Kennicott, Alaska was another mining town that grew to prominence thanks to the discovery of copper in 1903. Due to the unpopular location, owners of the mine provided substantial salaries to the workers who came to work there. The men would work seven days a week for long hours and send home money to their families. Prosperity didn’t last long. By 1938, Kennicott became a ghost town with the copper being mined out.
