Pariette Gilsonite Mine historical visit, recorded on-site on September 1998.
Grant C Betts gives a surface tour of the two Gilsonite Mines where he, and Reed Smoot McConkie worked as miners back in the mid-1900s.
Mining Gilsonite during World War II was by hand, using a six pound pick and then shoveling the ore into 200 pound sacks, which were sewn by hand and taken to the mine elevator.
In 1949 at the Parriette Gilsonite mine near Myton, Utah, Reed Smoot McConkie set the world record for ore mined by hand. Using his pick and shovel, he mined 175 bags of ore in an 8 hour day, 950 bags in a six day week, 1,925 bags in a month and 15,000 bags in one year.
This video was originally recorded September 5th, 1998. Labor Day Weekend in the Uintah Basin. The mines are located outside of Myton, Utah in the Uinta Basin.
The Pariette Gilsonite mine is located at 40.081667, -110.040833
