Salida, CO Elks Lodge Collection The Elks Club in Salida, Colorado housed a display of several diverse mineral suites from Leadville, Bisbee, the Tri-State district and others, many with historic labels affixed to the specimens. The club decided to dispose of the collection, and we bought it this spring (2014).

A nice rich slab of silver and acanthite from Aspen. There is no telling which mine this is from, but it strikes me as most likely from the Smuggler.
