Hike Contact Mine Trail, Joshua Tree National Park, California
Contact Mine Trailhead is located off Utah trail near North Entrance Station of Joshua Tree National Park.
Bill McHaney mentioned in 1910 that he and Phil Sullivan built an arrastra near The Palms to work ore from Sullivan's Contact Mine. A June 25, 1941 report of the Devision of Investigations states that the Contact and Contact #2 mining claims had been located July 1, 1923 and the property has been active for several years, and that gold and silve ore was being mined, shipped and milled at a sustantial profit. It looks like it was also operational from 1933-1935, 1940 and in 1953.
