Smuggler Silver Mine, View from the West, Aspen, Colorado, September, 1992
The largest silver nugget ever mined, weighing nearly one ton, came from the Smuggler in 1894. With the repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act in 1893, most mines in Colorado closed, but the Smuggler continued production off and on to the present day. Not surprisingly tours of the mine bring in more income than current silver production. A patch of sunlight highlites a distant view of the Smuggler mine site on Smuggler Mountain in the northeast part of the City of Aspen. Those familiar with Aspen will quickly recognize the white roof and steeple of St. Mary’s church in the lower left portion of the frame. The large number of preserved wooden structures at this site provides numerous photographic opportunities. Taken on Kodak film with a Hasselblad 500C medium format camera equipped with a Carl Zeiss Planar 100mm f3.5 lens.
