These stone walls are the remains of the Ophir mill, just south of Washoe City between Reno and Carson City on the east side of Highway 395. These ruins are of a building that some say was the assay office and a wall of white granite stone. The town started in 1861, vied to be county seat the following year but was a ghost town some 10 years later.
