A view from 1939:

BASIN, (5,306 alt., 250 pop.), a typical mining camp, booms or dozes as the price of metal determines. Most of the buildings are frame, with the second-story false fronts common in nineteenth century camps; some are squalid shacks. Across Boulder River is the Jib Mine, a sensational gold producer in the 1920's.
