During the last half of the 19th century, prospectors found gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc in the northern San Juan Mountains. The news spread quickly, and thousands more came to this region. However, mountain mining was dangerous work, with frequent cave-ins, explosions, rockslides and avalanches.
