comprehensive
treatment
of
the
smelting
industry
of
Colorado,
originally
published
in
1979,
is
now
back
in
print
with
a
new
preface
by
the
author.
Packed
with
fascinating
statistics
and
mining
data,Ores
to
Metalsdetails
the
people,
technologies,
and
business
decisions
that
have
shaped
the
smelting
industry
in
the
Rockies.
Although
mining
holds
more
of
the
glamour
for
those
in
and
interested
in
the
minerals
industry,
smelters
have
continuously
played
a
critical
role
in
the
industry’s
evolution
since
their
introduction
in
Colorado
in
the
1860s.
At
that
time,
miners
desperately
needed
new
technology
to
recover
gold
and
silver
from
ores
resistant
to
milling.
Beginning
as
small
independent
enterprises,
progressing
to
larger
integrated
firms
working
in
urban
centers,
and
finally
following
a
trend
toward
mergers,
the
entire
industry
was
absorbed
into
one
large
holding
company—the
American
Smelting
and
Refining
Company.
Over
time,
fortunes
were
won
and
lost,
business
success
was
converted
to
political
success,
and
advances
were
made
in
science
and
metallurgy.
Drawing
on
archival
material,
Fell
expertly
presents
the
triumphs
and
troubles
of
the
entrepreneurs
who
built
one
of
the
great
industries
of
the
West.
