Here's a short, silent newsreel from 1927, which shows the "booming" new town of Gilbert, NV and some of the mining operations. These scenes are especially interesting to me because I've been to the site of this former town a couple times on my trips, most recently in 2010.

Here are my pics of the Gilbert townsite and mine ruins:

Excellent views of how it all looked in action.
