NOTES: Eugene STEVENS was quite prominent as an Assayer / Chemist in the
Georgetown, Leadville area and worked for American Smelting in Leadville. About
1907, he and his second wife, Ino moved to Boulder County, Colorado, where he
developed a Tungsten Camp in Boulder Canyon below the Barker Dam at Nederland,
Colorado. It was originally named " Stevens Camp " and later changed to "
Tungsten. Eugene died January 20, 1923 of Asthma, Myocarditis and other
complications aggravated by his mining activities. He was 69 years old and was
buried in the Green Mountain Cemetery, in Boulder, Colorado. His wife, Ino,
lived in the home until her death in 1941 and is buried beside her husband. The
property had been sold to the University of Colorado for $100.00 and is now part
of the Folsum Football Stadium and practice field.
