Hardcover. Condition: Good. Quarter leather binding with advertisements printed on front and rear boards. Heavy dampstaining to bottom edge of boards causing heavy chipping and affecting content. Boards have moderate soiling. Text block has light soiling and page 215 has a 5" tear. Overall good. This rare directory comes from th…e period when Leadville was Colorado's second most populous city after Denver. The 1880s were a period of prosperity in Leadville and this directory is testament to that. The 1879 silver boom brought prospectors and merchants back to Leadville and a handful of people made their fortunes there. Horace Tabor was silver magnate and at the time of this publication was Lieutenant Governor of Colorado; his name is featured on page 280. At the beginning of the directory there is a list of mining and milling companies, and there are about 25pp of advertisements from Leadville businesses (one of which is printed on bright pink paper). ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 343 pp.

Contact seller5-star sellerA scarce early directory of mining and milling companies in Colorado, put together by Thomas B. Corbett the year before he began his long-running series of city directories for Denver and Leadville. The directory is prefaced by a "brief" history and description of Colorado, which begins with the Louisiana Purchase and continues…to the date of publication, paying particular attention to business fortunes and mining. The introduction also contains brief essays on stock-growing, agriculture, geography, climate, tourism, schools, and more. The directory of mining companies proper begins on page sixty-nine, and is organized alphabetically by county. Each county and each mining company is named and supplied with brief details including date and location of organization, mine locations, and capacity. Where possible, Corbett also names owners and describes the size and pitch of the mineral veins worked by each company. The numerous printed advertisements are primarily for manufacturing equipment, land, or railways. This copy contains the bookplate of John J. Ford Jr., an expert in numismatics who amassed a legendary collection of coins and medals. A thoroughly detailed view of Colorado's mining concerns in the early days of statehood. WYNAR 3303. WILCOX, p.33. LINGENFELTER CO:1493. Publisher's blue cloth, stamped in blind and gilt, gilt seal of Colorado on front board. Spine ends fraying, some shelf wear. Bookplate on front pastedown (see below). Light scattered foxing, pp.235-238 beginning to come free. Overall very good.

The earliest Leadville directory appeared just the year before, published by the Daily Times Steam Print of Denver. Thomas…Corbett, W.C. Hoye, and John Ballenger write that they were inspired to produce this directory "to convince the most skeptical of the rapid growth and commercial importance of this wonderful city." The next year, Hoye left the partnership, and the subsequent seven issues were produced by Corbett and Ballenger. Full of particulars on local businesses, including merchants, banks, lumber yards, wagon makers, newspapers, photographers, mining firms, railroads, etc., as well as the occupations and addresses of the residents. The advertisement for the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad includes a small map of that route. Leadville was Colorado's most noted mining town, here at the peak of its silver production. This copy bears the ownership inscriptions of John W. O'Brien, who ran the law practice Jerome & O'Brien with J.L. Jerome, one of over one hundred law offices listed in Leadville for this year.

Contact seller5-star sellerThirteen issues of the Leadville City Directory spanning the turn of the 20th century. Thomas Corbett, W.C. Hoye, and John Ballenger published their first directory in 1880, noting that they were inspired to produce a directory ".to convince the most skeptical of the rapid growth and commercial importance of this wonderful city.…" The next year, Hoye left the partnership, and the subsequent seven issues were produced by Corbett and Ballenger. Corbett then left and Ballenger partnered with W.H. Richards to publish the directory for nearly thirty years, until Richards became the sole publisher in 1917. The directory ceased publication in 1918. Each directory is full of particulars on local businesses, including merchants, banks, lumber yards, wagon makers, newspapers, photographers, mining firms, railroads, etc., as well as the occupations and addresses of the residents. Leadville was Colorado's most noted mining town, here at the peak of its silver production. Due to the Denver Depression of 1893 and the Cloud City Miners' Union strike of 189697, the Directory was not issued in 1893 and 1896. In an introductory note to the 1897 issue, Ballenger & Richards remark: "The publication of the Leadville City Directory for the year 1896 was omitted in consequence of the recent labor troubles.which of necessity would bring about such a change in the inhabitants of the city as to render the directory of little service to our patrons.It should be taken as an evidence of the sustainability of our mining interests.to see that we have overcome the attendant evils of this unfortunate affair, as well as that of the panic of 1893, either of which would have wiped out of existence a mining city less fortunately situated."
