Eadsville occupied a mountain bench around a large spring at roughly 7,800 feet in the Casper Mountain country south of Casper — altitude and isolation being the two facts every account of it leads with. Charles W. Eads established the mining settlement in 1891; the record preserves his reputation alongside his name — remembered as a horse thief who ended in prison — making him the rare town founder whose legend begins with his criminality.
What Eads hoped to find was gold. What the mountain actually held was humbler: feldspar and asbestos, the minerals that supplied the camp's real work and left 'spar' as the locals' shorthand. A dozen cabins housed a peak population the accounts put between forty and fifty, and the gold stayed at trace levels — present enough to keep men digging, absent enough to keep them poor.

FOUNDATIONS AND A MARKER
The settlement faded with the first decade of the new century; what remains today are foundations and a marker amid the mountain timber, reachable by back roads.
The file files it as heritage with no haunting claim implied — the notes are explicit — and with parcel access unverified. What the archive records is the shape of a hundred Wyoming camps: a named man of doubtful character, a spring, a dozen cabins, and minerals that were real but wrong — the bonanza held in the hand turning out to be spar.
