The greenhorns staked their claim, and the old-timers christened it “The Greenhorn Mine.” It’s a pretty legend, but prob- ably completely made-up. For- mer Greenhorn Mayor Miles F. Potter — the man who brought the town back to life, reactivated the city charter and restored its rotting water system in 1971 — says it was named after a nearby promontory called “The Green Horn.” Potter and several other prop- erty owners revived the town to get protection from land speculators, who were show- ing some interest in turning the picturesque and fairly acces- sible ghost town into a tourist attraction ‘with gaudy doughnut shops and hamburger stands.’ At that time, the town had been dead since the early 1920s. Like so many gold-mining boomtowns, it fl ourished when the mines did — peaking at a seasonal population of 500 or so in the mid-1910s, and providing mail service to another 1,500 weather forecast FRIDAY June 5 and did not resurface.

Today, Greenhorn is a sea- sonal getaway spot for folks who like to spend summers in a semi-primitive wilderness com- munity, hunting and fi shing, re- laxing and reading. There is no electrical or sewer service, but there is cell phone service and even a fi ber-optic telecom line. During the summer, the popula- tion of the little city — with its two remaining habitable build- ings — never gets much above a dozen and a half. Its mayor and city offi cials all live elsewhere most of each year. As for the stolen jail, when it was found parked at the court- house in Canyon City, it was promptly hauled to the Grant County Historical Museum, where it today serves as an ex- hibit. This sticks in the craw of some Greenhorn people, par- ticularly because Greenhorn is not even in Grant County. Sev- eral years ago, a group of them sued to get the building back. Nothing came of this, however, and the jail remains today on the grounds of the museum — along with the cabin formerly occu- pied by Joaquin Miller during his residence in Canyon City.
