#### Abstract

The Cripple Creek gold deposits, discovered in 1891, were investigated by 
Messrs. Cross and Penrose, of the United States Geological Survey, in 1894. The 
present reexamination was requested by citizens of Colorado, and . has been 
carried out under the financial cooperation of the State with the Federal 
Survey. It has involved complete revision of the topographic map of the district 
used as a base by Cross and Penrose, the running of a line of accurate levels 
from Colorado Springs to Cripple Creek, remapping of the geology, and a thorough 
study of the extensive mine workings opened during the past ten years. Due 
acknowledgment is made, of the cordial assistance rendered by mining men, and a 
list is given of the important publications concerning the geology or mines of 
the district.
