Excerpt from Geology and Ore Deposits of the Platoro-Summitville Mining District: Colorado
San Luis valley. It forms a small part of the Rio Grande National Forest. The area covered is something over fifty square miles.
Four mining camm lie within the district under consideration. These are Pl atoro, Summitville, Stunner, and Jasper. Platoro, situated on the Conejos river, lies in the southeast corner; Summit ville in the extreme northwest, and Jasper in the extreme north east corners of the mapped area. About midway between Platoro and Summitville is Stunner, located on the Alamosa river. All of these camps have been the scene of considerable prospecting and development work in the years past, and a number of mines of considerable extent have been opened, but only in the Summitville district have extensive shipments of ore occurred.
