Ghost Town Cable Mine Once Boomed in Granite County
Cable was a mining camp in the early 1880s that grew after 1866 when gold was found. By 1881 the Cable mine employed about 150 men with 100 Chinese miners in placer work, while overland freighting and ox teams moved ore and supplies. The town faded as gold declined, leaving decaying buildings, a disrupted social life, and relics from the era.

Local promoters such as Glengarry Miles City Tanser and Mohawk seek winter operations and new tourism ties amid high altitude scenery and fishing and hunting appeal.
