COMMENTS:
Vulture camp has now been absorbed
by Wickenburg so nothing remains. REMAINS: Nothing. |
The Coulter and Tyson company erected a 5-stamp mill in 1866 that ran until 1873 and produced over $2,000,000 in gold from the Vulture Mine. At the time it was one mile north of Wickenburg and supported a small camp called "Vulture". The mill was bought out by the Vulture company and when that company failed, a new mill was erected downstream on the Hassayampa called Smith's Mill. Today, nothing remains of Vulture. |
