Bassick discovered a rich outcropping on his way home from working for the Centennial Mining Co. on Tyndal Mountain. He took out more than half a million in gold and silver before selling to an Eastern company. The Bassick Mine was one of Colorado’s richest, deepest, and most advanced gold mines for its time (1877-1885). They built a mill to treat gold ore, fluming the tailings into an adjacent creek for disposal. The town peaked in 1882. It is a ghost town today. Date: 1884 Location: Querida , Colorado HWAC# 62839
