Triumph Mine Chugged Along Until 1957
 
   
 
Sunday, August 7, 2022
 

Miners began flocking out East Fork Road south of Ketchum when silver was discovered in 1883. What is commonly referred to as the Triumph Mine today proved indispensable during World War II. But it also saw tragedy in 1917 when an avalanche wiped out a two-story bunkhouse at 3:30 in the morning, killing at least 15 miners.

Learn more of this mine’s history when Eye on Sun Valley’s Karen Bossick sits down for a chat with Ketchum historian John Lundin and Carl Massaro, who purchased the Triumph Mine in 2007.
