Triumph, Idaho

Triumph is an unincorporated community in the East Fork of Big Wood River, Blaine County, Idaho, United States.

Federal money built a modern sink float mill, new offices, warehouses and a Main Tunnel that went straight into the mountain for a mile and a half.

The small companies were joined to form "The Triumph Mining Co" which, at its WW2 peak, employed 200 men, 24 hours a day, and held the world record for zinc.

( See Triumph Village .net ) This solar project met with public criticism and ultimately failed.

The mountain was sold to Denovo in 2008 but "The Triumph Mineral Co" holds the tailings with plans for a solar project in the works for that site.
