		The remains of a variety of structures left over from the 135 years of mining activity, including housing for the up to 1,800 miners, are scattered about the park, with the biggest concentration at what was known as English Camp, established by Cornish miners in the 1860s.
		Some structures were built later by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and there is a memorial of the Civilian Conservation Corps firefighters that were stationed there for a time.

	Civilian Conservation Corps - Definition, explanation
		The CCC was an interdepartmental work and relief program that sent young, unemployed men from the cities to work on conservation projects in rural areas at a dollar a day.
		The CCC was a relief agency formed because of the economic realities of the Great Depression, but also came to be seen as a rite of passage by its enrollees, and became one of the most popular New Deal programs among the public at large.
		After the CCC disbanded, the federal agencies responsible for public lands administration went on to organize their own seasonal fire crews, roughly modeled after the CCC, which filled the firefighting role formerly filled by the CCC and provided the same sort of outdoor work experience to young people.

		The CCC was part of Roosevelt's "war" to defeat the Great Depression, which had left 25 percent of the workforce idle.
		And CCC advocates suffused publicity with military language: Enlisting the unemployed to restore the nation's over-harvested forests and badly eroded streams was pronounced "the Moral Equivalent of War." It also employed World War I veterans; a total of 213,000 middle-aged former servicemen were part of the CCC.
		The CCC was the nation's first major and long-term effort to apply lessons learned from war-time mobilization to put the unemployed to work.

	Report on The Civilian Conservation Corps
		In order to place before the President a detailed account of the development of the CCC program, as well as to set forth the major results of the work, each of the co-operating departments recently prepared a narrative report outlining the part each has taken and is taking in the conservation corps work.
		The Civilian Conservation Corps is described by the Labor Department as "the most beneficial and constructive movement for the welfare of youth of these times." It has given foresters -- both federal and state -- their greatest conservation opportunity in a generation.
		The CCC program has been and is contributing to national health through building up the physical condition of enrollees, through teaching hundreds of thousands of young men new health habits and sanitation methods and through the development of new recreational areas for millions of Americans.

	Prologue: Fall 2006: Vol. 38, No.3 - Into the Woods: The First Year of the Civilian Conservation Corps
		More than any other New Deal program, the CCC was Roosevelt's brainchild and often referred to as his "pet." He had a long-standing interest in conservation, and in a 1931 speech he had articulated the conservationist critique that had been animating the American movement for a half century.
		As the CCC continued to adjust its various camp personnel, one group of the unemployed notably missing was, of course, women.
		Very early on in the preparations for the CCC camps, she suggested that some of the estimated 200,000 homeless women in the country could be put to work in forest tree nurseries, perhaps an unconsciously sexist idea, perhaps shrewdly deliberate on her part.

		By the time the CCC boys were finished working eight years later, under the supervision of the National Park Service (NPS) and the United States Army, they had built the present-day road systems, shelters, latrines, visitor amenities, and trail systems or major public access areas that still remain or are used in different ways today.
		CCC boys were paid $30 a month and $25 was automatically sent home to family members or guardians for their support.

		From the initial crop of 250,000 boys the CCC grew to nearly 500,000 in 1936 when the number was to be reduced to 300,000 in an effort to balance the budget during an election year.
