Country Boy Mine


The Country Boy Mine was patented in 1887 by Gustav Myers and E.A. Rubasso. This historic mine quickly became a heavy producer of gold, lead, silver, and zinc. In 1905 electric power was added to The Country Boy, a huge zinc vein was struck in 1906, and the mine shipped regularly in 1912-13 when most summit mines had shut down. The mine worked well into the World War II era and is open today for families to experience it's history and life. A guided tour will take you through 1000 ft of origonal workings. Experience the life of a miner over 100 years ago.
