Prospectors panned for gold in the stream that ran through California Gulch in what became the town of Oro City (oro is the Spanish word for gold).

Prospectors traced the cerussite to its source, present daylight Leadville, and by 1876 had discovered several silver-lead lode deposits. As the gold has been tapped out of the gulch and attention was averted to easy to attain to Leadville, a mile or two away, Oro City became a ghost town.
