Central City Colorado is an old goldmining town about 40 from Denver. Rich in history and now home to many casinos, museums Art galleries and more. Please see my other videos for more information. Here is the info of what is written in front. This locomotive was built in December 1896, by the locomotive works in Philadelphia for Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf Railway. The locomotive was given the number 9 on receipt and placed into service on Clear Creek lines.It was renumbered 71 two years later when the Colorado and Southern Railway was formed. Rail service was provided from Golden to Central City from 1878 to 1927. The route ran along Clear Creek, much of it on what is now the hyway Locomotive 71, one of the most powerful locomotives owned by the C&S ran both Clear Creek and South Park lines. It made its last run up the canyon to Black Hawk on April 10, 1941, and was then hauled by truck the rest of the way to Central City. Locomotive 71 is now owned by the City of Central.

This is the spot where John H Gregory discovered the first gold lode in Colorado before it was a state or even a territory on May 6,1859. Gold was discovered in the Denver area of Cherry Creek but Gregory knew there was a source. He learned gold mining skills from his Father growing up in Georgia. His first attempt in April of 1859 got stopped by a big snow storm. He went back to a small settlement in the Cherry Creek area of Denver and put together a team. This video shows the monument in honor of the discovery which was called the Gregory Diggings then later Mountain City and is now right on the border of Black Hawk and Central City Colorado. There is a walking museum of buildings that I show the map. The Red Dolly Casino is right next to the little park. This was the start of the Pikes Peak gold rush of 1859. Over 30,000 people came to this area to find their fortune. Please see my other videos for more information or contact me at abrey08@yahoo.com Please like, share and subscribe!

On May 6, 1859 John H Gregory discovered the first gold lode in Colorado before it was a state or even a territory. At that time it was the extended territory of Kansas. On May 19, 1859 Captain William Bates of the United States Army paid Gregory $200 to find the second gold lode. This video is of the Gregory Gulch II and in the distance you can see the Becker Bates Mine. Theodore Becker came here in 1860 and started buying up claims on the Bates Lode. It remained in his family for three generations. He had a son named Henry Becker. Henry and Eliza Becker had a son and named him Theodore. They generally leased out the mine but would never give out written leases. For that reason the mine never was fully mined to great depths. The maps I have show the bottom to be 525 feet. I leased it out and there is a lot going on with repairing the building and the old timbers. Back to the history...since Kansas was an agricultural state they did not have mining laws. For that reason Gregory and two thousand men sat on this hill called Bates Hill and wrote the mining laws. Many of those laws are in place today as the foundation for mining. This spot about halfway between Black Hawk and Central City. There are plenty of things to do here between hiking casinos and museums. The historic Central City Opera House is here as well as the Gilpin County Arts Association. The Madem Lou Brunch bed races are just one of the summer events in August. The new Levit Street Market is now open on Sundays. If you would like to see still images you can visit http:// Coloradojohnny.com.
