Lane City, originally called Mineral City (1869-1876), was settled in 1869 and had a population of 600 people by 1872. It was the first mining camp in the Robinson District. The site boasted a ten stamp mill, express office, mercantile stores, post office, six saloons, hotels, four boarding houses,restaurants, livery stables and a blacksmith shop. the Ragsdale Stage Station was located here. Later the town was renamed for Charles D. Lane who purchased the Chainman Mine and Mill in 1896.

Today little remains of Lane City except for a picturesque abandoned school house. The existing remains of buildings and foundations were probably built after 1900. However, you have to wade through chest high sagebrush to photograph most of the structures.

Lane City is five miles west of Ely, Nevada alongside Hwy. 50 (the loneliest highway in the U.S.) and easy to access.

I was in Ely this summer. I went north looking for ghost towns and found none. I should have gone west! Maybe next year.
