The Boulder News of 17 Apr 1874 is a long article about Hanson Snyder - too long for this space..... Part of the article reads: ' Hanson Snyder brought his young family with him. When they got to Denver, the possessions were divided with Mr. Mullen and Snyder went to Central City. He brought in the cordwood to the quartz milles until he almost lost all again. He went to Montana to gulch dig in the fall of 1963. He struck a claim but became ill with mountain fever and had to sell the claim. He stayed there three years. He then came to Valmont in Colorado where Mr. Donnelly gave him a suit of clothes to wear. He brought his family from Central City to Valmont where he worked for Donnelly. That next spring they went to Ward and worked on Indiana Gulch. He built bridges on the Niwot Left Hand road and hauled wood to the Ni-Wot mine. He started to raise cattle, buying 168 head of Holstein. In 1874 he was trading in cattle, had 700 acres of valuable land, had one of the best houses in Boulder, half of the Gold Hill toll road and money invested in the States and money on hand.'
