In 1900 a man named Samuel Newhouse bought the mine located here and a camp called Tent Town soon was established. In 1904 when the mines were producing big a hospital, hotel and many other buildings were built and the town was named Newhouse after the man who owned the land. There was also an opera house and dance hall built here. The mine ran out and the town started to die. There was a cafe that stayed open until 1921. Then it burned down. Submitted by Bob Bezzant. |
