I frequently travel through the district and have just begun exploring. I have a copy of an old history of the area, and visited the museum in Eureka about a month ago.

I am interested in the various rare minerals and am hoping there are pictures available. “Eurekadumpite” sounds like someone didn’t work overtime to find an impressive name. . . .

My dad was a miner in the Tinctic District during world war 2. I was born at the hospital in Payson just before the war ended and was brought home to a sweet home on the main street. I think it’s still exists – from what I saw online earlier this year.

Congratulations on your position at the Walden School, which offers very fine educational opportunities. I’ll check back from time to time to see what more I can learn from your project.

Gratefully, Linda Summers (in Sedona, Arizona)

I now have a much better understanding of the geomorphology and am excited to visit tomorrow. I am on my way to SLC for a tour around Tintic and Bingham before I end up in Keystone Colorado for the SEG conference.

Thanks

Dean
