An upcoming lecture will spotlight Silver King Consolidated Mines owner Solon Spiro, standing behind his wife, Ida, the second from the right.
Solon Spiro is best known in Park City for his development of the Silver King Consolidated Mine in Thaynes Canyon. But for his first 20 years in Utah, he was known as the manager and secretary of the M.S. Ascheim Mercantile Co., a clothing store in town. Despite working in Park City, he could afford to live in Salt Lake City, which at that time had much cleaner air and was a more respectable town.
