When you stand in the parking lot you have a breathtaking view of this mine that was the first locations of mining claims, in what is known as the Creede mining district that where made by John C. Mackenzie and several of his companions. During the spring and summer of 1891 the famous Amethyst Vein was discovered. Mackenzie located and staked the "Commodore" claim.
The Amethyst Vein follows the base of the cliff to the east of the mine buildings which are located on the five different levels of the commodore. This is one of the greatest silver mines on earth, ore production spanned from 1891 to 1976. There are almost 200 miles of tunnels and underground workings lying within the mine. The Commodore is the southern most mine lying on the Amethyst Vein.
