Boston Hill Mining Area By Judy Wuthrich BOSTON HILL HISTORIC MINING AREA AND OPEN SPACE IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTHWESTERN EDGE OF Silver City. More common entrances are on Spring Street, Cooper Street and at the top of Market Street. Miles of trails, from easy to complex, await your hiking or biking experience. This area has been known as Boston Hill since the 1800s because of the Massachusetts and New Mexico Mining Company owning the mining claim. By the 1970s, mining came to a halt in this area, but the remnants of its existence remain. A bequest by Lennie Merle Forward made the purchase of this area possible for the Town of Silver City. Many volunteers have spent hours of labor to make the trails accessible. Dust the cobwebs off your mountain bike or put your hiking boots on, and partake of these great trails with 360 degrees of mountainous views of the Silver City area. Maps are posted at all the entrance signs to guide you along the trails and more historical information on this site.

stop painting your lashes ....tube them!

blinc is the original mascara invented to form tiny water-resistant "tubes" around your lashes rather than painting them like conventional mascaras. Once applied, these beauty tubes bind to your lashes and cannot run, smudge, clump, or flake, even if you cry or rub your eyes.
