Gold

Rebel Creek and National Districts: west flank of the Santa Rosa Range between

Santa Rosa Peak and Buckskin Mountain, about 50 miles north of Winnemucca.

Placers occur in several of the creeks that drain the west flank of the Santa Rosa Range

on the east side of the Quinn River Valley, including Rebel, Willow, Pole, and

Canyon Creeks, in mining districts known as Rebel Creek, National, and Quinn River.

The gold probably derived from gold-silver-copper-lead deposits of Late Cretaceous or

early Tertiary age, or from the less abundant but richer gold-silver deposits of the late

Tertiary age that formed the ‘bonanza’ ores in the Buckskin and National districts.

1906

In 1906, John McAninch and three partners (C.W. Compton, E.B. Simmons, and

Mrs. Mary A. Vance) filed fourteen (14) hard-rock / quartz claims, all located in the

Disaster Peak Mining District (north-central Humboldt County), with all 14 of the legal

‘Notice of Location’s (one for each claim) recorded in Notices Book I (‘I’, not ‘1’).

All 14 claims are recorded in all four names (Compton, Simmons, McAninch, Vance);

all four people are recorded in the claims as ‘citizens of the United States over the age

of twenty-one years’ (in 1906), and nothing more is known about John's three partners.

The fourteen hard-rock / quartz claims, in alphabetical order, are
