Ophir Creek (Lake Washoe) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ophir Creek (Lake Washoe)
Ophir Creek is a eastward-flowing stream originating in Tahoe Meadows just south of Tamarack Peak and southeast of Mount Rose Summit, a pass on Nevada State Highway 431. Ophir Creek flows to Washoe Lake in Washoe County in western Nevada, shortly after passing under U.S. Route 395.〔 ==History== Ophir Creek is named for the 1853 discovery of the Comstock Ophir bonanza, a major silver discovery. Ophir was classically a wealthy region described in the Bible, from where King Solomon received tribute of gold, silver, and other precious items. To reduce the silver metal from the ore from the Comstock Ophir mine, the Ophir Mining Company erected the Ophir Mill in 1861 on Washoe Lake's (what was then Washoe Marsh) west shore. A historic marker just north of Ophir Creek on U.S. Route 395 marks its location.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Daughters of the American Revolution, Nevada Sagebrush Chapter )〕 Upper and Lower Price Lakes were named for W. E. Price, a sawmill operator and assemblyman for Washoe County in 1873.〔 A 1983 landslide from aptly named Slide Mountain abruptly filled Lower Price Lake.〔
