| GRAVEYARD DISCOVERED SEPTEMBER 2007 |
|
|
| THERE WERE AT LEAST EIGHTEEN INTERMENTS AT THIS LOCATION |
The old graveyard imaged above was discovered in September 2007. There were eighteen interments at the site. Later, a possibly
related nineteenth grave was discovered on a neighboring hill. Since discovery, it has been learned that it's probable the
site contains the remains of Chinese laborers from the Clip Mine, about eight miles away. If so, this site represents the
second interment of these individuals. They had previously been buried in a wash adjacent to the old mine. That site was
subsequently washed out, uncovering the remains. They were then reburied at the present site. Many questions remain, and
there is evidently no written records. Why were these individuals buried so far from the old mine site? Who reburied them,
and when? Who were these people? What caused their deaths? Were their relatives advised, and so on. It's truly one of our
desert's mysteries.
