A logo of a company is the character of the organization which marks its unique identity. There are many competitors of your business around you very near but what really signifies you is your ou… Continue

H. Court Young AN IDEAL ONE DAY ATV TRIP OR FAMILY OUTING

AN IDEAL ONE DAY ATV TRIP OR FAMILY OUTING By H. Court Young I have found what I consider to be the ideal one day trip from Denver to test out your ATV. It is also a great a family outing or retreat. Warden Gulch, a tributary to Peru Creek, is just two hour’s drive from Denver west along Interstate 70 (I70). Peru Creek can be accessed by road in several ways. One is via I70 to Dillon exit #205, then east on Colorado Highway 6 to the Montezuma Road intersection. Another more scenic route from… Continue

H. Court Young Women in Mining Speech

I gave a talk about the Orphan Boy Mine at the March meeting of the Women in Mining group in Golden on March 18, 2009. I was given a warm welcome and enjoyed speaking about this small mine and my book The Orphan Boy, A Love Affair with Mining. Because our society thinks of mining as a male profession, we do not give credit to the many women who are involved in the industry. This group is paying tribute to the women whose contribution to this vital industry is critical. I appreciate and respect… Continue

What Readers are Saying about Orphan Boy, A Love Affair with Mining

"The Orphan Boy is a wonderful story that provides a glimpse at early mining and the contempory experiences of a family as they reopened a old mine. It's a fresh look at Colorado History and an intriging tale on modern day mining."
Chuck Digby

"Hi Mr. Young
Just finished reading your book and would like to tell you how much I enjoyed it. It is great to have such wonderful memories of your Dad and the times you shared at the mine. My background is in geology also and I did some mining in the San Juans about 35 years ago. I must admit it has always been a dream of mine to own a small mine such as the Orphan Boy where I could go play in the summer and relive my first love of mining and being underground. Maybe we could come out next summer and visit the Orphan Boy and possibly scrounge in the tailings for a day or two. It would be great to see the subject of the book. Are there still any small mines for sale around there?
Thanks again for the great reading. Hope to hear from you about a possible visit to the mine area.
Jeff Carnes
