  • THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published Bi-Monthly by the State Historical Society of Colorado
    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published bi-monthly by The State Historical Society of Colorado Vol. XXIV Denver, Colorado, November, 1947 No. 6 A History of Mining Machinery Manufacture in Colorado* ELLSWORTH C. MITICK Man is forever seeking speed and short-cuts in his desire to produce from the minerals of the earth commodities which may pro­ vide him with more comfortable modes of living. The visitor to the Colorado School of Mines campus at Golden, Colorado, sees there a large arastra,1 or quartz crusher, an example of man's primitive efforts to speed up one step in the process of extracting minerals from the ores which bear them. True, the speed of the arastra, similar in design to the pharmacist's mortar and pestle, is only suited to the ''man to whom a day is as a thousand years, or vice­ versa,' '2 but the realization that machines, no matter how crude, in­ crease productive capacity and create more ease in the process spurs the inventive mind to design constantly better tools of manu­ facture. This thesis is written to show the part various men and com­ panies have played in Colorado in producing tools for the mining industry, so that mining methods might advance here in spite of great distances from Eastern centers of manufacture or inade­ quacies of such equipment for the peculiarities of Colorado mines. Much of this story is forever lost because of the large number of its characters who have died without setting down in writing, or relating to friends and relatives, the incidents of their lives which frame the nineteenth century portion of this picture.

  • David H. Moffat, Jr
    David H. Moffat, Jr. Presentation by Larry Ralston [email protected] July 22, 1839 David Halliday Moffat, Jr. was born in Washingtonville, New York. He was the youngest of David and Eleanor Cutter Moffat’s 8 children. His father owned a grist mill and mercantile. The Scots- Irish Moffat family migrated to New York from Ireland in 1729. Grandfather Samuel Moffat founded Washingtinville after participating in the American Revolution. 1851-55 At age 12, Moffat went to New York City and started as a messenger boy with the New York Exchange Bank in the burgeoning commercial and financial district of the city. He gained valuable experience and rapid promotions, the last being to Assistant Teller. 1855 Older brother Samuel moved to Des Moines, Iowa; David followed. David went to work for A. J. Stevens and Company as a teller for the private banking firm involved in farm lending and speculation. The slightly speculative style Moffat learned with this firm became the mark of his later career in Omaha and Denver. 1856 B. F. Allen, head of another Des Moines banking house, hired Moffat. Allen brought in new partners at the Des Moines operation. Allen and Moffat went to Omaha to establish the Bank of Nebraska. By the end of 1857 Moffat held property valued at over one million dollars. 1858 Panic of 1857 reached Omaha and the real estate bubble burst. Moffat and the bank went broke. He spent a year trying to untangle the financial chaos of the bank. He did manage to pay off most of the creditors by liquidating assets, but first he distributed a profit to stockholders.

McCLUNG '~ To date Colorado bas had thirty-three governors serving both the Territory ancl the State. Onr first to hold office was Robert W . Steele who was elected to head the locally formed Provisional Ter­ ritory of Jefferson in 1859. When in 1861 Colorado Territory came into existence by an act of Congress, Governor Steele gave place to Governor Gilpin, who had been appointed by President Lincoln. From then until Colorado became a state in 1876 the office was appointive. John Long Routt, who was the last of the appointees, became the first of those to be elected by the citizens in 1876. In the table on page 99 is given a list of Colorado's governors, their places of birth, etc. The problem of 'rnrking out the geJJealogies of our governors by means of the materials in the Denver Public Library and the State Historical Society has been an interesting one. Correspond­ ence has been resorted to as well, but in some cases only the most meagre information could be secured. The results present the typical picture of the family streams that pour into a pioneer community such as ours was, even in the memory of persons now living. Ocldly enough, none of the men 1Yho held the highest office in the gift of the state were in any way related to the earlier groups of settlers who entered the area.

Some have arrived at Old Colorado City, southwest of Colorado Springs; some came by way of the Arkansas River, arriving at Fountain City, now part of Pueblo; some arrived in what is now Denver; some arrived far north of Denver, having followed the South Platte River. Many were walking or guiding slow- moving animals. The view to the south from downtown Denver, on a clear day, reveals the magnificent peak, but it is 70 miles away. From Pueblo County, the view northward is nearly as distant, both very impressive walks from Denver, with or without teams of animals.
