Supickett (Pick) Murdock
Pick was a Ute Indian raised by a white Family in Heber City, Some say Pick lost the Silver King Mine in a Card game in Park City, the Silver King Mine was an Old Spanish Mine, one of many in the top of the Mountains above Park City at the top of the main ski lift. This was the story told to me by George Thompson, Pick was his relative and he told me that this picture is the only known picture of Pick Murdock.
