(March, 1907) Copper was one thing, but silver was quite definitely another, and the Willow Creek rush began all over again. Within a week after the strike on the Baltic was announced, the Bullfrog Miner proclaimed that a "Wild Rush Is On to Willow Creek. Numerous new locations were made and several more silver strikes announced, and another wave of prospectors rolled over the country, looking for the silver indications which had previously been ignored in the initial rush for copper ground. The Greenwater Copperhead Company was formed, with silver-lead indications on its claims, and numerous smaller silver mines were opened....

...The new rush also caused the older copper companies of the district to re-evaluate their holdings, and new assays were run on their ore, looking for indications of silver or gold which had been ignored before. By the end of May, with both the new and old companies working, the Willow Creek District looked extremely prosperous and full of promise for the future. The Greenwater Baltic, said the Bullfrog Miner, was the best property in the area, and had gold and silver on its claims, in addition to copper. The Nevada Greenwater looked second best, but its shaft was only down to twenty-seven feet below ground. In addition, the Greenwater Arcturus, the Greenwater Clinton, and the Greenwater Copperhead were all working and looking good....

....If nothing else, Willow Creek was definitely an up and down mining area. At the same time that the new gold and silver finds were causing a new rush to the territory, some of the older copper mines were beginning to close down, since the rich surface copper streaks pinched out with depth, just as they did at Greenwater. Thus, the Greenwater Pasadena Copper Mining Company ceased work in late May and the Greenwater Copperhead Company in early June (1907).
Latschar, 1981
