Several buildings still stand from the mine’s boom days around 1906. One of the gold mine’s founders, Pete Aguereberry, lived in these old shacks. He partnered with a prospector, Shorty Harris, and the two planned to found a town named Harrisberry. Later, as the tale goes, Shorty tried to take credit for the claim, and renamed the town Harrisburg. But when the mine’s output decreased, Shorty left. Pete remained, and worked the mine for some 40 years.
