About the Mining District
Mount White Mining District, Chaffee County, CO
Geology/History:
While Most people were searching for hidden gold and silver, they stumbled across a more precious treasure, Aquamarine. From sea green to sky blue coloring, these stone come from pockets of bubbles in the granite known by scientist as Miarolitic cavitites. other associated minerals include white feldspar, colorless quartz, smokey quartz, fluorite, and more rarely found orange to sherry topaz crystals as well as the beryllium mineral Bertrandite.
Lost Canyon in Chaffee County had prospectors reportedly found gold nuggets "the size of eggs" in 1860 and took ,000 in gold in a few short weeks before winter set in. when they returned the following spring they were unable to locate the rich claim.
Among the earliest gold discoveries in the Colorado gold rush were placer deposits discovered in the 1859  at the headwaters of the Arkansas River near Granite. By late 1860 most of the streams had been prospected, and numerous gold placers were reported along the Arkansas River to Buena Vista and beyond. The deposits along the Arkansas River and Cache Creek near Granite probably were the most productive, producing about 49,000 troy ounces of gold.
In many Colorado mining districts the easily discovered and worked placers were the first big strikes of typical gold rush. But the free gold supply in stream beds quickly became depleted, and the initial phase was followed by prospecting for veins of lode gold that were the original source of the placer gold. The hills above granite are pockmarked with numerous old mining tunnels from hard rock mining evidence of the second stage of a gold rush cycle. Their neighbors in Leadville went on to discover silver, resulting in a silver rush, but Granite never got that far. In just a few years their ore began to play out, and the town's population, once as high as 7000, began to decline. there are a few old structures and mine tailings remaining in the gulchfrom st. Elmo's busy Mining days.
