Local Legends

East Tintic Mountains

Eureka, UT

The East Tintic Mountains of Utah hold the old Tintic Mining District — Eureka and its vanished sister camps — where silver boomtowns rose and emptied. Around the headframes, cemeteries and ghost-town traces have grown a century of miners' legends: lights underground, figures at the shafts and voices on the wind.
