Five large water ditches passed through the town serving the mining companies which had to cease operations in 1882 when state law was passed prohibiting hydraulic mining.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A native of Massachusetts who was a former teacher, Hollenbeck came to California on a steamship in 1854, landing in San Francisco before making his way into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. He prospected in Mountain Springs, which already was a rough and raucous mining camp, before moving on to Nevada County.
Hollenbeck returned to Mountain Springs 18 months later, intent on turning it into a civilized city. He laid out the streets of town, erected a hotel and lobbied successfully for a post office. In 1862, the name of the prospering city was changed to Gold Run, in honor of the riches reportedly running from its streams.
