Alva Adams patented the Guadalupe group on Cornwall mountain and paid taxes on the claims for 25 years. Names a gold strike at Gilmore.
The clipping that explains who owned the ground. During the 1880s Alva Adams and others made discoveries of rich gold ore on Cornwall mountain at Jasper and located a large number of claims known as the Guadalupe group. When associates died and other interests absorbed his attention the camp was abandoned, but Adams considered the claims valuable enough to patent them and pay taxes on them for twenty five years.
By 1913 those properties had been leased and were to be worked as soon as the snow went off. A separate deal had been made on the Miser properties by Cripple Creek people, and the paper states that some of the richest pockets of gold ore ever found in the state have been taken from the Miser tunnel.
Two details are worth flagging. The mine is spelled Miser here and Mizer in the Monte Vista Journal seven weeks later, so both spellings appear in the record. And the piece attributes the renewed interest in the whole district to a rich gold strike at Gilmore, which is the earliest mention of Gilmore the museum has found in print.
