    Front Matter
    FRONT COVER: The wood frame Ute Ulay Mill on Henson Creek about three and a half miles west of Lake City, Colorado. Completed in 1930, its 150 ton-per-day milling circuit consists of a Blake jaw crusher, a Marcy ball mill, a Dorr classifier, a twenty-four-cell metal Ruth flotation machine, a Wilfley concentrating table, and associated equipment. Its concentrates were smelted in Leadville. In 2012, LKA Minerals donated ten acres containing the mine, mill, and Hanson town site (c.1880) to Hinsdale County, which oversees the site’s preservation and interpretation.

    Back Matter
    BACK COVER: Views of the eastern (top) and western sides of a bank of coke ovens along the west side of the Crystal River at Redstone, Colorado. Known as beehive ovens during the due to their shape, they were used to bake coal mined from the hills immediately to the west into coke delivered to the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company’s steel mill in Pueblo. From 1899 through 1903, 249 were built. The operation supported the mostly immigrant residents of the company town across the river. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993, the ovens are preserved in states ranging from partial restoration (top right) to ruins. (Editor's photos.)
