Pinacate Mining District

The Pinacate Mining District is 5 to 8 miles southwest of Perris, California.

It produced a total of about 104,000 ounces of gold through 1959, all from the lodes of various mines.

The district declined until the mid-1930s, when attempts were made to rehabilitate the Good Hope and several other mines.

These efforts were largely unsuccessful, the Good Hope mine closed when it was flooded with underground water.
