Dates about the early 1900s. Significance: One of the rare . remaining early headframes of the Tintic District. As you can see in the picture, the impressive headframe is gone! We are sad.tp see this happen. Hie remnants of the mining activity in our area are really important. Those of us who live here and see them every day tend to fail to see the forest for the trees.

Eureka request The commission discussed a request by Eureka for the transference of property deeds for two pieces of land on Main Street for the construction of a new fire station. The commissioners unanimously agreed to conduct a title search to make sure this property is clear before further action is taken. As a result of a review of county roads, the commission agreed to grade and improve an existing road near Eureka to provide landowners better access to their property. An oil company which is doing some drilling in the area, asked permission to improve the Sage Valley road in Mills. There is a need for gravel and the installation of three permanent cattle guards in order for heavy equipment to reach the work site.
