Mail
Drop Monument - About six miles south of Stockton there is a mysterious
looking monument that appears out-of-place. During the late 1800s
it was a convenient mail drop for residents in Tooele and Lehi and
points in between, including the towns of Ophir and Mercur. The
mailman from Tooele would collect post from there, Stockton, etc.,
and take to the mail drop for pickup or delivery. The mailman from
Lehi did the same thing for Ophir and Mercur.
