History

Oro City

Placer gold was discovered in California Gulch on 1860, during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush, and the town of Oro City sprung up near present-day Leadville. Mount Massive (14421 feet is a Fourteener in the Sawatch Range of the US State of Colorado. In Geology, a placer deposit or placer is an accumulation of valuable minerals formed by deposition of dense mineral phases in a trap site Gold (ˈɡoʊld is a Chemical element with the symbol Au (from its Latin name aurum) and Atomic number 79 The Pike's Peak Gold Rush (later known as the Colorado Gold Rush) was the boom in Gold prospecting and mining in the Pike's Peak Country of western Oro City, now a Ghost town, was an early gold Placer mining town in the Mosquito Range of Lake County, Colorado, United States The boom was brief, however, and Oro City never became a major settlement. The placer gold mining was hampered by heavy brown sand in the sluice boxes.

Discovery of Silver

In 1874, gold miners at Oro City discovered that the heavy sand that impeded their gold recovery was the lead mineral cerussite, that carried a high content of silver. Characteristics Lead has a dull luster and is a dense, Ductile, very soft highly Cerussite (also known as lead carbonate or White lead ore) is a Mineral consisting of Lead Carbonate (PbCO3 Silver (ˈsɪlvɚ is a Chemical element with the symbol " Ag " (argentum from the Ancient Greek: ἀργήντος - argēntos gen Prospectors followed the cerussite to its source, and by 1876, had discovered several lode silver-lead deposits. In Geology a lode is the metalliferous Ore that fills a Fissure in a rock or a vein of ore deposited between layers of The city of Leadville was founded near to the new silver deposits in 1877 by mine owners Horace Austin Warner Tabor and August Meyer^[6] , setting off the Colorado Silver Boom. Horace Austin Warner Tabor ( November 26, 1830 - April 10, 1899) also known as Silver Dollar Tabor and The Bonanza King of Leadville August R Meyer ( August 20, 1851 – December 1, 1905) was a U The Colorado Silver Boom was a dramatic expansionist period of Silver Mining activity in the U By 1880, Leadville was one of the world's largest silver camps, with a population of over 40,000.

" Wilde later recounted a visit to a local saloon, "where I saw the only rational method of art criticism I have ever come across. Over the piano was printed a notice - 'Please do not shoot the pianist. He is doing his best. '"

Around 1883, famous outlaw Doc Holliday moved to Leadville, only a short time after the gun fight at the O. John Henry "Doc" Holliday ( August 14, 1852 &ndash November 8, 1887) was an American dentist K. Corrall.

In its early years, Leadville was the site of some famous mining swindles. When the Little Pittsburg mine exhausted its rich ore body, the managers sold off their shares while hiding the real condition of the mine from other stockholders. “Chicken Bill” Lovell dumped a wheelbarrow of rich silver ore into a barren pit on his Chrysolite mining claim in order to sell the claim to Horace Tabor for a large price; but Tabor had the last laugh when his miners dug down a few feet farther and discovered a rich ore body. Horace Austin Warner Tabor ( November 26, 1830 - April 10, 1899) also known as Silver Dollar Tabor and The Bonanza King of Leadville Later, the manager of the Chrysolite mine fooled an outside mining engineer into overestimating the ore reserves of that mine. ^[8]

Decline

The city's fortunes declined with the repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act in 1893, although afterwards there was another small gold boom. The Sherman Silver Purchase Act was enacted in 1890 as a United States federal law.

During World War II, Leadville was a popular spot for visits by soldiers at nearby Camp Hale, but only after the town acted to curb prostitution; until then, the United States Army declared the town off-limits for its personnel.

Superfund is the common name for the United States environmental policy officially known as the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act The town is now 98% cleaned up and the Superfund designation is about to expire. The town has made major efforts to improve its economy by encouraging tourism and emphasizing its history and opportunities for outdoor recreation.

The Leadville Historic District was designated in 1961. ^[11][13] It includes 67 mines in the mining district east of the city up to the 12,000 foot (3658 meter) level, and a defined portion of the village area, with specific exclusion of various buildings. Principal historic buildings in the district are: Tabor Grant Hotel, St. George's Church, Annunciation Church, Tabor Opera House, City Hall, Healy House, Dexter Cabin, Engelbach House, and Tabor House, as well as mining structures and small homes.

Potential Dangers to Town

see Leadville tunnel

Above Leadville, there is Drainage Tunnel which was built during the Second World War to facilitate the mining effort. The Leadville mining district was the most productive silver-mining district in the US state of Colorado. It is known as the Leadville Mine Drainage Tunnel (LMDT, and not the Yak Tunnel which is a separate drainage tunnel that has been remediated in the 1990s via EPA Superfund site), and is operated by the Bureau of Reclamation. In 2001 this tunnel collapsed and water has continued to build in the mine shaft that the tunnel served. The water pressure inside the tunnel has been increasing since 2001 because of the rising water level in the mines. There is little doubt that this is a serious problem. If the blockage suddenly released, it could destroy a community near the tunnel outlet known as East Fork Village and contaminate the Arkansas River (which flows in to the Mississippi River) with heavy metals. The Arkansas River is a major Tributary of the Mississippi River. The Mississippi River is the second longest River in the United States, with a length of from its source in Lake Itasca in Minnesota to There has been word that off pumping could begin on Thursday Feb. 21st 2008. ^[15]
