To profit from the mine, located near Aspen, Colorado, she engaged in many other battles with lawyers and capitalists who tried to wrest her ore away. Mrs. Captain Jack contributed to the myth of the West by crowning herself as the 'Mining Queen of the Rockies' as she entertained tourists at her roadhouse near Colorado Springs.
