Mount, Minerals North Section Supervisor <br />RE: ossible Illegal Mining in E1 Paso County <br />While out on inspections in Elbert County on October 30, 1995, <br />Christina Kamnikar and I noticed a gravel pit in E1 Paso County <br />which appears to be unpermitted. Joe Craven of Elbert County Road <br />& Bridge (Simla section) stated that E1 Paso County claimed to be <br />widening the road in this location, however, this site appeared to <br />be too large and too well-excavated to be a case of road cutting. <br />You may want someone from the south team check out this site. <br />To get to the site, take Elbert County Road 86 to Highway 24 <br />through Simla, then go south on Road 125 for three miles (two miles <br />south of the Elbert/E1 Paso county line). The pit is next to the <br />west side of the road, on top of a hill. (See attached map) <br />COLORADO <br />
