Title	Eldora Valley
Creator(s)	Kemp, Donald Campbell, 1889-1975.
Summary	The snow-capped peaks of the Continental Divide stand in the distance of this view of Eldora in Boulder County, Colorado. Eldora experienced its mining boom for about two years starting in 1897, when gold tellurides and sulphides were discovered on nearby Spencer Mountain. The town was initially called Eldorado, but its name was changed to prevent its being confused with Eldorado, California. The town was incorporated as Eldora on March 9, 1898.
