Acutally, there were many mininig towns surrounding Leadville, some close by and small and some rather large. Kokomo, Carbonateville, Adelide Park, Dayton or Twin Lakes, Malta, Stumpftown, Ibex City and many more, many people moved to Red Cliff and Aspen. Some people lived up at the mines they worked for, in boarding houses. They wouldn't have been in the Leadville City Directories. He could have gone anywhere. You can try: www.coloradohistoricnewspapers.org You can search old newspapers from all over Colorado. Good Luck. Janice P.S. We had a fund raiser at the Tabor Opera House last week. I presented a slide show on Historic Leadville. We raised around four thousand dollars. The money will all go to digitize more of our own historic newspapers.
