1927 Nevada mining town newsreel

[Ray Dunakin]

Here's a short, silent newsreel from 1927, which shows the "booming" new town of Gilbert, NV and some of the mining operations. These scenes are especially interesting to me because I've been to the site of this former town a couple times on my trips, most recently in 2010.

Excellent views of how it all looked in action.
