Title on Image:
Roanoke Mine.

Description:
Source of image was not in good quality sadly, but it is what it is, I have worked with it as best as I could. This view is one such example of having to work with what I have. It shows an Electric Hoist in use in the District.

The source said this is the hoisting apparatus in use on the Los Angeles mine of which Senator B. Clark Wheeler is superintendent. The electric motor is of 30 horsepower capacity and was manufactured by the Westinghouse company. By means of a hoist, supplied by the Denver Engineering Works, it raises in an inclined shaft a bucket carrying 1,000 pounds from a depth of 700 feet.

I did procure the colored version of this image as I think it is nicer. Source is gray-toned, or in common speech black & white. Used an online service and tweaked and worked with image to get what looks best to my eyes for the moment.
