NEWARK - (1867-ca 1910) T19N R56E SW1/4 Section
4. Newark was located by Stephen and John Beard of
Austin. They had discovered silver on the east flank of the Diamond
Mountains in 1866. The Centenary Co., owned by members of the
Methodist Church, set up a 20-stamp mill. The profits from this mill
were used to build a new church in Austin. Limited
mining activity took place over the years due to shallow ore
deposits. A mill foundation remains.
