Built in 1906 by the Animas Power and Water Company, the building served as the main sub-station and distribution point for the power generated at Tacoma, 25 miles south of Silverton. In serious disrepair when donated to the Society in 1996, a $375,000 renovation and repair has just been completed. Known locally as the “Powerhouse,” it today houses Scotty Bob’s custom ski manufacturing and Fisher Woodworks. The Animas Power and Water Company was organized in Indianapolis, Indiana to serve the mines of the Silverton area. Prior to 1906, electric power at individual mine sites was generated by coal fired steam plants. When snow blockaded the railroad, coal supplies would run low, forcing the mines to close. The new power plant at Tacoma was a hydro-electric facility generating 6,000 horse power and feeding a 44,000 volt line up the Animas Canyon to the Silverton Sub- Station building. Here four large transformers dropped the voltage to 17,500 volts and sent it on to the mines. Such famous properties as the Silver Lake, Gold King, Gold Prince, Sunnyside, and Old Hundred were served by the system. Power costs dropped by 50% reducing mine operating costs and sparking a boom in mine development. An office and residence building was also built next to the “Powerhouse” and later a mule barn. Mules served as the “Jeeps” of the past, to maintain the lines strung up the gulches. Later the system became part of the larger Western Colorado Power Company and tied into their lines via Ophir Pass and Red Mountain Pass. In the 1930s and 1940s, Hammond Mathews was the local manager and introduced such innovations as the county’s first aluminum transmission line (to the Mayflower Mine) in 1941, and the suspended aerial lines up Cunningham and other gulches that eliminated poles in avalanche prone areas. By the mid-1950s, automatic sub-stations replaced the older manual technology inside the building, which became vacant. In 1959 Standard Metals Corporation bought the office and sub-station buildings for their headquarters and warehouse space. In 1988 the office was moved to become the present Silverton Visitor’s Center at the entrance to town on U.S. 550. Meanwhile the Powerhouse building continued to deteriorate. At the time the building and ten acre site was donated to the Society by Sunnyside Gold in 1996, the Powerhouse was in bad shape. Bricks were disintegrating and falling off the walls each winter. Water was seeping into the walls and the metal roof decking was rusting through. The Powerhouse Business Incubator Project was begun in 1999 to renovate the structure and put it back to use to help new business development in the county, whose economy was in tatters after the mine closed in 1991.

Now’s the time to help the Society:Join Today!

Dear Members:As I write today, I am listening to the sound of rain—and, boy do we

need it. It has been very dry and unseasonably warm—into the mid-70s. It isamazing how one good rain greens things up. The chokecherry tree at themuseum is in full bloom and smells heavenly. I am sure it is enjoying its nicedrink of water.

Board members Zeke Zanoni, Jerry Hoffer, and Scott Fetchenhier havebeen laboring on exhibits that interpret the fabulous mining history of theSan Juans in the Mining Heritage Center. Among them are a blacksmith’sshop, a “machine doctor’s” shop and a tram tower display. The detail inthese exhibits give the visitor a real feel for what the mining industry reallywas. Combined with the Old 100 Mine Tour and the Mayflower Gold MillTour, the Mining Heritage Center offers a world-class mining history attrac-tion. It is completely handicapped accessible, as is the Archive. We want tothank the USDA for funding half of the elevator. We still have many exhib-its to build so we are only partially open—the museum will not be finishedfor years, but that is how it works in a volunteer organization.

Next week local non-profits will be hosting funders for Philanthropy Daysin Southwest Colorado. This is a program to get funders, both private founda-tions and government, out of the Denver area and into rural Colorado everyfour years in hopes of raising their awareness about our issues and needs. Weare going to start at the Mining Heritage Center greeted by the famous Sil-verton Brass Band. The last time the funders visited, the Center was a bighole in the ground and a slide show by Zeke. It will be fun to show them theprogress we have made.

But, you know, dear members, the building that makes us our money—the old jail museum, has been neglected for years. Isn’t that the way it is—the carpenter lets his own house fall down? However, we got a grant to do aHistoric Structure Assessment of the building and armed with that, willapply to the State Historical Fund for funding to fix it up. I cringe every timeI look at the window sills when I walk in the door. Fixing up the basementwill allow us to move some exhibits around and free up some retail space. Inthese days of declining attendance, museum stores are becoming more andmore important.

We are having our 13th annual Cemetery Workday on June 17th from10 o’clock to noon. Then we take a sack lunch to Mary and Paul Beaber’syard at the Cotton House, Silverton’s oldest house, and listen to speakers.We have had a marking program for many years, working with the fine folksat Family Craft Memorials of Durango. For $100, Family Craft will make anice stone to mark an unmarked grave. Various people sponsor stones andwe set them during Cemetery Workday. It is one of the finest days of thesummer. For your information, the Historical Society has taken on handlingburials at the cemetery for the Town. If you have any questions about buri-als, call me or Freda Peterson at the Archive.

Elsewhere in these pages you will read about the guardian angel whobought the Yankee Girl head frame—that icon of the Red Mountain MiningDistrict, and you will read about the capital campaign for Caboose #17. Youwill also read about some of the almost finished projects like the Power-house and about some adventures that we are about to start—the Mill. Thereis never a dull moment when you are involved in the history business, isthere, dear members? And thanks to your support, we are preserving thehistory of a very special place.

Thank you.

Nestled between the old jailmuseum and Cement Creek is theArchive Building of the San JuanCounty Historical Society. Within itsconfines are a wealth of records whichshed light on the region’s past. Inaddition to newspapers and a variety ofofficial documents, a large volume ofphotographs and family historiesprovide concrete details about local lifeand particular people, going back to theearly days of Silverton’s history.

Among these holdings are asubstantial number of compact diskscontaining interviews with long-timeresidents. Several different interviewersare represented, but most were con-ducted by historian Allen Nossaman aspart of an oral history project. A few ofthe interviews were taken from recordedradio programs as well as other settings.

A goodly number occurred decadesago and featured residents then in theiradvanced years. Many had clearmemories of their earlier life as well ofevents told to them by their parents andgrandparents. While some were veryarticulate, in other cases memories werenot as clear and obviously somerecollections were less accurate. To listento these CDs is to experience a personalencounter with the details of Silverton’scolorful past.

Featured on the disks are prominentnames from families contributing toSilverton’s growth: Bawden, Berquist,Cole, Dalla, Doud, Giacomelli,Glanville, Landry, Loftus, Lorenzon,Maffei, Matties, McNamara, Patterson,Pitcher, Plantz, Rice, Scheer, Schmalz,Sutherland, Todeschi, Van Bocken, andothers.

The myriad of topics include:Growing Up in Silverton, Mining in the

San Juans, Mountain RoadConstruction and Maintenance,Railroading in the San Juans, GeneralReflections, Silverton Homes, andthe Sunnyside and Eureka.

The Archive has arranged tohave these early accounts transcribedto CDs and in a number of cases hasduplicate CDs. These duplicates arebeing offered for sale for the priceof $25.00 each. When the interviewtakes two disks, these go for $45.Purchases may be arranged bycontacting the Archive of theHistorical Society at Box 154,Silverton, Colorado 81433.

This is an opportunity to hear inone’s own home or car, witnesses ofan era that otherwise can only be readabout. These indelible voices addreality and personality to invaluabledescriptions, all the while directlylinking us to our community’s pastand its people.

New T-Shirt Added to Fund Raising ProgramD&RG Caboose #17 was built in

1880. By 1895 the Caboose was beingleased to the Silverton Railroad, ownedby Otto Mears, for 30 cents per day.At this time Mears was building thenew Silverton Northern Railroad toEureka from Silverton.

In October 1895 the Silverton Rail-road Company purchased the caboosefrom the D&RG for $350.00. There isno record of the car being renumberedfor the Silverton Railroad and it wasprobably purchased for use on the Sil-verton Northern. Later the car waslisted as Silverton Northern caboose#1005.

Unlike similar D&RG cars, fewstructural modifications were made tothe car since the Silverton Northernwas not required to adopt certain safetyimprovements required of the D&RG.It therefore retained its distinctiveoriginal cupola design and side win-dows. This car is unique as it is theoldest surviving D&RG caboose andis one of only two that retain the origi-

nal body and cupola style. In 2004,the Society was awarded a $7000grant to conduct a Historic StructureAssessment on the caboose.

The HSA was done by RayLudwig, foreman of the car shop atthe Durango & Silverton NarrowGauge Railroad. He determined thatit will take approximately $75,000 torestore it. We are planning to applyfor funding from the State HistoricalFund, but that requires a 25% match,so we will have to raise $18,750. Lastsummer we started a capital cam-paign to do just that by selling a t-shirt designed by member DonKramer. We have already raised$4,200. As a fund-raiser for the ca-boose this year, Don has designed acompanion shirt featuring CaseyJones. We are planning one printingfor this t-shirt, so it will really be acollector’s item. It sells for $15.00 +$3.00 shipping—buy your t-shirt nowand help us restore Colorado’s old-est caboose!

The Shenandoah-Dives MillHAER and Historic Structure As-sessment Workshop took place lastsummer. The workshop was a uniqueand exceptional undertaking in theUnited States, uniting materials sci-entists, industrial archeologists, geolo-gists, architectural historians, and ex-perts in Historic American Engineer-ing Recordation techniques fromacross the US, toward a concertedeffort to document and preserve thehistory and fabric of our Shenandoah-Dives Mill complex.

The workshop was the direct re-sult of a partnership between the So-ciety and Silverton Restoration Con-sulting and was sponsored by NCPTT(National Center for PreservationTraining and Technology), the Na-tional Park Service’s Department ofHAER (Historic American Engineer-ing Record), the National Trust andthe J. Paul Getty Trust. The workshopwas held at the Mountain StudiesInstitute’s headquarters at the historicAvon Hotel and other venues includ-ing the Mill site in mid-August.

Topics covered during the work-shop included: Historic American En-gineering Recordation (HAER) draw-ing typology, photogrammetry, laserscanning, total station laser mapping,large format photography, HistoricAmerican Landscape Survey, GIScultural data collection, historic re-search, principals of stabilization andpreservation, developing a HistoricStructure Assessment, building foren-sics, and seminars on the historic de-velopment of the mining and millingprocess within a regional and nationalcontext. The mill will be the casestudy resource for this high tech studyin historic documentation.

Owned and operated as an inter-pretive museum by the Society, themill is listed as a National HistoricLandmark. The mill provides an ex-traordinary vision of the developmentof ore processing mills in the first halfof this century. The mill’s buildings,technology, and collection of equip-ment have scarcely changed since itwas built, presenting a striking andrare case of an early twentieth cen-tury flotation mill.

Constructed in 1929, theShenandoah-Dives Mill was designedfor milling metals from low-grade goldore. At the time of construction themill was considered state-of-the-art,with the most modern mining andmilling equipment available.

Prominent features of the millcomplex include the mill, crushingplant, office/assay building, tailingsponds, tram terminal, and aerial tram-way which connects to theShenandoah-Dives Mine.

David Singer, Principal at Silver-

ton Restoration Consulting, a firmthat specializes in historic buildingrestoration, and his wife JulieColeman-Singer, Heritage Team LeadArchaeologist for the BLM and For-est Service Public Lands Office inDurango, Colorado, organized theworkshop in partnership with BevRich, Chairman of the San JuanCounty Historical Society.

The Washington, D.C.-based Na-tional Park Service HAER Team, ledby Senior Historian RichardO’Connor, spent the week in Silver-ton finalizing their documentation ofthe mill complex and participating inthe various seminars on the technol-ogy they employeed for the project.

Historic Landscape Architect,Cari Goetcheus of Clemson Univer-sity and Diedre McCarthy, GIS spe-cialist with the NPS presented semi-nars on HALS standards and fieldimplementation.

Materials scientist DaveWoodham of Atkinson-Noland andwood scientist, Ron Anthony of An-thony and Associates, presentedground-breaking Non-DestructiveTesting (NDT) technology, in hands-on examinations of wood, stone, andconcrete.

Bruce Bartleson, retired head ofthe Geology Department at WesternState College provided a seminar onthe mineral deposits of the San Juanregion, and industrial archeologistsJohn Horn and Eric Twitty led a fieldsession to the Silver Lake Mining dis-trict where much of the ore processedat the mill was mined.

NPS photographer Jet Lowe pre-sented a seminar discussion and on-site presentations of Large FormatPhotography and photographic stan-dards, and Dana Locket, NPS archi-tect presented hands-on laser andAutoCad based documentation tech-nology.

An evening lecture series, opento the public, was held during theweek. Singer said that the list of stu-dents at the 2005 Workshop was al-most as impressive as the presenters,including the Architect for MesaVerde National Park, and other re-gional stewards of publicly ownedCultural Resources like the San JuanMountains Association, Colorado,Wyoming and Alaska Bureau of LandManagement and Forest Service per-sonnel, and Alpine Archeology, aMontrose-based consulting firm.

“We’re trying to establish a com-munity based educational experience,bringing the top consultants in thefield of historic preservation to sharetheir knowledge, and focus on the SanJuan’s incredible mining and architec-tural heritage,” said Singer.

The Red Mountain Task Force isthrilled to announce that the iconYankee Girl head frame has beensaved. Montrose County CoronerMark Young and his wife Mary boughtthe head frame and 23 acres of landbetween Silverton and Ouray on theSan Juan Skyway.

Very visible from the U. S. High-way 550, the head frame has becomethe icon of the Red Mountain Project,a project which put 3000 acres of pri-vate property into public ownership.Its former owner, Frank Baumgartner,

threatened to bulldoze the head frameif he wasn’t paid 10 million dollars. Helater tore down and burned the historicKohler boardinghouse, near the Yan-kee Girl.

Mr. and Mrs. Young plan to put theYankee Girl and adjoining propertyinto a conservation easement. Thehead frame is on the verge of collapseso the Task Force will do some emer-gency stabilization work this summerusing funds from the Gates Founda-tion and the Colorado Division of Min-erals and Geology.

Important Landmark Saved

Our Museum is a TreasureOne of my favorite moments is

to find people waiting outside, earlyon a beautiful Silverton morning,when I come to open our old historicwhite door. They are alwaysenthusiastic, especially if they aresome of our many repeat museumvisitors. They get more appreciativeof what we display as they move onthrough the building. We previouslynoted the great popularity of theauthentic early telephoneswitchboard.

But for now, it is time to sing thepraises of some of our other visitorfavorites. In the kitchen, sitting on theold coal-fired cook stove, is an oldcan, intact and filled, with Campbell’sPrune Soup. Our visitors can be heardlaughing and talking about it all the

way back out to the front door. Theyare trying to guess its year ofappearance with speculations on itslack of success on the soup market.(An occasional person wouldn’t mindtrying a sip of it.)

Across the back wall in the kitchenis a large Rube Goldberg sort ofcontraption. You remember, it lookslike a giant version of an apple peeler.We have traditionally thought it mightbe a potato peeler because of its sizeand the strange cutting blade. But lastsummer, a visitor with a gleam in hiseye, sought to prove to us that it is acorn cob “de-kerneler,” used tomechanically take the corn off the cob.Maybe so!

Come in this summer and point outyour “favorites.”
