Death Valley Mine is located within Mojave National Preserve in San Bernardino County, California. It is significant for its association with the development of the mining industry in the east Mojave Desert, and its contribution to the economic growth of the region between the years 1906, when horse-drawn wagons hauled the first shipments of ore from the mining property to the railroad at Cima where it was shipped to the smelter in Needles, California, and 1976, when exploratory operations ceased on the original Dolly Varden claims. In particular, the mining camp associated with the Death Valley Mine property exemplifies the type of early mining community that formed as a result of sustained mining activity in the area. The Death Valley Mine Historic District may also contain potential information regarding mining in the Mojave Desert and the lives of the miners who lived and worked at the property.
