The name "Mazuma" is derived from a Yiddish slang word for money: m'zumon.[3] Other sources indicate that m'zumon means "the ready necessary".[4] Just after 5pm on July 12, 1912, a {{convert|10|ft|adj=on}} wall of water was observed upstream from Mazuma at the Seven Troughs Canyon. The Seven Troughs Cyanide Plant was destroyed, releasing dozens of gallons of cyanide into the flood. A phone call was made, but due to the electrified atmosphere, the only word that could be heard at Mazuma was "water." The warning was not received in time, the {{convert|20|ft|adj=on}} high, {{convert|150|ft|adj=on}} wide flash flood hit Mazuma and killed almost a tenth of the population. Over the following weeks, relief efforts included visits by doctors and nurses from as far as Reno. A statewide relief fund was set up.[5] In addition, a relief fund was set up by the San Francisco Examiner, where William Randolph Hearst personally donated $100.[6] Postmistress Maude Ruddell was killed in the flood when the post office collapsed on her. The post office formally moved from Mazuma to Seven Troughs on November 30, 1912. The Mazuma Hills Mill,[7] located upstream of Mazuma, burned down 13 days after the flood,[6] though the Darby Mill[8] located southwest of Mazuma, operated from 1909 until it was dismantled in 1918.[9] References1. ^{{cite news |author = |title = Mazuma Devastated by Cloud Burst |url = http://www.nevadapress.com/nevadapress.com/150_files/Lovelock07191912Mazuma%20flood.pdf |newspaper = Seven Troughs and Lovelock Review-Miner |location = Lovelock, Nevada |date = 12 July 1912 |accessdate = 2 Mar 2014}}{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} {{Pershing County, Nevada}}2. ^{{cite book| last = Tingley| first = Icyl C.| editor1-last = Paher| editor1-first = Stanley W.| year = 1976| chapter = Cloudburst at Seven Troughs| pages = 158-159| title = Nevada Official Bicentennial Book| location = Las Vegas| publisher = Nevada Publications| url = https://archive.org/stream/nevadaofficialbi00paher| access-date = 27 Jul 2018}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite gnis| id = 850474| name = Mazuma (historical)| accessdate = 2 Mar 2014| entrydate = 1 Feb 1990}} 4. ^.{{cite book|last = Carlson|first = Helen S.|year = 1974|title = Nevada Place Names: A Geographical Dictionary|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=BixwbIM7ZvAC&lpg=PP1&dq=nevada%20place%20names&pg=PA165#v=onepage&q=mazuma&f=false|page = 165|publisher = University of Nevada Press|isbn= 9780874170948|accessdate = 2 Mar 2014 }} 5. ^{{cite journal|last = Earl|first = Philip I.|title = Requiem for a Gullywasher: The Seven Troughs-Mazuma Flood of July 18, 1912, and its Aftermath |date = Spring–Summer 1982|journal = Humboldt Historian|url = http://humboldtmuseum.org/humboldt-historian/product/15-requiem-for-a-gullywasher-the-seven-troughs-mazuma-flood-of-july-18-1912-and-its-aftermath|accessdate= 2 Mar 2014}} 6. ^1 {{cite journal |last = Brown |first = Matthew B. |date = July–August 2012 |title = Mazuma Wiped Out |url = http://www.nevadamagazine.com/issues/read/mazuma_wiped_out/ |journal = Nevada Magazine |accessdate = 2 Mar 2014 |deadurl = yes |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20130827150701/http://nevadamagazine.com/issues/read/mazuma_wiped_out/ |archivedate = 2013-08-27 |df = }} 7. ^{{cite gnis| id = 852968| name = Mazuma Hills Mill (Historical)| accessdate = 2 Mar 2014}} 8. ^{{cite gnis| id = 846221| name = Darby Mill (Historical)| accessdate = 23 Dec 2014}} 9. ^{{cite book| last=Lincoln| first=Francis Church| title=Mining Districts and Mineral Resources of Nevada| page=216| year=1923| publisher=Nevada Newsletter Publishing Co.| location=Verdi, NV| url=http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015011432807;view=1up;seq=230| accessdate = 23 Dec 2014}} 4 : Ghost towns in Pershing County, Nevada|Populated places established in 1907|1907 establishments in Nevada|1907 natural disasters in the United States |
