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.

Nice work on beryllium production! You might consider a series on the rare earths, as they combine the glamor of ultra-high tech applications with interesting geopolitical facts (I’ve heard the Mountain Pass, CA mine will reopen soon: maybe they’d fund it? Apparently they have similar environmental issues, namely uranium & thorium byproducts that have to be dealt with before mining recommences……)

Thank you for your readable and brief overview of the Tintic. 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. . . .

I’ll probably give approval, but I’d like to know first which part you want to quote and how it will be used.

Brian:

Brush Resources and Brush Engineered Materials, which operates the concentration plant and owns the mine, might have samples but as far as I know they don’t give them out. You could try them, however, and see what they say. If you needed a sample for a museum then they might provide one.
