Talk:Mineral City, Washington

Page birth and Sources
Hello,

I hope this article meets notability, but given that Galena, Washington and other WA ghost towns have wikipedia pages, I figured this qualified. Espcially given the geographical and historical proximity to Monte Cristo, Washington, which has a lot of local interest.

Sources are alas thin on the ground for Mineral City. Here are some additional sources for future editors:

images from UW collections (unclear on copyright)

backpacker.com

Granite Falls Historical Society <-- Lots of interesting source material here, difficult to navigate

Philip R. Woodhouse - Monte Cristo. Mountaineers Books, 1996 <-- I would like to track down a copy of this at some point.

Thanks to anyone for taking an interest in this page. -- Paulie 27   talk  14:51, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Citations needed
Hello, thank you to the anonymous editors for adding some more details. I do wonder if we can attribute any of them, however.

Who is Theron Ferguson? Is it the man referenced here, in the founding of Snohomish City? Could he be related to Emory C. Ferguson?

Who is Hans Hansen (there are many in the historical record), is there any record of who claimed the so-called "Norwegian Claim"?

Any evidence for the claim of 2 hotels, 2 saloons, and 2 stores?

Thanks! Paulie 27  talk  16:19, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
