequently moved to Markleeville.

The tour visited the sites of the long-gone structures and Karen and Rick described what they were like.

Most of the buildings were hastily built with whatever material was at hand yet they managed to withstand the harsh winters. Rick passed around a piece of metal sheathing from the side of one-a flattened tin can with nail holes.

He noted the importance of not removing things of historic interest, and that he would return the item to where he found it.

Remnants of the jail built in 1867 remain. It had six cells, two of which are now in the jail at the Alpine County Museum in Markleeville. Other sites visited included Ryan's Exchange Saloon, Swinerton's Hardware Store, Betschmann's Stable that also had a blacksmith's shop, and the Fisk Hotel.

Built around 1863, it boasted oyster dinners, and Rick passed around a plastic bag with oyster shells found at the site. They too would be returned to where they were found. The hotel was disassembled in 1883 and moved to Markleeville where it still stands at Main and Montgomery streets.

Powers' Store, which advertised groceries, dry goods, and clothing, was also noted. The original sign for that store is in the Alpine County Museum and includes a display of some of the items that were likely sold by Powers.

The site of the Silver Mountain Bulletin was pointed out. After it folded in 1867 its place was taken by the Alpine Chronicle that originally began publication in Markleeville in 1864. Also visited were the sites of the Ogden Saloon that had a section for court hearings and county offices, and Errickson's Hotel.

Errickson had an affair with the wife of Ernest Reusch, who shot him dead.

A band of masked men seized Reusch as he was being taken to Mono County for trial and hanged him from Hangman's Bridge, just outside Markleeville.

But in spite of the riches envisioned by those who trekked to Silver Mountain City and great speculation in mines and other property, little money was made for the ore was too hard to work and Silver Mountain City faded.

Being at Silver Mountain City had special meaning for several of the participants who had family ties there.

Among them were Dennis Nelson and his wife from Ripon. Dennis' great-grandparents lived there; Annie Hay gave birth to a daughter Mary Hay in 1869.

Marian and Doug Liesz who live in Placerville told of their great grandfather Hiram Scott who came to Silver Mountain City in 1863 and brought his wife there a year later. He invested in the Mamouth and Yreka mines.


Following the tour and lunch at the museum, a slide show was presented depicting some of the Silver Mountain City buildings and people.

A second tour is planned for September.

For information call the Alpine County Museum at (530) 694-2317.

Karen has written three books and she and Rick are completing "Silver Mountain: Ghost of the Sierra."

For information, contact Karen at (530) 694-2122.

Karen Dustman is an attorney in the Douglas County District Attorney's Office.
