It is also recognized as the last <br /> of the great gold producing mines in Colorado, and is renowned worldwide <br /> for its production, longevity, and for its gold bearing formations and <br /> intricate vein structures. Numerous books have been written about the <br /> mine, one of the most recent being "Silverton Gold" by Mr. Allan Bird (see <br /> attached copy of cover page) . <br /> The Sunnyside mine is a potential National historic landmark, and it <br /> should not be destroyed by sealing the portals and flooding the mine. It <br /> should be preserved intact, so that it can be studied or possibly reopened <br /> at a later date when it can again become a source of revenue for San Juan <br /> county and a major employer of San Juan county residents. <br /> As a tax payer and property owner in San Juan county, I respectfully <br /> ask that your Board not force permanent closure of the portals, and thus <br /> destruction of the valuable and most famous Sunnyside mine. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> f <br /> ed P.
