Red Rover Mine
Acton, California

Henry T. Gage, Governor of California from 1899 to 1903 and a political ally of Republican President Teddy Roosevelt, owned some of the most productive gold mines in the Santa Clarita Valley. Among them was the Red Rover Mine, located in Soledad Canyon near Acton. The Red Rover's mill, assay office, boarding house and a portion of the cyanide leaching plant are seen in this 1911 photograph. An original caption identifies the young man in the foreground as Paris Brough, son of mine superintendent Ed Brough.
