The upper photo is of Josie Bishop. I took a picture of a photo on the wall of the ranger station. The lower photo is of her and her son's graves on SC 175. The following story is information I recieved from a paper at the ranger station.

Josephine Stevens Bishop was born on June 18,1875 in Silver City, New Mexico to Harvey and Harriet Whitehill. At 19 years of age, she taught school in Pinos Altos, New Mexico. She married Herbert hall Bishop on March 4, 1896, bearing him seven children. The Bishops moved around the country for several years. They separated in 1920. While in living in Long Beach, Josie began a short acting career after which she began mining the high desert area for gold and silver. After acquiring numerous claims, Josie finally hit "pay dirt" in 1937 by discovering the richest radium mine known at the time. The media gave her the name "Radium Queen of the Mojave" and Josie's fame spread worldwide. As a representative of Kern County and the mining industry, she toured the nation, appearing on various radio shows and in many publications. The only wealth she ever realized from her big strike was $50.00. Josie Bishop died in an automobile accident on July 12, 1951. She is buried at her claim, approximately 5 miles north of Cantil.
