Sylvanite Mine of Colorado Described as Alad Din's Cave
H A Pierce writes from Crested Butte about the Sylvanite Mountain mine, 13 200 feet high, where native silver wires and rich ore pockets yield 60 000 in a single 32 by 82 by 34 foot chunk. Under superintendent Mark Murphy, development continues as ore shipments and high per ton values attract attention amid mismanagement by outsiders. Pierce calls it the richest, most beautiful mine he has seen, likely to yield millions if well run.
