Ironically, telluride minerals are essentially unknown in the famous Telluride district, San Miguel County, the name having been derived from sylvanite's supposed discovery early in the history of the district in part of what became the famous Smuggler- Union mine.
Interestingly, the Sylvanite district in Hidalgo County was named as a result of the misidentification of what ultimately proved to be a mixture of tellurobismuthite and gold, with sylvanite remaining unknown \in the district.
These include ores of the Republic district, Ferry County; the Wolverine prospect, Okanogan County; the Bonanza Queen mine at Silverton, Snohomish County; the Beecher mine at Orient, Stevens County; and the New Light mine, Whatcom County, Washington (Cannon 1975); gold tellurides are also reported from the Mount Baker and Slate Creek districts in Whatcom County.
