With Some Account of the Different Processes Now Being Introduced for Working the Gold Ores of That Territory. This is a very rare, original source, early work on silver deposits in Colorado. 107 pages. By J. P. Whitney.



Joel P. Whitney was a native New Englander who was among the most talented and energetic promoters of Colorado mines. His mining activities spanned some 40 years. He developed many mines and volunteered to serve as the delegate from Colorado to the Grand Paris Universal Exposition that opened in the Spring of 1867. He took a large quantity of minerals and ores from Leadville and other Colorado mines to be displayed and promoted. He was given a gold medal at the Expo. When the famous French mining engineer and author of “La View Souterraine ou Mines et Les Mineurs”, Louis Simonin, visited the United States, Whitney (who spoke fluent French) was his guide.
