THE OLD VIENNA MINE
(The Place to go is Idaho)
This famous mining area was opened in 1879.
By 1883 a twenty stamp mill was turning out
between forty and fifty thousand dollars worth
of ore per month. It continued this production
until 1885 when a Lawsuit closed the property.
In 1917 the Old Vienna Co. reacquired control
over the Mines, built a new Mill, and camp, but
to no avail. The Mill never ran and the area,
which had produced over five hundred thousand
dollars worth of Silver, sank into ruin.
