Excerpt from Report of Progress in the Geological Resurvey of the Cripple Creek District, Colorado, 1904 Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith the manuscript of a preliminary report on a "Resurvey of the Cripple Creek district of Colorado," by Messrs. Waldemar Lindgren and F. L. Ransome, under my general supervision. Although only ten years had elapsed since a careful study of the geology of this district was made by Messrs. Cross and Penrose, the people of Colorado had been so strongly impressed with the economic importance of a scientific examination of the ground opened by mining operations during that period, that they urgently requested this resurvey and have materially assisted in its execution. The present report, made in advance of the final laboratory examinations, is a summary of those facts that bear upon the economic development of the region and are of immediate importance to the miners. I therefore request that it le published with the least possible delay, that its results may be promptly available to all interested in the region.
