Description

Issued by the BYU Museum of Peoples and Cultures in September 2004 as part of the Utah Division of Natural Resources DNR Division of Oil Gas and Mining DOGM Contract No 02-6607 to document the cultural resources within the Ophir II Mine Reclamation Project. Their conclusion was that "treatment of the sites determined to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places should be conducted in such a way as to preserve as much of the historic fabric as possible of these sites so that they can be studied and interpreted as evidence of the historic hard rock mining process and its contribution to the broad pattern of our national history."
