Geocache Description:

In 1896 Hedges had 3000 residents with a store, hospital, several bordellos, casino and 4 saloons along Stingaree Gulch. In 1862 a wandering mule from a wagon train was found in the gulch with a gold nugget just lying there. In 1910 TUMCO (an acronym for The United Mine Company) took over the area which had a 40 stamp mill. TUMCO put in 60 more stamps and with not enough ore and the added expense, they went broke in 1916. Equipment was sold for junk and that was it.

.30 mile walk from parking area.
