Candelaria Water Works & Milling Bought Of:
Forbes & Tobey: 1 Door-$ discovered silver ore here in 1864. Nothing happened until 1879 when a
mixed group of foreign born prospectors, mostly Germans and Slavonians, moved in
and built a boomtown. The big producer was a mine called the Northern Belle that
produced $15 million in silver. Yet there was no water. Water was transported
from a spring nine miles away and cost a dollar a gallon. Whiskey was less
expensive.The stampmill operated without water creating an atmosphere of
dust, which settled in the lungs of the miners, causing many to die of "miners
consumption." Candelaria can be found just east of highway 10, north of Basalt.
