Gregory found a gold-bearing vein (the Gregory Lode) in Gregory Gulch between Black Hawk and Central City.Within two months many other veins were discovered, including the Bates, Gunnell, Kansas, and Burroughs. By 1860, as many as 10,000 prospectors had flocked to the town, then known as Mountain City, and surrounding prospects, Located just over 35 miles west of Denver it is a hidden gem! |
