Buena Vista Info According to Col. H. W. Comstock, the surface ore covers a larger area, exists in larger bodies and carries a higher average value in gold than in any lode mining district yet explored in the Rocky Mountains. It has been demonstrated in the Gold King, Buena Vista, Great View, Superior and Rose-Maud, all of which are producing high grade shipping ore from solid masses measuring from four up to twenty-five feet across.
The greatest depth that has been attained is one hundred feet, in the Buena Vista. The ore body there, at that level, is larger, has firmer walls, and is of better grade than at any point above. There is no free milling ore, strictly speaking, in the district; but there is a vast tonnage, already uncovered and tested, that can be treated in the ordinary gold mills with little if any preliminary treatment.
This is, of course, surface ore, and as we approach water level we may, and shall, undoubtedly, find it necessary to roast most of the product in order to save a reasonable percentage of its value, as much of it is exceedingly complex in character. In the Buena Vista tellurium is found in all of the ore. The grade of these telluride ores is so high, exceeding $100 to the ton, that it will be a profitable shipping ore, notwithstanding its complex character and excess of silica.

Buena Vista Info Col. Ed F. Browne, of Aspen said that "contrary to the general opinion, I do not find that the porphyry is generally mineralized, or that there is a second deposition of porphyry in fissures; but the fact is, there are well defined leads of quarts that pass through this massive porphyry, and it is the gangue of the veins.
While there are parts of the porphyry rock that is mineralized, those parts that are rich at all are lying between stringers of the quarts, and it is easily seen how it should be mineralized, lying in such a position.
"East of the Great View is found the Buena Vista, which is on another vein that runs northwest, both of these lodes evidently pointing toward either Rhyolite or Mineral hill, northeast of the town of Fremont.
"The Buena Vista is a beautifully well defined lead in this porphyry, and undoubtedly of great value. As yet, not enough work is done on the extensions of this vein to fully determine its character. The Buena Vista is the deepest mine in the camp, and is a good example of the importance of deeper developments, as it shows a well defined fissure opening as it descends into the earth, and which, while at the surface was not much over a foot wide, is now fully four feet wide, and of much better ore.
"I am thoroughly of the opinion that there will be three great mines on the Buena Vista vein. I am also of the opinion that the greatest mine of this camp will be found in a locality not yet developed.

Buena Vista Ore Sample Values Mr. James Porter, who spent many years in the Lake Superior district, had been in the camp for some time, representing eastern parties, and whereas he was not prepared to express positive convictions regarding the continuity of the veins now exposed, he remarked that the outlook was exceedingly encouraging, and the formation apparently worthy of the most thorough examination.
He showed several analyses of ore taken from different sections of the district, made at his instance. From a three ton lot in the ore house of the Buena Vista Mr. Porter took two samples. One of these, assayed by himself, ran $116; the other, sent to Capt. Evans, of Leadville, ran $94.
From seventeen inches of the face in the same mine, Mr. Porter took an average sample by scraping into a blanket, and secured a return of $72.
A sample of tellurium ran $31.50, while a sample of waste, taken from a wheel barrow loaded for the dump, ran $13.

Buena Vista Info Dr. A. J. Lanterman, having resided in Leadville and at Buena Vista for the past fourteen years, and being everywhere, is recognized as a person of the highest integrity. Since November last, he has spent more than half of his time in the Cripple Creek district and is doubtless second to none in possession of information concerning its resources. He has watched the progress of events with painstaking interest from the beginning, and his simple relation of them constitutes a pretty succinct history of the camp.
"When I first came here, the only mine with any development whatever was the Great View, for it was not until December that work was begun upon the Buena Vista and Gold King, in the latter indications of mineral were observable almost at once, and within two weeks the first shipment was made.
The first car of ore from the Buena Vista did not go out until the first of February. In the discovery shaft of this mine, an eight inch pay streak was disclosed at a depth of thirty-five feet. At a depth of seventy-five feet the vein had widened to thirty-five inches.
The value of the ore, at thirty-five feet, was $34 per ton. The first shipment, consisting of twenty-two tons seven hundred pounds, ran $143 per ton, showing an increase in value as well as a widening of the pay streak. Since that time three cars of ore have been shipped. The value of its contents has not been made public, though I am satisfied, from information gathered from private sources, that it is of even better grade than the first lot.
"The Buena Vista exposed vein has walls of porphyry and is about five feet. I am not a geologist or a mineralogist, although engaged in mining for many years. I am not, therefore, bold enough to entertain a theory of the formation of this district. The generally accepted idea, however, is that the porphyry has been thrown out through the fissures in the granite, and the mineralized quartz has formed true fissures in the porphyry.
I know of but two true fissure veins which have granite walls. Upon these are located the Washington and the Blue Bell."

Buena Vista Info From the Lou P. K. I went almost due east to Bull mountain, near the summit of which is located the Buena Vista, and near it, the Orphan Belle. The Buena Vista looked more like a mine than any other property in the district. It is managed also by an old Leadville miner, Mr. Tom McDonald, assisted by his brother as chief top man.
It is developed by a single incline, almost vertical, now down one hundred feet. The mine is provided with a substantial shaft house, and a Davis whim is used—the only bit of machinery to be seen in the entire district, costing the munificent sum of one hundred dollars.
A small boarding house is erected near by, but the company is building a larger one at the foot of the mountain, having wearied of the annoyance and expense of packing water up the steep elevation on the backs of burros.
The Buena Vista was located July 22, 1891, and has yielded profitable ore from the grass roots. Professor Newberry, of Aspen, made a very flattering report upon the Buena Vista, and the confidence felt in its development into a bonanza is evinced by the fact that the stock par value $1, has advanced to $8.50.
The first mineral taken out of the property ran $20 to $30 per ton, and the first car load, twenty-two tons seven hundred pounds, yielded $143 per ton at the Grant works in Denver. About three car loads have since been shipped, the values not made public.
The walls in the Buena Vista are conceded to grow firmer and the ore richer, as depth is attained. No drifting has been done, and we believe it is not the purpose of the management to do any stoping until the shaft is sunk to a greater depth.
The company has started a tunnel into the mountain, several hundred feet below, and the developments in this opening will be watched with great interest.
Admission to the mine is difficult to obtain, the owners being engaged in securing adjacent property.
In my third article on Cripple Creek I gave some analyses of the ore from the Buena Vista, secured by Mr. James Porter, a disinterested party.
It will require six months' work, I should say, to demonstrate satisfactorily the extent of the Buena Vista vein, and all of the characteristics of the Bull mountain formation.

Isabella MineMines and Minerals, March 1899
(page 365)
Written for Mines and Minerals, by Prof. Arthur Lakes.
(page 365)
There is no doubt but a very rich strike of ore, perhaps the richest in the history of Cripple Creek, has lately been made in the Isabella mine at Cripple Creek. The exact nature and value of this at present are unascertainable, owing to the reticence of the company.
The nature of the ore appears to be very rich bodies of telluride and free gold, ores which, in a minor degree of richness, have characterized the mine from the outset.
The Isabella property is one of the oldest in the camp. It is situated on the Eastern slope of Bull hill, commanding a fine view of Pike's peak. A lofty castle rock of columnar phonolite crowns the hill above the mines, which was celebrated in the miners' strike as the "Strikers' fortress," commanding as it did a view of all the country round.
The rocks of this section are both andesitic breccia and phonolite. Most of the important mines on Bull hill are on veins in fissures in the massive eruptive rocks, a few such as the Victor, are on fissures in the breccia. The Bull Hill fissures are often faulted, owing to the brittle character of the massive rocks.
The veins are very numerous, trending in various directions. They vary from an inch to several feet in width, and show at times, well defined bodies of quartz in them, containing iron pyrites, iron oxide, fluorite, and other minerals forming the cement of the fragments of rock, occurring in the fissures. The country rock may also be impregnated with these minerals along the path of fissures.
The most well defined and continuous of these fissures or fissure systems are the veins of the Victor, Lee, and Isabella mines which are on the same, or closely allied veins, along the same zone of fissuring and ore deposition for a direct distance of upwards of a mile, and along these veins the mines are more or less in connection.
Two or more closely parallel veins are found in these mines, among which is the one in the Lee workings which has lately yielded such unprecedented riches. The course of the main vein fissures is often very circuitous and deflected. The country rock is partly massive trachy-phonolite and partly andesitic breccia. In the Lee shaft the vein is in the massive rock, in the Smuggler and Victor in the breccia.
The ore is in quartz, not unfrequently an opaline quartz like that deposited from a hotspring or geyser, showing the mode of genesis of the ore. This quartz may change into a yellow jasper. The precious metals are free gold, especially near the surface, and telluride ; the latter more with depth. The rich ore is in well defined shoots, continuing for considerable distance along the strike of the vein.
