The Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine is a historic vertical shaft mine near Cripple Creek, Colorado.[1] The mine shaft descends {{convert|1000|ft|m}} into the mountain, a depth roughly equal to the height of the Empire State Building in New York City.[2] The mine currently gives tours, and is visited by around 40,000 people annually.[3] The addition of the mines and subsequent tours of this mine and others in the area had considerable effect on the economies of both Victor, Colorado and Cripple Creek.[4][5][6]

History

The mine was started in 1891 on a mining claim staked by Mollie Kathleen Gortner, after whom the mine was named.[7][8]

Other than a government-ordered hiatus during World War II, the mine operated continuously until 1961; since then it has continued as a tourist attraction.[9]
