Spring Mountain Ranch - In 1876 James B. Wilson and George Anderson, acquired the property and named it Sand Stone Ranch. Wilson remained until his death in 1906 while Anderson left in the early 1880's and never returned. Anderson's two half-Paiute boys remained on the ranch, whom Wilson raised. The two boys, Jim Wilson, Jr. and Tweed, his half brother, inherited the ranch in 1906 after Jim Wilson, Sr. died. They operated the cattle ranch together for many years, but after mortgaging it in 1919 they were unable to pay off the debt.
