The Seaton Mine Not
the First Silver Mine

The statement is made in the
Denver Post that the Seaton mine
near Idaho Springs, discovered by
Samuel R. Womack, who died at
Colorado Springs a few days ago.
was the first silver mine located
in Colorado.
The records of Clear Creek
county show that the Seaton mine
was discovered in 1861 by Seaton
& Womack. The records also
show that vast number of sill
ver-bearing lodes were discovered
in this county in 1860.
The first silver excitement in
Colorado was launched in the
summer of 1860, and during that
season thousands of silver-bear-
ing lodes were discovered in Sum-
nit, Park, Gilpin, Boulder, Jeffer-
son and Clear Creek counties.
Probably the first mention made
by the Rocky Mountain News of
the discovery of silver-bearing
lode was on the 11th of July, 1860.
as follows:
81. w. Brown of Blue River has
placed in our possession a hand
some specimen of lead ore, which
from an imperfect test shows a
fair percentage of silver. Several
rich veins of the mineral have
been found on the head waters of
the Blue and Platte rivers, and if
they prove as rich in silver as is
thought by many, Washoe must
look out for his laurels."
Later the News made the fol-
lowing statement:
"The first discovery of anything
which can be called lead or vein
of ore was made near Gregory
last winter (1859-6O). 1t is inter-
mixed with lead ore or galena.
and an imperfect test made at the
time was reported to have yielded
silver at the rate of sixty dollars
to the ton"
This lode may have been the
first in which silver was discov-
ered.-Georgetown Courier.
