 In 1869 copper was discovered up in White Cloud Canyon within the Stillwater Mountain Range. This led to a mining camp which had a store, saloon and around 40 miners. The camp would eventually transition into a small town which was platted at the mouth of canyon named after it which was called White Cloud City. The problem is it never grew really into a city as a matter in fact it never really grew at all. However, in 1893 a copper smelter was built here so that the ore could be processed then exported.

It really was a Major B.B. Bee and a Frederick Smith that discovered this mining district in 1868 but did not organize it till 1869. I read that the Paiute Indians inhabited the area where the town of Today's Stillwater Nevada has transitioned to Fallon which is one of the largest towns in Northern Nevada. The natives occupied this region of Nevada because it was abundant with wildlife but also wetlands found throughout the Carson Sink which is a massive expanse surrounded by various mountain ranges including the Stillwater Range. I believe that it took time to organize the district and camp due to hostility from the local natives therefore both of the men would return. However it would be John C. Fall from nearby Unionville Nevada that actually did some major mining in the early 1870's.

The town lasted till about 1907 or should I say dwindled to about then until that year the Nevada United Mining Company enlarged its mining operation and the named the town instead Coppereid. It was built at the same location of the original mining camp of White Cloud City. So from about 1907 till 1912 Coppereid flourished as it had a boarding house, saloons, post office, commissary and stores. But when the ore had ran out by 1912 everyone left leaving it it ruins. Despite the fact that most of the miners had left the post office actually stayed open till about June of 1914.

John Reid was somewhat a well known prospector especially in the earlier part of the twentieth century. I believe this is how Coppereid had gotten its name from the owner of the United Mining Company. Coppereid was split into two separate sites upper and lower town. Their are supposedly remains of wooden miner cabins, a stove and some mines in the upper part of the canyon. While the mouth of the canyon today contain remnants of three stone buildings in ruins and possibly the copper smelter. Believe me not much remains and while I climbed the cliffs deep into the canyon I never came across the upper part of town. I know it exist because we have seen photos but White Cloud Canyon is vast surrounded by high cliffs, trees, creek that runs through it and allot of foliage concealing what once was.

At one time their use to be a road that you could take to the upper part of town but today its merely a waterfall caused by water running out from one of the mines since the 1950's. I read there is a road that goes past White Cloud Canyon that you can turn off on and into Grimes Canyon where you can access upper Coppereid for those who have an interest in seeing more of the this ghost town for themselves. While White Cloud City at the mouth of the canyon is very arid and desert the upper portion of town has a small pond, grass and trees. Two different worlds but all part of the same mining district which makes it all the more intriguing.

Not to far away from White Cloud City just south of it is Shady Run which was rather an industrial little mining camp that did allot of various mining. While copper was mainly mined in the area so was gold and silver also. I made sure to at least drive up to Shady Run to hike around a little and its very evident that many of the hillsides had been mined here. I also found out that in 1898 some iron was mined in the area. But despite all the mining claims White Cloud City never was an actual city and the population never really took off like many of the other boom towns in the area such as Dixie Valley, Stillwater, Unionville, La Plata, Rochester, Star City, Humboldt City, Mountain Well or Fairview which today are nearly all nonexistent or in some cases semi ghost towns.

There was allot of talk of possibly building a railroad spur from Parran Nevada to White Cloud City but it was just that talk. Despite the fact that a major corporation had a franchise for a line and nearby Shady Run had extensive mining the railroad spur never came to be. Maybe if a railroad had been built it would have brought in more miners and business. It would have also would have been a great way to ship smelted copper via railroad rather then using an eight horse team wagon which ran from Coppereid to Lovelock Nevada. The railroad was contemplated though. As a matter in fact the fort mile railroad would be projected to run from Hazen or Parran. In 1913 the Nevada State Legislature granted Reid and his heirs the right of way for the railroad. But by that time ore was exhausted and people begin to leave the area. Since their was no railroad in the region most of the miners took advantage of the stage routes and often would stop at Middlegate Station before heading up to White Cloud City.

As good as it had gotten Coppereid had a post office but it did not have a newspaper or many of the businesses that other nearby towns offered its citizens. Life had to be boring up here while some miners probably hunted antelope, jack rabbits and perhaps elk others probably found that living here was rather difficult. You did not have allot of stores, restaurants and much of the livestock or food that was imported came from nearby Dixie Valley Nevada. Other mines did spring up in the area but as Fallon grew so did its population where many of the miners ended up relocating too.

The Nevada United Mining Company under Reid had at one time 33 patented claims. He was actually born in 1871 in the town of Unionville Nevada a semi-ghost town today that we have done some research at. It actually was where Mark Twain tried a hand at mining but found it to be rather difficult work that offered very little profit. John T. Reid became a mining engineer at the young age of 25 years old. In 1896 Reid surveyed the Tintic Mining Distric in Utah for the Nevada United Mining Company which brought in allot of revenue. As a matter in fact Reid received a lifetime annuity from Oliver G. Jennings a nephew of John D. Rockefeller due to Reids successful engineering project he worked on during his time up there.

I am not sure when or how but in the early 1900's Reid found the remains of multiple bodies with rifles, pipes and shoes. In 1941 the Nevada Historical Society determined that the bones were that of three Paiute Indians before 1840. These natives were probably some of the first within the tribe to have ever encountered or trade with European explorers that crossed Nevada to plat the mountains and perhaps did a little hunting maybe trapping along the way. As the pipes, rifles and shoes probably came from an encounter with white men in the Lovelock area. Some of those men may have been some of the first to hear stories and perhaps learn about the Cave Of The Red Haired Giants. The giants actually would have roamed as far as White Cloud Canyon which was 30 miles to the south in search of food and may have even traveled via canoe back when the Carson Sink was a sea.

Reid's company was about to crosscut a cooper ledge at the time he was the general manager so he announced that once the vein was in full productivity so would his railroad. At the time Reid was mining copper in nearby Shady Run Canyon at the Shady Run Mine. So I opened up on our site a special section so you can kind of see what Shady Run Canyon was like and along with that some of the views from it. Shady Run and White Cloud Canyon were both fairly close to one another the issue was for Reid is where his railroad was going to stop at. While I read that the railroad was given a right of way by the Nevada Legislature in 1913 other sources said 1917. What I am trying to figure out is why after the town of Coppereid died was John Reid given permission to build a spur? To build a railroad to a ghost town would have been a waste of time and money.

Also another fast fact that Reid's company was a closed corporation so if you wanted to live in this town you had to be invited. Most of the miners lived at the boarding house only some of them had their own homes. I think this probably lead to the towns demise can you imagine having to receive an invite to visit a town? build a business? or even work here? Unlike most towns where someone could walk in town raise there hand up and offer to mine the mines this was not the case when it came to the Nevada United Mining Company. They owned the town and the canyons they mined with Reid also being its postmaster for a short time. Do not get me wrong Reid was a good man he took an interest in the welfare of the local Paiute Indians. He even wrote a letter to Senator Nixon at the time along with Reverend Mark White about giving the Paiute Indians in the area a permanent home near Lovelock Nevada. Perhaps he felt guilt considering that the natives were chased out of White Cloud Canyon for the sole purpose for it to be mined which belonged to them for thousands of years.

When Reid passed away in 1941 he left a large collection of materials in relation to the Indians in the Lovelock area of Nevada. Most of them were donated to the Nevada Historical Society. He took a huge interest in Indian culture I mean really like I said earlier in my prologue their was not allot to do and history tells us that Reid did allot of mining yes but also worked just as hard studying Native American Culture and voicing concerns for those that still resided in the area. Reid realized that it was not right that the Indians were always being moved around or losing there homes. He was a good man and brilliant at a young age he just could not grow his town as he had hoped for.

I love the Stillwater Mountains not only do they harbor ghost towns but when you think about this range you also connect it with what the wild west is about. Do you know what that is? Pretty sunsets, wild mustangs, desertscapes, cattle roaming on the range and endless views. Not much remains today of this ghost town but enough to know that at one time their was a mining camp here. Besides some bed springs and stone ruins a steam boiler sits off in the desert brush rusting away. The town is in peril and it wont last forever so I am glad to have gotten to see it. For my own self I ended up climbing up a cliff about half way up into the canyon which led to a very high peak above the Carson Sink to get some of the photos that you see in our galleries. Its kind of hard to believe at one time an entire town was at the mouth of the canyon. Maybe if the railroad came to be and the ore was not exhausted White Cloud City would have been an actual city today! Perhaps we will never know for sure as with any case some towns in Nevada went boom others went bust!
