Founded in the late 1860s. In 1870 a twenty stamp mill was completed with the stack and foundations still intact today. By 1871 the population was well over 100 with a post office, stores, saloons and all the usual old west establishments. The post office close and Troy was empty by 1913. But sporadic mining and occupation has occurred off and on several times in the last 100 years.

Seems like washouts are just a way of being out there. That one north of Pritchards seems like it gets fixed every two or three years only to be washed out again the following year.

Last September we couldn't get up to Treasure City from Hamilton because of the roads being washed out. Hopefully there has been some repairs made.
