Silver ore was discovered in the East Tintic Mountains by George Rush in 1869. New deposits of ore were soon located that were heavy with silver, gold, lead, zinc, copper, and other minerals, usually in the form of metal sulfides. The Tintic Mining District soon became an important producer of silver, gold and base metals with high yields during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. By 1899, the Tintic District was the leading mining district in the State of Utah and by 1915 Tintic mines had produced over $150 million dollars of metal. Divided between Utah and Juab counties, the large Tintic District is the location of several famous mines including the "Big Four" of Eureka; the Gemini, Bullion-Beck, Eureka Hill, and Centennial Eureka, as well as the Mammoth, the Dragon, the Grand Central, the Colorado, the Iron Blossom and others. Today, Utah is the third largest metal producing state in the U.S., behind Arizona and Nevada, in terms of total historical production.
