When I had researched about Ruby Hill, Nevada, I had learned that much of the town had been washed away by a flood in 1910. What was interesting to find, when I did a population study of the censuses for Ruby Hill, was that in 1920 there were still miners living in the town. I had thought that the town had become a ghost town immediately after the terrible storm in June of 1910. On the 1920 census there was a population of 49, but by 1930 the population was down to zero, and no census was taken for Ruby Hill.
