This is an company town from the 20's. The town once had 5000 residence working the Storrs mine, and smelter. The town also had a hotel and many stores. The town declined when the mine didnt produce high grade ore. The mine closed and shortly after the smelter burned down under mysterious curcumstances. Submitted by: Mike Westereng |
