Informations supplémentaires

The Sallie Barber Mine is situated in French Gulch, above the town of Breckenridge in Colorado. It was a small mine opened in 1880 and, by local standards, a relatively long producing one. It primarily produced zinc and also the associated minerals of gold, silver and lead. It had a 305 foot shaft and was mined on three levels. a major problem for the company was the transportation of the ore to a railway spur to be transported for processing. Th the time there was a shortage of railway cars and the Railroad Company wouldn't supply sufficient cars to transport the ore. A local newspaper reported that ore was stacked "everywhere" around the mine waiting to be shipped. The mine eventually proved to be uneconomical and closed in 1911. it re-opened briefly during World War 1 to produce zinc.
