Jacob’s Well Station 

Jacob’s Well is often included in published lists of Pony Express Stations. However there was no station at the site in October of 1860, 7 months after the inception of the Pony, as documented by Sir Richard Burton.

Today nothing remains but a few old stones from which the old well has long since caved in with rock and dirt. It was not only was a change station for the Pony Express until its demise as well as the Overland Stage Line until 1869, but it later served the Hill Beachy Road to Hamilton and the White Pine Mines.  http://www.expeditionutah.com/featured-trails/pony-express-trail/nevada-pony-express-stations/ 

JACOB'S WELL STATION 

Jacob's Well is noted by many sources as a Pony Express station.  The station did not exist when Richard Burton passed through the area on October 8, 1860, but it probably went up a short time later, or as part of Overland Mail Company contract. General Frederick Jacobs and a crew of men dug a well and erected a small stone structure that served as a stop for both Pony Express riders and the Overland Mail Company line. Very little, if any, evidence of the station remains at the site today. http://www.nps.gov/parkhistory/online_books/poex/hrs/hrs7b.htm#132
