Harry Joy was a mining engineer from Detroit, Michigan and in 1872 he and his partner, Charles Howard, organized a small mining settlement in the Drum Mountains near Mount Laird, Utah. It was now a tiny town named Joy and known as the Detroit Mining District. It proved to be too far away to keep it stocked with essentials to run the every day business. After a fire in the smelter things spiraled into a loosing battle for the company and it folded. It's the a ghost town now with a few old building foundations left and some rusty mining equipment. This rough was collected in the 60's when there was no mining going on and it was a ghost town back then too. -WET pic.-(4"x2"/2.6 oz./6mm thk) sealed fractures
