 L.S. Sandy Bowers and his pyschic wife, Eilley Orrum, earned a fortune
in their gold mine near Gold Hill, Nevada. They were Nevada's first
Comstock millionaires. With their wealth they built a mansion in 1864
then traveled the world to furnish it. The mansion was restored in
1967, approximately 103 years later and to this day is one of the most
impressive restored homes in Nevada. Guided tours are available. Call (702) 849-0201 for information. Photographs and content copyright ©2002 RM & Bonanza: Scenery of the Ponderosa, |
