- The Howey Gold Mines open stope to surface in 1940. Open pit mining was practiced at Howey Gold Mine until a shaft pillar collapsed and the ground caved in. Howey Gold Mine closed the mine down forever, leaving hundreds of people unemployed. Businesses in the town went bankrupt, and many people left the area to find other sources of income.
