Providence at one time consisted of over 20 businesses lining the Big Bug Creek. Three mills were erected and the town got a post office in 1899. No money ever came out of the mines and the mine promoter was eventually found out to be a liar as were most. He eventually wrote a book on how to commit mine fraud entitled, Rocks in the Road to Fortune. Today nothing remains.
