Description
xBy: M. R. Smith
This article was republished from the August 1981 edition of Survey Notes 15-1, highlighting the rich history of gold mining in Utah. It explores the various types of gold deposits, including placer deposits, and provides valuable information on staking a claim and navigating land ownership. While certain mining claims may have shifted since its original publication, the allure of prospecting for gold in Utah remains as strong as ever.
