Like all towns in Burke Valley, Mace was subject to natural disasters. The worst disaster was the avalanche of February 27, 1910, which destroyed the mine and most of the town. Killing at least 20 people and injuring hundreds, Mace was left in ruins. However the mine was a good producer so it was rebuilt along with Mace and continued operation for several more years. Today, nothing is left of Mace.] | Original Image |
