Ancient quarrys near Hartville eyed for reserve by government
I Ss Bartlett of Cheyenne seeks Interior Department protection for prehistoric mines 30 miles north of Hartville. The Smithsonian and US Bureau of Ethnology consider reserving legal subdivisions upon locating the mine sites, which lie in the Muddy Creek breaks in northern Laramie or southern Converse counties. Explorations by Bartlett describe vast pits, tunnels, and rock quarries with tools and debris, while mystery surrounds the origin of these ancient sites.
