#### Abstract

Adequate treatment of so large and so extensively developed a district as 
that of Leadville necessitates a voluminous report, in which the practical 
questions of prime interest to the commercial world can not be systematically 
answered until the data on which they depend are discussed. Many readers will no 
doubt wish to turn at once to the chapter on ore reserves, which will give them 
an appraisal of the district, without bothering with geologic detail. For those 
who wish a brief general account, a summary of the principal chapters of the 
report is presented below.
