Summary

[edit]
Description
English: (1 in a multiple picture set)

This town is close by Tropico Mine, and was founded by the Tropico's owner, Ezra Hamilton. There was a natural spring there and so the spot had been attracting people for centuries - Indians, explorers. Spanish priests, prospectors and horse thieves.

Hamilton, using some of his gold wealth, built it into a thriving resort town boasting a hotel, a restaurant, a post office, a trading post, five stone reservoirs and a swimming pool. The town boasted of flush toilets and electricity. One building was used exclusively for making ice and growing silkworms.
