Death Valley - California -
Rhyolite
is a ghost town that once served the community serving the Bullfrog Gold Mining District. Construction in the town site began in 1906 near one of the most promising mines, the Montgomery Shoshone mine. The town quickly grew to about 500 residents. A downturn in the economy nel 1907 lead to the collapse in area mining investiments, and the community vanished by 1911. Rhyolite is located just off Highway 374 about 3 miles west of Beatty Nevada and about two miles east of the one-way Titus Canyon Road.
Construction of the Bottle House began in 1906. It was constructed of nearly 50,000 liquor and beer bottles.
Rhyolite è una città fantasma (che deriva il suo nome da una roccia estrusiva o vulcanica) e che un tempo serviva la Comunità alle dipendenze del Distretto RanaToro per l’Estrazione Mineraria dell'Oro. La costruzione della città incominciò nel 1906, vicino ad una delle miniere più promettenti, la miniera dei Shoshone Montgomery (Shoshone=ManRide=Cavaliere, Montgomery deriva dal francese Montagne di Gomeric, che in tedesco significa forza d’uomo). La città è cresciuta rapidamente fino a 500 residenti. Una diminuzione nell'economia in 1907 condusse al crollo nell’area degli investimenti minerari ed la Comunità sparì nel 1911. Rhyolite è situato appena fuori della Strada Principale 374 circa 5 chilometri ad ovest di Beatty nel Nevada e circa 3 chilometri ad est del Canalone a senso unico di Titus. La costruzione della Casa della Bottiglia incominciò nel 1906. Fu costruita con circa 50.000 bottiglie di liquore e di birra.
