Synopsis

Excerpt from Management of Subalpine Forests, Building on 50 Years of Research: Proceedings of a Technical Conference, Silver Creek, Colorado, July 6-9, 1987

Although Indians, probably Utes and possibly Arapahos, undoubtedly entered the St. Louis Creek drainage from time to time before the arrival of the white man, they left little or no ible evidence of their presence. With the settlement of the West, however, miners and trappers came into the valley in the late 18005. Numerous ruins of mine shafts and cabins attest to their presence.

The earliest recorded mining claims near St. Louis Pass date from the early 19005. Most of the miners were looking for gold, but found lead, zinc, and silver. In addition to those claims near St. Louis Pass, early miners were active in the Iron and Mine Creek drainages (fig. Mining continued on a limited basis in upper Mine Creek through the 19505. How ever, the volume of ore extracted was never high enough to warrant extensive operations.

The Fraser Experimental Forest was withdrawn from mineral entry in the early 19505, and today there is no mining activity on the Forest.

On May 12, 1905, that part of St. Louis Creek drainage that lies north of Sections 32, 33, 34, and 35, tis, r76w, gpm was set aside as part of the Leadville Forest Reserve. The Leadville Reserve included southern Grand County from Kremmling, Hot Sulpher Springs, Fraser, and east to the Continental Divide. On July 1, 1908, it became part of the Arapaho National Forest when that Forest was established. The land north of that line was in private ownership at the beginning of this century.
