H. H. Barbee Dies After Long Illness
---
Pioneer Mining Man- Helped to Develop Cripple Creek Camp
---
H.H. Barbee, 64, prominent mining and real estate man and a pioneer resident of the Pikes Peak region, died yesterday afternoon at his home, 114 East Columbia St. Mr. Barbee had been ill for more than three years. Funeral arrangements have not been made. Mr. Barbee was well known in Colorado and other mining regions as one of the most successful and extensive mining promoters in the country. He came to this state in 1889, and since then gave his entire attention to the real estate business with special referance to mineral properties and to mining on a large scale. He was born in 1862 in Buchanan County, Mo., and after leaving school, farmed in that state until he decided to change his residence to Colorado. Soon after his arrival in Colorado he helped to open up the Cripple Creek district and promoted a number of the largest and most successful interests in that state, among them being the Cripple Creek Columbia Mining company. He opened this property and when the hour was appropriate for the enterprise, formed a consolidation with the El Paso Consolidated. He has been heavily interested in gold mining, among them being the Bonine Nell and the Solitare of the Cripple Creedk district, the Priness Alice, the Jennie Sample and the Gould of the Boulder district. At one time he was the largest individual stockholder in the Gould.
One of his last ventures was the organization of the New York Mining and Development company, with a capital of $3,000,000, whose primary development was in Jamestown, Boulder county. Mr. Barbee was backed in this enterprise by a number of wealthy New York captalists. Mr. Barbee also was largely interested in the Beacon Hill Ajax company until it was purchased by the El Paso company.
Mr. Barbee also was heavily interested in real estate in Colorado and Kansas. In 1905 he made one of his largest real estate transactions when he took over, the Pomeroy estate in Kansas. He is survived by his wife, two sons, S.K. Barbee and H. E. Barbee, and two daughters, Miss Helene Barbee and Mrs. R.H. Carrick of Colorado Springs. Funeral arrangements are being made by the Decker and Son Undertaking company.
