I am interested in obtaining any information relative to the Silver Dollar Mine.
I was told it had an employment of approximately 75 miners and the mine properties still exist, but I’m more interested in what production was when it was in operation.

I’m eager to know more about your project! I’m planning my own trip there to research my family the first week in March 2010.

They lived in Eureka/ Tintic in 1904 and were written up in every newspaper in the area. The local miners bought a home for my GG Grandmother after my GG Grandfather Edward Koyle died and left her 8 mo pregnant with 4 other young children.

It’s a tragic story but it sounds like the miners really tried to take care of their own. I’ll keep checking this page for updates on your project. Eureka!

My father Rex Larsen worked on the railroad in Tintic in 1941 and I have just discovered letters he wrote to my mother during that time so I’m interested in what you are doing to preserve the history. As a history buff, I’m glad you are doing what you can.

Have you been able to make any progress on this project? I would love to view the podcasts. This is one of my favorite places in the state!

Thanks,
Jason
