One of the richest discoveries in the area was made in 1882 by a prospector named John Robinson, and that claim was developed into the Yankee Girl Mine. One of only three vertical-shaft mines in the area, the Yankee Girl ore was so rich that it was shipped directly to the smelter. Today the mine is easily reached over a 1-mile rough road, and it is a very picturesque relic of Colorado's history.
