The Pinos Altos mining district is located in the Pinos Altos Mountains about 8 mi northeast of Silver City. Placer gold was discovered there in 1860. Later that same year, the Pacific vein was the first lode discovered in the district. Within two years, 30 mines were being worked by 300 men. Mining continued as disruptions, such as the Civil War and plundering by Apaches, would allow. During World War I, Pinos Altos contributed a considerable tonnage of zinc ore containing sphalerite, chalcopyrite, and galena. The Pacific mine was the largest producer in the area having a total production to 1905 of over $1 million. By 1940, roughly 7.5 to 12% of the area's past production value was accounted for by placer gold, and the district had yielded over a total of $8 million worth of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc.
