Summary
| Description |
English: w:South Pass City, Wyoming. South Pass is a gradual elevation, gently rolling and table-like, and one can pass the line of separation between the waters of the two oceans without observing it. In 1867 gold was discovered in richly paying quantities, and caused a great "stampede" or flocking together of all the wandering miners from over the whole country. Under this influx of population these two "cities" South Pass City and Atlantic City sprang up and were for a time lively, bustling towns. The gold is found both in quartz and placers, and is still mined with good profit. South Pass City has an elevation above the sea of 7,857 feet, and Atlantic City 7,665 feet. w:Fremont County, Wyoming. 1870. |
