About Hillsboro, New Mexico
Hillsboro is an unincorporated community of 140 people in Sierra County, in southwestern New Mexico. In August 1877 two prospectors, Dan Dugan and Dave Stitzel, picked up loose pieces of rock near what became the Opportunity Mine. The rock tested at $160 a ton in gold and silver, and the first house went up that same month. Dugan and Frank Pitcher soon found ore on the Rattlesnake vein, and in November miners found placer gold in the Rattlesnake and Wicks gulches.
The camp grew quickly. By 1880 it held 400 miners and four companies of soldiers, and the population soon reached 700. Miners crushed ore in arrastres right in town, and a 10-stamp mill went up in 1878. Before 1904 the district produced about $6,750,000, and by 1907 Hillsboro had 1,200 people.
“Each miner had a name for the new site, so each wrote his choice on a slip of paper, placing it in a hat. One member drew from the lot and the name Hillsborough was chosen, contracted in later years to Hillsboro.”
- County seat from 1884Hillsboro became the seat of Sierra County in 1884, and a county courthouse was built in 1892. A flood on June 10, 1914, badly damaged many of the town's buildings. The county seat stayed in Hillsboro until 1936, when it moved to Hot Springs, the town now called Truth or Consequences.
- Gold from an old volcanoThe gold around Hillsboro came from the Copper Flat volcano, northeast of town, about 4 miles across. Some 26 major veins spread out from its center like spokes, and placer gold settled in the dry gulches around it. The veins yielded 51,000 ounces of gold and the placers 110,000 ounces.
- Open-pit copper in 1980From 1911 to 1934, Copper Flat's Sternberg Mine turned out 200 tons of copper ore. By 1959 Bear Creek Mining Company had found a mineralized breccia pipe inside the volcano's stock, and Quintana Minerals Corporation began open-pit mining there in 1980, with ore averaging 0.45 per cent copper.
