The Gold Hill Story of a Ghost Town Mining Era
Gold Hill near Tooele offers a history of colorful mining ventures from 1869 onward. Promoters, amalgamating mills, and a single minded pursuit of gold, silver, and arsenic shaped its rise and decline, with figures like Col J Woodman and investor Frank Rowley driving early booms and later closures. The region yielded about 3.1 million dollars in ore value up to 1920 and supported dozens of workers over the decades as arsenic and other metals influenced fortunes.
