About 375 feet (114 m) west of the townsite are the remains of the Jumbo mine–consisting of abandoned minecarts, several mounds of tailings, and a few largely collapsed wooden structures.

The residential area was part of a connected series of populated mining sites that also included the Prospect Complex to the northeast.

[3] The town existed by at least 1875, when the first post office was moved there from the nearby Delaware Flats.

The post office was briefly closed in January 1884, reopening after a month, before its 1889 move back towards Delaware Flats to the town of Braddockville, where in 1881 there had been an ore discovery.

[3][8] At its peak, the town was home to roughly 150 miners and their families, as well as a millinery and boarding house.
