Places to stay in Mina, Nevada
Mina is a small community in Mineral County in west-central Nevada on U. S. Route 95 at an elevation of 4,560 feet. The zip code is 89422, and the area code is 775. Mina was founded as a railroad town in 1905 and was named for Ferminia Sarras, a large landowner and famed prospector known as the 'Copper Queen. ' The Nevada & California Railway, a division of Southern Pacific Railroad, had a station in the town. The railroad is long gone, but at one time a local shuttle called the "Slim Princess" allowed native Americans to ride for free on top of the railcars, and passengers and crew would shoot wild game such as jack rabbits, ducks and sage hens from the open windows. The train moved so slowly that hunters had time to retrieve their game and hop back on board. Places to eat in the region include Desert Lobster, and S'socorro's Burger Hut.
If you are travelling in the area, Mina is located close to Mud Spring, Dunlap Canyon, Martin Spring, Mount Diablo Reduction Works (historical) and Kope Scheelite Mine.
