A large Ore Record ledger book covered in mahogany colored leather and tan suede, and containing 46 pages of entries of Ore Received from various mines in the Cripple Creek area. The company was established in 1895 by Charles L. Tutt and partner Spencer Penrose to purchase ore from small miners. It was one of the many mining and milling companies owned and operated by the two men. Tutt served as President and Penrose as Secretary and Treasurer. They eventually had a near monopoly on the milling of Cripple Creek ores and were key personalities in the district [Ref: www.mininghalloffame.org] and [Ref: www.cripple creekrailroads.com]. -58968
