Notes: Purchase; Carol M. Highsmith Photography, Inc.; 2015; (DLC/PP-2015:068).; Forms part of: Gates Frontiers Fund Colorado Collection within the Carol M. Highsmith Archive.; Credit line: Gates Frontiers Fund Colorado Collection within the Carol M. Highsmith Archive, Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division.; Title, date and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.; Many buildings still stand in Crystal, but its handful of residents live there only in the summer. Crystal was incorporated in 1881 but mined as early as the 1860s. At its peak, Crystal had more than 400 residents in town and the surrounding mining claims, two newspapers, a pool hall, a men's club, a barber shop and two hotels. By 1915, only eight people lived there after the silver, lead, copper, iron, and zinc mines played out. Tourists and photographers often take Jeep tours up to Crystal from Marble, just to see the quaint Crystal Mill, which is actually an early, crude compressor site that used the rushing Crystal River to power various mining machinery in the high valley.
