    Abstract
    Postcard showing a prospector and his burro standing in front of the buildings at the Matchless Mine in Leadville, Colorado. The citation on photograph NMHFM-231 identifies this person as Frank Gimlet (aka Frank E. Gimlett), the hermit of Arbor Villa (i.e. Arbourville). Horace Tabor purchased the Matchless Mine for $117,000 in 1879. Rich silver deposits were discovered at the Matchless in 1880, making Tabor wealthy. Poor investments and the 1893 silver market crash eventually depleted Tabor's fortune and he died penniless in 1899; the Matchless passed to other owners. His widow, Baby Doe Tabor, tried unsuccessfully to get funding to repurchase the Matchless Mine. Unable to acquire the Mine, she received the owner's permission to live in a cabin next to the mine shaft. She lived there alone in poverty until her death in 1935.
