Mining Is Centennial Le Resume Theme A MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR Cindy Pasquale Miners had been scouting the hills of what would become Chaffee County for several years when Colorado became a state Aug. 1, 1876. Ranchers and a few farmers followed on the heels of fortune seekers and settled in the Arkansas Valley and other park areas before county status in 1879. With Colorado celebrating its Centennial and the United States noting a 200 year birth- day, Le Resume assumed a min- ing theme commemorating early years of Chaffee County in addition to recording the 1975- 76 school year. The book was enlarged by eight pages and staff artist Jeff Stanton sketched cover artwork more than a year ago. The Le Resume miner moves through each of the four high country seasons as he lives a lonely existance high in a valley near Salida. With a poke full of placer gold, our miner heads for a nearby town to deposit his wealth. The sequence is sym- bolic of seniors here who leave to add four years of accumu- lated wealth to that of the world. Seniors, like the miner, will never forget where they staked claim to a wealth of knowledge. The town we used for the miner’s emergence from the hills is Turret, with some artis- tic liberty, but it could be any of a score of little towns which have disappeared. Hope is an underlying theme. Students hope for successful, prosperous, happy lives when they leave Salida High School. Hope was what led miners from the placer gold of creek beds to search the hills for lode gold and bigger riches. A turn of the century promo- tional picture for the Holdredge Tunnel in the Turret-Cameron Mining District northeast of Salida represents hope then and now. At the right the headframe of the Gold Bug mine, one of the first at Turret, reminds of the ups and downs of life. Unlike the Holdredge which never did much, the Gold Bug kept hopes up with pockets of high grade ore and miners went down nearly 700 feet before they gave it up. Old timers say the Mother Lode awaits dis- covery here - will it be some- one from the Centennial class of 1976 who discovers these or other riches? Certainly the year included ups and downs similar to those experienced by miners and Le Resume has recorded them, and added four pages of local Cen- tennial activity completed by May, 1976. The Summer of 1976 promises many more Colo- rado birthday activities.
