** ADVANCE FOR WEEKEND EDITIONS OCT. 10-11 ** In this Sept. 11, 2009 photo, barbed Wire encloses a closed gold mine in Goldfield, Nev. Goldfield was the last major gold rush in the United States. The mines produced between $80-$100 million during the boom from 1904-1920s. Today there is little mining activity and most of the historic mines are closed off.
