Eagle Mountain California
The history of the Eagle Mountain in California, gold mines and the iron ore mine run by Kaiser Steel. Now a ghost town and maybe much more.

Whom did Kaiser buy the land from?
Do you mind linking where you got the footage of the riot
— Well written. Thank you.
Awesome video, I never knew about all the stuff that I saw on the video. Very educational and amazing things that are happening today with the old iron company, the worst of it all is there is no more US steel company’s, the steel we get from other countries is weaker than the US steel. It’s just not as strong as it used to be.
I hope everyone has a awesome blessed day.
And Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year.
California has 115,491 homeless so
1) gather them
2) separate them into 3 camps
3) give them their own tiny rural town
4) give them food (soup kitchen), shelter (tiny house), and healthcare
5) let distance and police keep city drug dealers away
Maybe people will live there again some day
Billions of dollars sent to ukraine could turn this place into resort. We have so many homeless families in Cali.
I lived here from 1978 to 1983. Graduated from high school there. Thank you for posting this! I am glad that you did your research – I have seen other videos with crazy theories and far out conclusions based on nothing but "assumptions". Your video is well thought out, and accurate. No zombies were found, I assume… 😉 Even though we pretty much all scattered in the 80’s, we still have an active virtual "community" on Facebook, so if you have any questions, drop by and ask!
Went to school about 1946.Mrs Fields was my teacher.
Thank You for making this video. Found it very interesting
My husband worked as a security guard out at eagle mountain several years ago and he didn’t like it he said at night it was creepy out there and you could hear lots of wild animals and strange noises ,,he stayed close to the patrol car ,,and he kinda got the Willy’s as it,s a no man’s land kinda place very desolate ,,he got transferred to a better place
This i think make a good tourist destination of long ago mining history. The place did good for what 35 or 40 years.

Could put the some of the inland empiire’s homeless to work rehabbing the houses and inhabitating the town, better than living in a tent on a sidewalk under a freeway overpass and bathing in the restrooms at burger king.
Are those box-like metal structures on top of the houses air conditioners?
Your history research is incredible. I especially loved seeing that old footage.
Carl Shorter’s dad ….Was a blaster there back in the day. Bob I think. Lost some of his leg on a blast. He still kept on working.

Beautiful work! I look forward to all of your postings👍
Ur finds are awesome never knew these spots existed!
Probably the most recent ghost town in America. Found film 🎥 was great 👍.
This place are look a like Bad Day at Black Rock | 1955
Writer Millard Kaufman stopped for gas in the tiny town of ‘Black Rock’, Arizona, and a new title was born. .
Wow! I wish I could go to that town. It looks like it was quite large! Great video.!
Like 100s of mines in America, mines closed during that era because the cost of fuel no longer allowed the mines to be profitable.
I just watched an episode of "Roadkill" on the "Motor Trend Channel". The guys raced some junkers through the streets of this little town. Unfortunately, the film crew worked late, a few zombies came out and chased the crew away.
I use to work there in 1975
Very telling in some respects about the decadence of the U.S. Steel mill closes, mine closes and then build a prison. I wonder if there is a relationship!!! Actually I also remember the talk about KKK activity in the Fontana and surrounding area when they were closing the steel mill. Don´t know how much longer the U.S. will last.
Are the rails in desert center still?
I lived there from 1965 to 1972,,, My dad drove one of those huge dump trucks.. my uncle was a manager for Kaiser Steel at the mine… I loved it there… fond memories
Fascinating as I visited Eagle Mountain from Yucaipa, CA in the late 1960’s with my family who were friends with a family whose father worked at Eagle Mountain. We collected some dark desert rocks in the area for use by my father in construction of a home in Yucaipa. I have vague memories of the huge ore hauling trucks and a monster crusher machine.
Sounds like this land might be cursed 🤔
I hope they build that perpetual-motion water pump thing!
