Many Chinese men who had been employed by the Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR) relocate to the town of Tusacaror, Nevada, and begin placer mining.

Tuscarora had been founded in Elko County after an expedition by trader William Heath discovered gold.

As miners flocked to the town in 1867-70, a fort had been built to offer protection from native raids and a water ditch had been created to supply the town with water.
