Prospectors Oran Booth and Bill Keys were an active part of desert gold mining in the 1900's. Oran Booth arrived in 1928 and filed a claim on the site that became the Wall Street Mill, prospected in Gold Park, and later worked the Paymaster Mine, a gift from his friend Keys. In 1933, he filed on the 80-acre homestead pictured in this mural. Bill Keys, who arrived in 1910, established more than 30 mining claims in the area that is now Joshua Tree National Park.
