August 16, 1913. A flood on Kinney Run [Kenneys Creek] was caused by a cloudburst [estimated 4 inches of rain in~ hour]. About $10,000 damage was sustained by homes, businesses, and bridges on Ford Street (VanHorn, 1972).

September 6, 1913. Small floods occurred in several gulches in Golden. The railroad tracks west of Golden were covered by tons of rock and sand at Magpie Gulch [north side of Clear Creek, SW-4 sec. 28, T. 3 S., R. 70 W.] (VanHorn, 1972).

March 14, 1914. A large deposit of bitumen-soaked sandstone was found near Turkey Creek south of Morrison (VanHorn, 1972).

May 2, 1914. At 4:00 a.m. Tuesday morning a few thousand tons of rock slumped several yards and covered up the access road at the Tramway Quarry [SE 1/4 sec. 22. T. 3 S., R. 70 W.] on North Table Mountain. Heavy snow and rain have softened the "clay and ash." The ditch company and the railroad experienced much trouble in previous years when great sections of hillside moved slowly down toward Clear Creek (VanHorn, 1972).
