Historic Uintah Mine – Leadville, Co.
Anyone who has been to Leadville knows that Mining claims are all but impossible to find. With that in mind we put an exorbitant amount of work and effort into locating this documented gold producer. The substantial and historic mine is set in the Mount Sherman district, just a few miles out of Leadville. Its a very old claim that likely dates back into the 1870s in regards to location. The mine itself is assumed to have been commercially worked from 1900-1920 based on the machinery and many other factors. It has been sporadically worked up to 1981 for the free milling gold values. This has been mostly placer operations as the old drifts and tunnels appear to have been collapsed for at least 30 years.
