Another ghost town. Got muggled so not using the original (wonderful) spot. Check in hints.
Once (in 1907) a town, by the name of Cyanide existed just across this river. Foundations are still visable of the four thousand people who lived there, on todays prison grounds. This is the remains of the bridge that crossed the river. The street(Cyanide)began where it is now and entered the town of Cyanide. It continued on and looped around into Canon City, continuing on through Lincon Park. Grand View was previously known as Cyanide. That road ends where your can find it today, in Prospect Heights.
Cyanide was the biggest gold reduction site in the state. Ore was crushed and screened in 8 plants in and around this area. A fellow named Phillip Argall profected the process which is still in use today. He was also the first ever, to introduce the 8 hour work shift which attracted a better class worker, reduced turnover, and increased production per man.
Back in those old days cyanide was a wonderful product. Our generation knows it for the evil that has been used for. Found in either gas or crystal form, millions of Jews were killed from its gas during WW2. It's used in all prison gas chambers and is the secret weapon that wipes out enemies in war, a deadly gas.

No luck on this one, it was a cursory look but no obvious cash. Too many great places to hide something but no obvious cash. Too many great places to hide something although I suspect it may have been muggled.

I do not know what size(or shape) cache I should have been looking for though. I looked everywhere using the hint.
