Exploring Eureka and the Tintic Mining District
Off to explore the old mining district in the Tintic valley, and the surviving town of Eureka.
Tintic has some very old mines. No, VERY old mines. As the gold and silver was literally laying in the ground, the Ute Tribe had been digging for minerals for hundreds of years before Spanish explores came through almost 300 years ago, and legend says they too worked the old Ute mines. Tintic was the Ute Cheif when the Mormons arrived in 1847. In 1869, the same year the railroad arrived in Utah, a prospector named Rust "discovered" the old mines, and a gold and silver boom ensued.
The big town there was, and is, Eureka. A great little "ghost town" in the heart of the mining district.
