The Umpire was first opened in 1883 under another name, and was merely a placer (surface ore) mine. Several structures were built, but the lode didnt' last long. In 1922, the ore vein which created the placer was discovered. Gold prices at the time were low, so work was slow and didn't involve many people. Good quantities of silver ore were extracted as well, and some tin and lead. The Umpire was worked on and off until the late 1970's, when it was finally closed for good.
