San Antonio Mine
Located just east of SC176, the discovery of gold in 1887 brought a renewal of mining activity to the Kelso Valley area. A small, two-stamp mill was located in the wash one mile east of the mine. This, and other mines in the area, became inactive or were abandoned by the mid-1930s. Concrete slabs of original structures are still visible. Be careful near open mine shafts.
Stay Out and Stay Alive.
You can find this discovery point via GPS at N35.4010, W118.0861, or in section H-7 with the Jawbone Canyon OHV Map, Ed. 14.1.
