Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Mike Ivers Park City mining collection (1885-1923) focuses on mining and labor in Park City, Utah, during a period in which unions worked to organize the mining industry. Included is a list of miners and their union affiliations. Also present are letters of recommendation with warnings of Industrial Workers of the World union membership, union circulars, a notice of Park City Citizens Alliance, documents regarding the 1919 strikes at the Silver King Consolidated Mining Company, and mining companies' payroll and daily journals. The collection also offers a time book from Ontario Mine Shaft #3 and extracts from a mine inspector's report. Much of the material inadvertently expresses the social situation of the times. Pay scale, length of work shifts, ethnic disparity among the workers, and living conditions are all apparent in these papers.
