Subject |
Murray City; Smelters |
Description |
Lime was mined here and sent to the smelters. Courtesy of Blaine Burger. Smelters needed limestone for their operations. Topliff, in Tooele County, was built near a lime deposit there. A rail spur led to the quarry, and ASARCO ran a quarry operation there. After a majority of the smelters had shut down, quarry operations ceased and Topliff died. Ev Berger worked at Topliff probably in the late 1920s or early 1930s. Snapshots of Topliff were taken by Ev's cousin Bud Baker, who also worked at Topliff. The photos were given to Blaine Burger by Bud's wife, Eloise Baker. |
