In spite of the difficulties of communication in this wild region, excitement‘ lured a _ continuous stream of emigrants westward, and while many of those whose wagons carried the triumphant device "Pikes Peak or bust" returned later with the device significantly altered to "bustâ€" ed," the more adventurous and hardy pioneers pushed resolutely up through the rocky gorges toward the sources of the streams.

This area had been disâ€" covered and developed since the issue vast amount of data available justiâ€" fied a complete survey. He planned accordingly, but his administrative duties were so many that his progress with the rsurvey was slow. In 1907 he wrote a bulletin on the "Downâ€" Mining developments in the district grew so rapidly that Emmons, on reâ€" visiting the district after some years, realized the need of a supplementary report and a little later decided that the extent of developments and the elapsed since its publication this monograph and its maps have been a constant well of information to minâ€" ing enginers and geologists and esâ€" pecially to local companies, who have called it their miner‘s Bible. Studied District Years Ago In 1880 one of the first undertakâ€" ings of the newly organized United States Geological Survey was a study of the Leadville mining district. S. F. Emmons was placed in charge of this work, and his preliminary reâ€" port on the district was issued in 1882. His complete report, which in~ volved a vast amount of laboratory work and preparation of very detailâ€" ed maps, was issued in 1886. It was known as the Leadville monograph and immediately gained recognition as a classic and as marking a new‘ epoch in the science of mining geoâ€" logy. During the 40 years of intenâ€" sive mining in the district that have ed to more than 66,000,000 pounds of lead and nearly 10,000 ounces of silâ€" appearance of the "heavy rock" that annoyed the placer miners, identified it as silverâ€"bearing lead carbonate and quictly prospected the wooded slopes that bordered the guich. The first lead carbonate in place was found on Dome Hill in 1874, but none was mined until 1876. Production increased rapidly and in wso.-om-‘ ed to more than 66000 000 nannde a# present city of Leadville was an unâ€" broken wilderness. * ll’hhdnoth-t-tha-:&“f- experience of two men equipped technical skill, it is quite probable "Your Vacation‘ WAUKESHA BEACH NASHOTAH LAKES PEWAUKEE LAKE Fok LAKE OISTRICY SILVER LAKE oRt. lke. 2 ‘5}‘,_\ WHERE TO GO AND HOW TO GET THERE ons 3@ || \A\\"“N |thlmlrvq.towry¢mth'ork. t ldlrviw‘-dufiuu‘ldenqnind > th.-.j‘rprtolhistim.ndcon- | tinued developments in the district t | made it increasingly difficult to comâ€" 1| plete the report. A rough draft of : j most of the report, however, had been t made by 1917, before Irving left with :| the American Expeditionary forces | for France, where he lost his life. : The work was then taken up by [G. F. Loughlin, who had studied the | newly discovered deposits of zinc carâ€" | bonate in 1913 and had submitted a |report on them. Further field studâ€" ies were necessary as late as 1925 | before the report was completed. Name a Misnomer After the issue of the original monograph in 1886, important discovâ€" eries of lode gold were made about 3890, of zinc sulphide about 1897, and of zinc carbonate in 1911. In spite of the name Leadville, lead has never been preeminent in value in the disâ€" trict‘s output. After the millions of gold had been taken out silver was the big product until 1903, when it was surpassed by zinc, which has exceeded all the other metals ever since, except in 1922 and1923, when the zinc marâ€" ket was very dull and silver again| became the ranking metal in value.} Copper and manganese have contribâ€" uted annually to the"total production, and small amounts of birmuth have ben produced intermittently. Leadville has been hard hit at difâ€" ferent times by miners‘ strikes and industrial depressions, but its most severe depression has been since the World war. Dull markets coupled with labor troubles caused the closâ€" ing and flooding of some of the most productive mines, which have been reopened only after long, expensive campaigns of unwatering. It is also} quite unlikely that such an old disâ€" trict, which has been so thoroughly prospected and has produced a total value of more than $435,000,000 to the end of 1926, will again attain proâ€" duction figures comparable with those of +7 onl > ap Yetectitalititlh ty woitorstns d-'v-mthmmqmu made only rough fragmentary drafts of parts of his report when he died.
