The Colorado Central mine, which lies in Leavenworth Gulch southwest of Georgetown, is one of the most famous of the region. It was discovered in 1872, and has been worked more or less continuously up to the present day, producing an estimated total of over $8,000,000. The Colorado Central vein or veins strike to the northeast, and are nearly vertical; they have been continuously opened up, both at the surface and underground, for a distance of three-fourths of a mile. The workings reach a depth of about 1,050 feet, the lower levels (beneath the 600-foot or Ocean Wave tunnel level) being worked only by shafts. A long tunnel - the Hall tunnel - was started from Clear Creek below Silver Plume, to pass under Leavenworth Mountain and cut the Colorado Central veins at a depth approximately that of the present lowest workings, but was never carried in that far.
