| Description |
SHEM, UTAH, 1902. Shem was a smelter where they smelted ore into bullion. The Blocks (bullion) were hauled to Modena and shipped away for further refinement. The Apex Mine was perhaps 10 miles from the smelter, Shem. Freighting outfits such as the Wm. Edward Bunker outfit here hauled ore from the Apex Mine (which was to the southwest, or west of Shem). Shem hummed with activity for about 10 years. The old mine is still the scene of limited and sporadic operations. Gift of LaVell & Oz Johnson. Original photo belongs to William Lang Bunker of Delta, Utah. Shem is in Millard County. |
