About Pinos Altos, New Mexico
Pinos Altos is a community of 225 people in Grant County, a few miles north of Silver City. It began as a mining camp in 1860, after three prospectors found gold in the Pinos Altos Mountains. The camp was first called Birchville for one of them, Robert H. Birch, a former outlaw, but it soon took the Spanish name it carries today.
The gold drew so many miners that the town reached about 9,000 people in the 1880s and 1890s, and they cut down the tall trees around it as it grew. In the early 1900s people drifted away until the town was nearly empty. Many of its original buildings survived, and today Pinos Altos is a place of summer homes that welcomes visitors.
“The traditional name of the place among the Mexicans and Indians was Pinos Altos, because of the tall pine trees which covered the nearby mountains.”
- The battle of 1861Apache people opposed the miners who had moved onto their land, and they harassed the camp from the first gold strike on. On September 27, 1861, the Arizona Guards, a Confederate militia company raised in Pinos Altos, fought Apache warriors under Mangas Coloradas and Cochise. The battle didn't end the fighting, which went on for years until the Army built permanent forts nearby, the most important being Fort Bayard, set up a few miles southeast in 1866.
- Roy Bean's Main Street storeIn 1861 Samuel G. Bean and his brother Roy, later famous as Judge Roy Bean, ran a store and saloon on Main Street. They advertised liquor and a billiard table, and out front they showed off Roy's cannon, which had helped drive back an Apache attack on the town.
- County seat in 1869On January 8, 1869, Pinos Altos was named the county seat of Grant County, and the county's offices worked out of a log house. The town's first school came about because Troilous Stephens and his wife gave land for it.
- Hearst's mill and railroadSenator George Hearst put money into several mines here, including the Pacific Mine and the Mina Grande. In 1889 he put up a stamp mill in town, and he incorporated a railroad to carry ore to his smelter in Silver City. The Comanche Mining and Smelting Company finished the 2-foot narrow gauge line in 1906, but copper prices crashed the next year and the railroad shut down.
