根据下列材料,回答题
Among characters of Leadville’S golden age were H.A.W.Tabor and his second wife,Eliza-bem McCourt.Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the
old West.He went to Kansas in l855.Perhaps he was lured by rumors of fortunes to be made in Colorado mines.So a few vears later he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch,which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen.“Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here.”he said.
As it tumed out.it was silver that was to make Leadville’S fortune and wealth.Tabor knew little about mining himself.SO he opened a general store.It was his custom t0“grubstake”prospective miners to supply them with food and supplies,or“grub”,while they looked for ore,in retum for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered.He did this for a number of years,but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.
Finallv one day in the year l878,two miners came in and asked for“grub”.Tabor had decided to quit supplying it for having lost too much money that way.They were persistent,however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them.“0h help yourself.One more time won’t make any difference.”he said and went on selling shoes and hats.The two miners took$17 worth of supplies,in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings.They picked a barren place and began to di9.After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver.Tabor bought the shares of the other two men,and SO the mine belonged to him alone.This mine,known as the “Pittsburgh Mine,”made$1,300,000 for Tabor in retum for his$17 investment.
Later Tabor bought’the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for $117,000.This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pittsburgh,yielding$35,000 worth of silver per day at one time.Leadville grew.Tabor became its first mayor,and later became lieutenant governor of the state.

Leadville got its name for the following reasons EXCEPT_____. A.because Tabor became its leading citizen
B.because great deposits of lead is expected to be found there
C.because it could bring good fortune to Tabor
D.because it was renamed
