Over 400 pieces. C1930's.

The gold mining district at Cornucopia was in Baker County, some 50 miles east of Baker City in the Wallowa Mountains. Baker County had teemed with miners in the 1860s, and a new series of excitements followed the arrival of the railroad in 1884. The lode mining of the 1880s required drilling and blasting to remove gold-bearing ore, and pulverizing the ore in stamp mills. Cornucopia's most prosperous years came long after the initial discoveries, during the 1920s and 1930s. These artifacts are from those most prosperous years! OR
