MINED OUT
THE EMPTY BUILDINGS, SILENT NOW, STAND AS A MODERN MONUMENT TO COLORADO'S MINING PAST. IN YEARS PAST THERE WERE MANY OLD MINE SITES THAT DOTTED THE MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO. TIME HAS TAKEN ITS TOLL AND MOST OF THE OLDER SITES ARE GONE NOW. THE BUILDINGS IN THIS PICTURE ARE NEWER, THE MINE THEY ONCE SERVED HAD BEEN THERE FOR MANY YEARS BEFORE THESE BUILDINGS WERE BUILT. LEAD, AND ZINC WERE MINED HERE, ALONG WITH A LITTLE GOLD AND SILVER.
