Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Mary M. Marks (also called Lennie or Lena) was an amatuer photographer who married John H Marks in 1894, a mining and civil engineer. Mary followed her husband on various mining projects in Colorado. She was born in Wisconsin to German parents in 1862. There is no evidence that she was a professional photographer beyond these images of the Oro Grande and Gold Pan mining companies. She did not appear to have any children. Mary and John were living in Denver Colorado in 1941.
John Marks (born in 1859 in Oregon) worked as a mining, civil, and railroad engineer mostly in Colorado, but also in New Mexico, Nevada, and Wyoming from the 1890s to the 1940s. In addition to his work on the Oro Grande and Gold Pan, he was also involved with the Red Mountain Gold and Silver Mining Company, the Hagerman Development Company, the Gallegos and Bueyeros Reservoirs in New Mexico, the Fortune Placer Mines, and the Pioneer Irrigation Company of Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska. He began his career as a US Deputy Mineral Surveyor in Aspen, Colorado.
Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Oro Grande Placer Mining Company started in the Blue River Valley of Colorado on 2000 acres of riverbed and gravel. The Gold Pan Mining Company was located in Breckenridge Colorado and operated from 1902-1904. Dredge mining was meant to be the method for excavation. However, the mine was not as profitable as originally expected. Mary Marks was the company photographer and John H Marks was the mining engineer. The pit for this mine took two years to build, and operated for a little over two years. For both companies, the lack of water, which was needed to mine the gold, during winter as well as a lack of gold to pay for operations eventually led to the closing of both mines. There were, however, some innovative hydraulic features which were later acquired by the Summit County Power Company.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The Mary M. Marks photograph collection consists of approximately 301 glass plate negatives (with modern paper prints) and 24 prints without negatives. The images are from the Oro Grande Placer Mine and the Gold Pan Mining Company and include mining pits, dredges, flumes, and various other mining operations. Other images are of railroad depots and homes in Summit County Colorado (Breckenridge and Dillon), as well as the Snake River. Also included are photographs of Mary Marks's friends especially Allice Miller, Kate Schwalbach, and Mary's husband John H Marks. Also part of the ecollection are two oversize boxes with maps and engineering plans for different mines and portions of Colorado. Some of her photographs were used in mining prospectus publications. She documented the mining, prospecting, and machinery, but also focused on artistic and aesthetic elements of the photography and included men and women in her photographs of the Colorado mining. In her photography, Mary Marks climbed to the top of observation platforms, and down into the mining pits. Some photographs were taken with a 4x5 view camera while others were taken with a larger frame. From what is known, Marks did not label the negatives themselves, but would label their envelopes and coverings.
