When Horace Tabor, was forty-seven years old, he bought the "Matchless Mine" from a few poor miners at a cost of $117,000, it was called "Tabor's Folly by his associates, since it had been traded and bartered so many times before for non-production. Nevertheless, after Tabor sunk a second shaft to a depth of 150 feet, a very rich body of silver ore was discovered. Soon the Matchless Mine was netting some $2,000 a day for Horace Tabor and his beloved wife, Baby Doe.

Through all these years of luxury and happiness, the Matchless was the pride and joy of the Tabor's. It seemed that no matter how much was spent the Matchless would replace it. Tabor became synonymous with silver and Leadville. His silver carried him first to Mayor of Leadville, then to Lieutenant Governor of Colorado, and even to the United States Senate. Tabor is remembered in history as a "silver baron", never as the placer miner who once sweated over a shovel in the mud of California Gulch for a pittance of gold per day.

As the years rolled on, Tabor's failure to anticipate silver dropping along with poor investments and the repeal of the Sherman Silver Act of 1893, claimed his entire $9,000,000.00+ fortune but he held onto the Matchless Mine.

Stories claim that on his death bed Tabor uttered, "Hold on to the Matchless...it will pay millions again." For the remaining 36 years of life, Baby Doe Tabor held steadfast to the belief that some day the Matchless Mine would produce again.

In March, 1935, the final chapter of this story was written. Alone and in poverty, the aged widow, Baby Doe was found frozen in her beloved home-The Matchless Mine in Leadville, Colorado.
