The Cripple Creek Mining District is located
a little west for Colorado Springs (5989 feet.) in Colorado, USA. About 75 miles south of Denver. It
is made up of 3 towns, Cripple Creek,
Goldfield and Victor. It used to be several smaller towns, but today I guess
those above are the ones left. Goldfield is in my head a part of Victor,
but I guess the people living there might not agree so if you ever goes
there, don't tell them I said the above. J
Joke aside, I think I need to check my info before I write
much further, after all, this page should have correct information on it,
not just my ideas of how things are... Or...? J
