Granite thrived as a silver mining town in the 1890s, but is now completely deserted.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Granite Ghost Town State Park )〕 The state of Montana maintains the mine superintendent's house and the ruins of the union hall as Granite Ghost Town State Park. ==History== In 1872, Eli Holland found a small quantity of high quality ruby silver in the area. A shallow shaft was dug, but later abandoned until 1877, when Charles McLure discovered some silver ore in the shaft. He later traveled to St. Louis to obtain the capital necessary to begin development of the mine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Granite County Ghost Towns )〕 Granite eventually grew to a town with more than 3,000 inhabitants. For the time period, there were many modern amenities, such as the large Miners Union Hall, a library, 18 saloons, brothels, a hospital and school as well as churches. The Sherman Silver Purchase Act was repealed in 1893, drastically lowering the price of silver, and many residents left Granite, leaving only 140 residents a year later. Granite is currently entirely uninhabited. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Granite, Montana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
