THE HISTORY OF RUBY HOLLOW (story copyright stolen and used by another site)
Somewhere just north of where Silver City sits and close to where hwy 36 intersects hwy 6 starts the southwest corner of Ruby Hollow. The northwest corner is located about 2 miles north on hwy 36.
The canyon or "gulch" going up the mountain was caused by an Earth fault. The United States Geological Service named it "Eureka Fault".
Ruby Hollow spans about 2 miles across the valley and stretches to the east till the valley stops and drops downhill, setting the eastern end of the Hollow.
There were lots of silver and other minerals found in the Mountains around the Hollow and caused a boom.
A city grew up under the mill for the miners. Back in the 1860's the town was called "Ruby Hollow" and it was the center of all of the action the time.
In 1870 someone named that valley town and registered the township as "Eureka" with the United States Post Office.
