Abstract

"Few of those persons from the valley aho have built summer homes and still fewer of those others who visit Mineral King annually know that the place once was the center of the gold rush and that many fortunes were lost in seeking the precious metal. Sixty miles east of Visalia, at the source of the Kaweah river, is situated this beautiful section. Here, at an altitude of 8000 feet, the summer climate is cool and invigorating, and this, together with the numerous nearby scenic attractions, the abundant wild feed, the good fishing, has caused it to become a resort section visited in the summer by multitudes from throughout the nation."
