Sanger |
The town as well as the mine was named Sanger in 1872 but they had several other names during the years before that. The Sanger post office opened in 1887. What the miners did for mail distribution for fifteen years remains a mystery.
The Sanger mine was the largest gold producer in the area.
Located on the west side of Eagle Creek, it had a long period of activity up to the turn of the century. A large and imposing log cabin still stands on the flat below the mine and could have served as a hotel at one time.
Located in Baker County south of Highway 86.
