I’ve been trying to remember everything that happened this week. I think just about everything possible happened, but one of the good things that happened was the food distribution on Friday night was a very successful evening.
The RSVP open house on Saturday was a success with a large turnout we even have the EMTs from White Pine County and the Lackawana fire trucks.

How white pine got its name
By Donna Frederick
White Pine Mining district was located in Lander County, with Austin as the county seat. The distance to Austin was 120 miles and the citizens of the district did not want to travel that far to the county seat. Citizen groups met in Silver Springs (Shermantown), Treasure City and Hamilton to petition the state legislator for a separate county organization. Committees were chosen from each city to prepare the bill for the new county. It was assumed that the legislature would be governed by the wishes of the citizens of the three principal towns in a proposed new county. Although all were in favor of the organization to have a new county, the name of the county and the location of the county seat created much discussion. Some felt the name White Pine seemed to be the most appropriate as the county name, as White Pine was well known abroad. Others favored the name Ruby, because that was the name of the old settlement valley inside of the proposed new county and was located along the route of the Pacific Railroad. The name White Pine was chosen for the name of the new county and Hamilton was appointed the county seat.
White Pine news, March 6, 1869 wrote, “the bill creating the county of White Pine has become a law without the approval of the governor.” He had retained it over the five day limit of the Constitution. The governor appointed the first County officers on April 1, 1869.
Thank you Donna
