Gold Found In Slag As Canon City Workmen Dig For Water Main
Workmen trenching on south Ninth street in Canon City uncover a substantial quantity of gold within slag from the old Royal Gorge smelter. The ore, processed decades ago by cyaniding after leaching and roasting, left precious metal dispersed in the waste material. The site, built by the American Smelting company and later managed by Mellette, Harpe and Taylor, then J. J. Phelps, has not yielded paying profits for years. A full reduction of the entire dump might recover thousands of dollars in gold hidden with dead material.
