Kenneccott Mines was a thriving mining camp
when the richest known concentration of copper in the world was found
there in 1900. The development of the ore began immediately, bringing
high profits to the state. However, the high-grade copper deposits were
exhausted by 1939 and the camp became deserted. Currently the site is
open for tourists who come to see old mines and abandoned buildings.
