Morris Camp dates back to 1915 when silver was first discovered here.  The discovery of scheelite and tungsten brought greater life to this mine during World War 1.   50 men worked this area in the mid 1930s.  By 1955 all mining in the canyon had ceased.

lots of hiking here
Several Buildings had good Roofs

probably true
Did this Building really shelter 9 miners?
