Hayden Hill’s second largest producing mine is an interesting one. In its first four years, it had yielded some $400,000 in gold. Then the mine struggled encountering china clay deposits. The mine persevered over the years and in the early 1920s had a revival of sorts.  In all, it produced some $600,000 in bullion, about half of the Hill’s largest producer, the Golden Eagle Mine.

By 1930 the Juniper Mine had been abandoned. The building remained intact until 1956 when it was struck by lightning and burned down.
