Ifwi1 On a steep mountainside in Central Utah f ' huge mounds of multicolored mine wastes, I jfN f yvOp weathered to look like a miniature Bryce WhrJW&y Canyon, stand as a reminder of gold min- Mlfflj V" ing in early-Utah history. Prior to 1879 the Mercur area lured many prospectors. nP-Vii Finds were rich - as high as $5,000 a ton $L Jl (II pff It 1 1 in silver but mainly in pockets. In 1S79 ; 1 f !'i a Bavarian, Arie Pinedo, found the Mer- in to if H Up cur lode, but the clay-like nature of the LLLg j I flj t red earth and fineness of the gold made H Ml IS ij ill!

Instead, after testing the idea, they f KrriuE-CO.&0S?&fA '; built a cyanide plant, the first of its kind jhbs JST Vy8 ' in the United States. Mining continued IIMwW ' until 1913, during which time more than "VSv'x i $16,500,000 worth of gold was recovered. VTs I Mining, like brewing, has contributed w-" J j much to Utah's progress.
