Silver Creek, Colorado

Silver Creek is a mining ghost town in Clear Creek County, Colorado, USA. The town never had a post office of its own, but received its mail via the Lawson post office.〔Aldrich, John K. (1984) "Silver Creel" ''Ghosts of Clear Creek County: a guide to the ghost towns and mining camps of Clear Creek County, Colorado'' Centennial Graphics, Lakewood, Colorado, page 30, 〕 The town is only accessible via unimproved road. Most of the mines were located upstream from the town.
==History==
Originally known as Daileyville after James Dailey, a local mine manager, the inhabitants soon changed the name to Silver Creek after the local stream〔According to William Bright in ''Colorado Place Names'' (page 163 ), there are eighteen streams in Colorado known at one time or another as "Silver Creek".〕 that flows into Clear Creek near Lawson.〔 The town was first settled around 1875 when silver ore deposits〔For the geological context see Tooker, E.W. (1963) ''Altered Wallrocks in the Central Part of the Front Range Mineral Belt, Gilpin and Clear Creek Counties, Colorado'' (Geological Survey professional paper 439) U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, Government Printing Office, Washington, DC, , especially (page 31 ) on Biotite-Muscovite Granite and Microcline-Quartz-Plagioclase-Biotite Gneiss.〕 were discovered in the area; however, it was not officially incorporated until 1885.〔Krupar, Joseph J., Jr., "The Ghost Town of Silver Creek: A Remnant of the Clear Creek Silver Boom" ''Colorado Heritage'' (Summer 2002): pp. 16–21〕 The mines that supported the town were mostly closed after the 1893 silver crash, but reopened with the demand for metals leading up to and during World War I. The boom did not last, and by 1922 most of the mines were again closed. Among the biggest producers was the Nabob Mine,〔Not to be confused with the Nabob on Pine Creek in Idaho.〕 where a new shaft was sunk in 1906.〔"The Mines:Colorado: Clear Creek County" ''Ore and Metals'' March 1, 1906, (page 19 )〕
The town struggled on for a while, with the last inhabitants leaving during the Depression. By the 1970s only an old mill and a few building foundations made of stone were left.〔
