Founded in 1903, it had a population of 440 at the 2010 census.[1] Ruth was built as a company town for the adjacent Robinson Mine, a large open-pit copper mine, which is still in operation as of 2018. HistoryRuth began as a settlement for workers of the White Pine Copper Company in 1903. It derived its name from the Ruth mining claim which was named for Ruth McDonald, daughter of the original owner of the mining claim.[2] With the opening Nevada Northern Railway in the year 1906 copper production began to boom. In 1905, Daniel C. Jackling "evaluated a low-grade copper prospect", which he turned into "an impressive open-pit and satellite cave (the Veteran Mine)." Jackling went on to become president of the Nevada Consolidated Copper Company.[3] By 1910 the settlement was already established a small distance from the first site. Ruth was a company town for the Nevada Consolidated Copper Company: the houses belonged to the mine and the city and were administered by them. Saloons and bordellos were not permitted in the company town but were plentiful in the neighboring community of Riepetown. A mine explosion in Ruth on July 12, 1912, killed ten people.[4] In 1919 Ruth was the site of a labor dispute when 150 copper miners walked out demanding higher wages. Although some claimed the strike was instigated by the Industrial Workers of the World the leaders were actually from the Western Federation of Miners.[4] At the beginning of the Great Depression, Ruth had almost 2,300 inhabitants.[5] Nevada Consolidated Copper Co. was taken over by Kennecott Copper Corporation in 1933.[6] Ruth ceased being a company town in 1955 when the houses were sold to the John W. Galbreath Company. Occupants were given the opportunity to purchase the homes they had been renting. Around this time the community was moved two miles north to make way for expansion of the Deep Ruth mine.[6] In 1978 Kennecott closed the mines in Ruth,[7] which went into decline. The elementary school closed in 1986. BHP reopened the mine in 1996. From 1996 to 1999, the BHP Nevada Railroad was based here. The mine closed again in 1999. Quadra FNX Mining reopened the Robinson Mine in 2004, and it is still in full production as of 2015. The Nevada Northern Railway Museum maintains some track in the area. Ruth is the inspiration for the Stephen King novel Desperation.[8] Notable persons
ClimateRuth experiences a semi-arid climate with hot summers and cold winters, typical of most small towns in the Great Basin. Due to Ruth's substantial elevation and aridity, the Diurnal temperature variation is large. Nights are cool, even in the summer, and frosts can occur any time of the year, although rare in summer months. Daytime highs in the winter tend to be a few degrees above freezing, but nights can be bitterly cold. {{Weather box|location = Ruth, Nevada (Elevation 6,880ft) |single line = Y |Jan record high F = 62 |Feb record high F = 68 |Mar record high F = 75 |Apr record high F = 80 |May record high F = 88 |Jun record high F = 93 |Jul record high F = 100 |Aug record high F = 96 |Sep record high F = 92 |Oct record high F = 86 |Nov record high F = 80 |Dec record high F = 64 |year record high F = 100 |Jan high F = 37.8 |Feb high F = 40.6 |Mar high F = 46.9 |Apr high F = 53.9 |May high F = 64.2 |Jun high F = 74.9 |Jul high F = 84.0 |Aug high F = 82.1 |Sep high F = 73.6 |Oct high F = 61.7 |Nov high F = 47.5 |Dec high F = 38.5 |year high F = 58.8 |Jan low F = 6.3 |Feb low F = 11.0 |Mar low F = 18.0 |Apr low F = 23.6 |May low F = 31.3 |Jun low F = 38.8 |Jul low F = 45.9 |Aug low F = 44.5 |Sep low F = 34.4 |Oct low F = 24.7 |Nov low F = 15.5 |Dec low F = 6.7 |year low F = 25.1 |Jan record low F = −30 |Feb record low F = −31 |Mar record low F = −19 |Apr record low F = -12 |May record low F = 5 |Jun record low F = 18 |Jul record low F = 18 |Aug record low F = 22 |Sep record low F = 12 |Oct record low F = -5 |Nov record low F = −22 |Dec record low F = −34 |year record low F = −34 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation inch = 0.91 |Feb precipitation inch = 1.06 |Mar precipitation inch = 0.96 |Apr precipitation inch = 1.40 |May precipitation inch = 1.22 |Jun precipitation inch = 1.10 |Jul precipitation inch = 0.89 |Aug precipitation inch = 0.95 |Sep precipitation inch = 0.83 |Oct precipitation inch = 1.04 |Nov precipitation inch = 0.82 |Dec precipitation inch = 0.95 |year precipitation inch = 12.14 |Jan snow inch = 10.8 |Feb snow inch = 11.2 |Mar snow inch = 7.9 |Apr snow inch = 6.8 |May snow inch = 2.0 |Jun snow inch = 0.3 |Jul snow inch = 0.0 |Aug snow inch = 0 |Sep snow inch = 0.1 |Oct snow inch = 2.8 |Nov snow inch = 5.3 |Dec snow inch = 10.8 |year snow inch = 58.0 |source 1 = The Western Regional Climate Center[10] |date=April 2013 }} References{{commons category}}1. ^{{cite web|title=American FactFinder|url=http://factfinder2.census.gov|work=U.S. Bureau of the Census}} {{White Pine County, Nevada}}2. ^{{cite book|last=Elliott|first=Russell|title=Nevada's twentieth-century mining boom: Tonopah, Goldfield, Ely|year=1966|publisher=University of Nevada Press|location=Reno|isbn=0-87417-133-4|page=344}} 3. ^{{Cite book |author=Charles Caldwell Hawley |title=A Kennecott Story |publisher=The University of Utah Press |year=2014 |page=95}} 4. ^{{cite book|last=Elliott|first=Russell|title=Radical labor in the Nevada mining booms: 1900-1920|year=1961|publisher=State Printing Office|location=Carson City, NV}} 5. ^{{cite book|last=Nevada Writers' Project of the Work Projects Administration|title=The WPA Guide to 1930s Nevada|year=1991 (reprint of 1940 ed.)|publisher=University of Nevada Press|isbn=0-87417-170-9|page=315}} 6. ^1 2 {{cite book|last=Elliott|first=Russell|title=Growing up in a company town: A family in the copper camp of McGill, Nevada|year=1990|publisher=Nevada Historical Society|location=Reno|page=200}} 7. ^{{cite book|last=Hulse|first=James|title=The Silver state: Nevada's heritage reinterpreted. 3rd ed.|year=2004|publisher=University of Nevada Press|location=Reno|isbn=0-87417-592-5|page=375}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=Desperation|url=http://www.stephenking.com/library/novel/desperation_inspiration.html|work=StephenKing.com}} 9. ^{{cite web|title=Bentley, Helen Delich|url=http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=b000392|work=Biographical Directory of the United States Congress|accessdate=06-02-2011}} 10. ^{{cite web| url =http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?nv7175| title =Seasonal Temperature and Precipitation Information | accessdate =April 6, 2013 | publisher =Western Regional Climate Center | language = }} 6 : Census-designated places in White Pine County, Nevada|Industrial Workers of the World|Populated places established in 1903|Company towns in Nevada|1903 establishments in Nevada|Great Basin National Heritage Area |
