Report of Progress in the Geological Resurvey of the Cripple Creek District, Colorado (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of Progress in the Geological Resurvey of the Cripple Creek District, Colorado
The Cripple Creek gold deposits were discovered in 1891. Shortly afterwards, in 1894, an examination of the new district was undertaken by the United States Geological Survey, Mr. Whitman Cross having charge of geology and petrography and Mr. R. A. F. Penrose, ir., undertaking the examination of the mines. Their report, accompanied by a geological map, was published in the Sixteenth Annual Report of the Geological Survey, Part 11, pages 1 - 207, and has for the last ten years served as a useful and accurate geological guide to mining operations.
With the astonishingly rapid development of the Cripple Creek mines the opportunities for geological study multiplied, revealing great complexity of vein phenomena and stimulating a desire for fur ther investigation, particularly with a view of obtaining some evidence as to the persistence of the veins in depth. This desire found expres sion in a request by citizens of Colorado for a reexamination of the district by the United States Geological Survey and in an offer of cooperation, whereby the cost would be equally divided between the State of Colorado and the National Survey. The necessary amount having been subscribed in Cripple Creek, Colorado Springs, and Den ver, the State contribution was put in the hands of Mr. John Welling ton Finch, State geologist of Colorado, and by him disbursed. The cordial thanks of the geologists in charge of the work are due to Mr. Finch for his hearty and efficient cooperation.

Hand sorting and washing, the latter in order to separate the fines, are the methods employed. More care is now taken than formerly, but at many places there is still room for improvement.
