Hugh F. Watts came to Boulder in 1897, and the following year married Claribel H. Austin, member of a pioneer Boulder family. It is said that his assays were accepted without question by miners and mill operators. He was frequently called in to umpire disputes between the two as to the value of ores, not only locally but throughout the state.
