PROFESSOR E. C. LINDEMANN, Geologist
and Manager of the Little Louise Mine, Leadville, Lake County, Colorado

Ernest
C. Lindemann, a Pennsylvania native, arrived in Colorado in 1870, and
went to work as a mineralogist, geologist, and mining engineer in Black
Hawk, Central City, Georgetown, Breckenridge and other early Colorado
Territorial mining districts.
Lindemann was
educated at the School of Mines in Strasbourg, Germany, graduated in
1849; and then, in 1856 went off to explore Alaska. He traveled
that territory for over a year and a half, going as far as a 1,000 miles
north of the lower Yukon. During this time, his practical
experience made him highly suited for the silver and gold fields of
Colorado, where he intended to move.

| In
the mid-1890s, Lindemann had the opportunity to manage the Little Louise
Mine on the north side of Evans Gulch, between the Ball Mountain and
Weston faults, on Prospect Mountain, in the Leadville Mining
District. He embraced this position with his usual optimism
and passion. Under Lindemann's supervision, the Little Louise
showed increased productivity; however, the property was never to be a
Little Pittsburgh.
Lindemann lived
in Denver for a number of years, and had an office at 1559 Emerson in
1896; and then, at 3146 Gilpin in 1905. He moved to the City of
Boulder in 1906 and took up residence at 2473 20th with his wife,
Louise. There, he worked as a mining engineer, having in his
background successful mining ventures in South America, Australia, and
South Africa. While in Boulder, he practiced his care of animals
by becoming an agent of the State Humane Society, often working for
free.
E. C. Lindemann
had these special glasses made for him to promote his Little Louise Mine
enterprise. They are unique, artistically made, and in fine
condition. They are unique items representing the illustrious
mining history of Leadville and Colorado.
