Kennecott mine in Alaska - what happened?

When prospectors were looking for pasture for their horses, they saw a green hill in the distance. On arrival in the vicinity, they discovered it was not grass, but a huge deposit of copper.
A town and operations were soon established - only to collapse in 1939 when all the copper was exhausted. All that remained was the abandoned Kennecott Mine Camp.
