A rare promotional pamphlet designed to attract investment in the gold and silver mines of Clear Creek County, a place which, according to the authors, boasts "one of the largest and richest Silver Belts that can be found in Colorado." After presenting a brief history of mining in the area, the authors go on to lay out "some of the salient points and advantages that Clear Creek County possesses as a mineral producing district." Includes a folding map by Ernest Le Neve Foster of Georgetown, Colorado, to serve as a guide to the county's resources and showing "the locality of each mining camp; also, the streams and mountains on which mines are located." The table lists the amount of ore produced since 1859, with information on the growth in the local population. OCLC locates ten copies over four accession numbers. Rare Book Hub lists only a copy offered by the Eberstadts in 1953; this is the first copy we have handled. WYNAR 757. GRAFF 3953. WILCOX, p.107. EBERSTADT 132:224. LINGENFELTER CO:1743.
