Anchoria Leland Mine, Seen From Below, Looking Southeast
Unknown
To me, getting this view felt like a bonus, even if it as an image is not a very informative and nice one as it is sadly somewhat faded as bought photograph and the scene itself is not showing much. I been able to work around the less pleasant view part and got some details better visible. Dating this image is not easy, I can assume it comes from same source as two other images listed by seller, and they were in a timeframe of around April 1901 to September 1903. This view however, by the showing of a single trolly pole and overhead wire along the old tight balloon loop below the Anchoria-Leland shafthouse, date this to be before September 1903; as by middle of that month, the original High Line was closed, and trolley cars ran over the Short Line mainline instead. But, having only this pole makes this photo have up to 6-year span for when someone unknown photographed this image, as I have to go back to the start of this line up Gold Hill from around December 1897.
I do not know who that man sitting among the rock near middle top/down on the right half of the image, but most likely he is linked to the photographer in some form. The rails is not visible, making me think the roadbed is somewhat sunk into the ground in this area, and I was making the mental impression this was at the lower part of the loop, but looking at other known images I have from near this area, I now know this is showing part of the upper leg after the loop, and had the photographer turned 180-degree and even 90-degrees to the right, I would have been very pleased with views telling me more about this area!
I did procure the colored version of this image, if that is what you see, 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.

Mary McKinney Mine, Anaconda & Gold Hill as Seen From North Slope Guyot Hill
Unknown
To me this view is informative and nice, even if it sadly is quite faded as bought photograph. Thankfully, I been able to work around most of that and got some details better visible. Dating this image is helped by not only the showing of the Low Line grade running alongside Gold Hill, but also with the mainline Short Line higher up on same hill. The Short Line grade date this photographed to be after March 23, 1901, as that is the date of the last spike ceremony in the Cripple Creek yard. Also, the showing of the town of Anaconda says this is before the 1904 fire that wiped out most of town. But, using the high-resolution scan at 2400dpi, I also see trolly poles along the old tight balloon loop below the Anchoria-Leland shafthouse, and with the lack of poles along the Short Line mainline, dating this to be before September 1903; as by middle of that month, the original High Line was closed and trolley cars ran over the Short Line mainline partly seen in this view. All this gives a max of 2.5-year span for when someone unknown photographed this image.
The photographer stood on the northern slope of Guyot Hill, looking towards the Anchoria-Leland mine on western slope of Gold Hill, that mine is seen against the sky about 1/3 in from right-hand side. Just to the right of the large shafthouse of the Anchoria-Leland, the Lexington Orehouse and trestle connecting it to the mine surface building are seen. Slightly lower on what is southern slope of Gold Hill, another long shafthouse are seen, with a high smokestack, sadly for me, I have not been able to pinpoint if this is yet another shaft on the Gold King lode claim, or part of the Tom Gough lode claim, as the maps I have access to at the time of this writing (Dec. 27, 2023) gives me no definite answer to share here.
In fact, this photo has many smaller workings on this side of Gold Hill shown, many small dumps, smaller structures, and a nightmare to ID all of them at this time, but interesting for me to have, as this photo comes close to what the old 1903ish topomap from USGS shows.
Further to the right and lower on the hill is seen most of, but where another slope is hiding lower parts of the structures, we see the surface structures belonging to the E. Porter Gold King operations on the east end of the Gold King lode, that is seen about 1/5 in from right-hand side and about 1/5 down from top side.
Going down the hill about 1/5 in from right-hand side, about 2/6 from top, there is a small structure showing on what I think of as the east end of the Superior lode claim, but again, there are so many claims and holes in the ground that it is hard to track it all.
About 1/3 down from top alongside the right-hand side, there are more mine operations seen just below the Low Line grade, which seems to be various lessees on Mary McKinney ground. One is known as Howard shaft, both on the 1903ish topomap and the 1906 USGS Principal Underground Workings map.
Further left, about 1/3 in from right-hand side and about 3/7 down from top are the Virginia M. mine structures; a hoisthouse and a head/gallows-frame, where one of the posts is perfectly extended up from the pole on top of the Mary McKinney shafthouse. Further to the right again seems to be the location of an open cut in the ground that has appeared on some images about the Anaconda Mine/Tunnel operations, there are two dark spots on top of each other with a small dump in front of the lower hole, just above the Midland Terminal cut into the hillside.
The M.T. depot structure is shown just to the left of the prominent fir tree at almost edge right-hand side, and the town of Anaconda is stretching down Squaw Gulch at left.
About dead center of the image is the Florence & Cripple Creek Station structure, with a large orebin across the track tucked in between various cribbed walls, and the larger and still standing in the 1950's – but alas gone by time I visited area in 1998 – orehouse of the Anaconda Mine. The old Blacksmith shop structure of the Anaconda, which survived at that location till the Open Pit Mining Company of modern times could destroy this area as well, in the hunt for gold and other minerals to earn money.
The Mary McKinney large shafthouse and orehouse in combination are seen in foreground right, with the town of Anaconda spreading out in the gulch below it at left and right. A 3-passenger car F. & C. C. train is coming into Anaconda station, enroute to Florence. The hillside below and above that train has adit mines seen spotted here and there.
In the gulch about center right-left in the upper half of the image, there is a head/gallows-frame and a small hoisthouse seen just to the left of the road about 2/5 down from top, that is the marked Superior Shaft on the 1903ish topomap, while only the dump area is seen of the marked Fauntleroy shaft of same topomap is seen behind a tree in the gulch and another shaft on the Little Fauntleroy lode claim is seen with its large smokestack, hoist-and work house connected to a head/gallows-frame closer to the M.T. mainline, these surface structures are clearly seen in the photo, encircled by a road and with a dump area towards the M.T. low trestle.
Further up the before mention gulch, just below the Low Line, about 1/3 down from top and almost at center sideways is the shafthouse of the Alamo mine, also marked on the 1903ish topomap. Further to the left, across the gulch from that mine, is a large tent town I have no idea what was there for, I count 5 large house formed tents in a row, then a large in form of long row butted together end to end, before a single tent ends/closing the 'town' at the lower butt-end of this flatter ground. Lots of smaller dumps say there have been lot of exploring here but lack of structures tells the story of not striking rich.
Up on Gold Hill again, above the Low Line roadbed, there is seen a structure at the Hillside mine, has the looks of a hoisthouse, but I fail to see a visible headframe, so it is most likely a shafthouse covering an incline shaft as per 1906 USGS Principal Underground Workings map. This claim, the Hill Side lode, had a whopping 11-Shafts and 2-Cuts marked out on its 2.41 Acres large Plat Map dated February 15, 1899! That map also had an Engine House structure showing just to the left of where the working shaft of 1906 is and that is also near/at the location of a marking on the 1903ish topomap of a mine here.
Moving up on Gold Hill against the sky and a bit more to the right, another narrow but high shafthouse is poking into the sky, this is the shafthouse of the Lillian Leland lode claim, hard to tell if it is the one on the Discovery Shaft or to the east of that, as while the Plat Map of that lode has only the Discovery Shaft marked, the 1903ish topomap has two more shaft markings on it, so which of those three the shafthouse is on, I do not know.
Moving back down the southwest slope of Gold Hill to below the Short Line mainline again, there is visible a smaller structure among the dumps, but at this time I struggle too much figuring out which lode claim this is at, I think it is on the Moonlight lode, but it could also be on the Robert E. Lee lode, so, I leave this for later.
I started my text description with the location of the photographer, and I think he, most likely a he, was at the ore case/bin of the Ross lease on the Republic lode of the Mary McKinney company, as the 1906 USGS Principal Underground Workings map has a shaft marked named Ross, and it falls on the named lode claim, and the 1903ish topomap has some mine markings and a road there, which also the foreground of the photo shows in lower left.

I did procure the colored version of this image, if that is what you see, 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.

Electric Power in Cripple Creek District. - Trolley Line Through Mining Properties
Edgar A. Yelton [1898]
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 is a view on Gold Hill, showing a meet of two Trolley cars on the original High Line, just above the sharp balloon loop, which can be detected by the cut in the foreground heading out of the view at bottom right and then reappearing again about 1/3 up, still on right-hand side.
This would have made a wonderful short movie-sequence with squeaking wheel sounds due to the small diameter of the curve, had the equipment for filming such scene existed back then! The see the Trolley pass about just in-front of the photographer and then climb the grade, meet the other and the head out of view at left while the other comes down, through the sharp curve and pass the photographer and out of view at lower left would been great!
The source said this illustration shows two trolley cars passing on the double track system that extends through the section occupied by the Anchoria Leland mine. The photograph from which the cut was reproduced shows the buildings of the Anchoria in the background and conveys some idea of the rugged character of the country traversed by the trolley line.
It is the large structures in middle sideway and top view against the sky that is the before mentioned mine, while in foreground right the small operation with the head frame I am not certain about, neither am I of the other smaller mines still on right-hand side up against the sky. This as there are so many claims crossing each-other and who had what and who is a lease on a larger company operation and who is working its own claim can be a nightmare to figure out and I have so far not done that with this view!
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.

Anaconda A Mining Town In the Cripple Creek Dist.
Unknown
This is a GREAT view I JUST had to GET!!! Hopefully this is made of better paper than my 2012 edition of this card, as on that one, lots of small sort of bubbles and scan not so sharp and well. In addition there was alot of reflections in it, and, the image is way dark and do not enhance very well.
But, for the view it shows, and the areas I can see it sure beats having no such view at all!! :-)
And, this is still the first image I ever seen showing what I believe is the Anaconda Mill up on Gold Hill above the Low Line grade between the Anchoria-Leland and the Mary McKinney mine in this view!

#574; Mary McKinney Mine, Cripple Creek District
Julia Skolas
I've seen this image used three times, for this card and another postcard where there are a couple of extra millimeters visible on the right-hand side, plus I've seen it used in a postcard folder.
The view is from the railroad side of the Mary McKinney mine, showing several box cars parked on sidings nearby and at the mine itself. It also shows part of Anaconda at right-hand side about 1/3 up from bottom, the part that survived the 1904 fire, as I see no signs of structures at left side of image, and I believe there should been visible something there if the town was still there.
The tracks in the foreground belong to the Midland Terminal, but the Mary McKinney mine was once served by dual gauge as the F. & C.C was also having a spur to the mine, entering in from left-hand side, running parallel with the Shaft House to serve that and the coal bins at the power plant seen with all those smokestacks to the right of the shaft-house.
Behind the smokestacks of the Power House of the Mary McKinney you can see the Ore House of the Anaconda Mine, located down by the F. & C.C. yard in Anaconda, but image is too bad to really make out any details. Which is sad, as up on Gold Hill seen in the background, there is seen the Shaft House of the Anchoria-Leland about 1/4 in from right-hand side and about same from top, with the Ore-House and trestle of the Lexington Mine seen just to the right of the Anchoria-Leland.
Or even more sad, there is visible a mill on the hill side above the Low Line grade, seen about 1/3 down from top and 1/7 in from right-hand side, a mill I believe might be known as Anaconda Mill, but I might be mistaken where that mill was located as info been a little scarce, but it fit the location of west slope Gold Hill.

The Anchoria Leland Mine Near Top of Gold Hill
Unknown
I wish this was a better photo but sadly being from a printed source this version of this shot by unknown photographer is not good, but it sure helps that it was a large size filling the whole height of the page it came from in the New Year 1903 issue of the newspaper Cripple Creek Times. The whole page, short text gives me this is more an advertisement type of text feel then an actual article about the company.
View is of the massive Shaft house of the Anchoria-Leland mine on the west slope of Gold Hill, taken from the more south side, and as the text say, this would grab the attention from anyone coming down the hill on the Short Line or using the Trolley system to and from Victor. Based on the angle of the view it can't be far from the Short Line track, but I am pretty sure that if the photographer had turned 180-degree it would be about the same distance to the actual track as there is up to the shaft, except it would be looking down and not up, wish I could have done just that, turn I mean.
I did procure the colored version of this image. Source was greyish, or in common speech black & white. Used an online service and tweaked and worked with image to get what looks best to my eyes at the moment.

Gold Hill Mines, including the Half Moon & the Anchoria-Leland Mines, and Part of the Original High Line Trolley Line
Unknown
This view of Gold Hill mines are taken from Globe Hill slope below, near the Gold Pass mine, and have captured many of the early mine operations on this part of Gold Hill and hence show the massive amount of mining that went on among the trees. The claims in this area are a confusing mass of crisscrossing each other and I do not know the names of all structures seen, sadly.
In this scene, about 1/3 from top the original High Line roadbed is seen climbing Gold Hill, below the marked Half Moon Mine, making that one easy to spot near upper left. Near upper right it is also easy to recognize the large shaft house of the Anchoria-Leland Mine, but the two shaft houses in front of the Anchoria-Leland is more complicated.
I think one of them, the upper one, is the Mattie L. aka Jefferson mine, maybe the other is the City View mine? Also the Chance, or Anchor might be candidates for those shaft houses, but we also have that small Head Frame operation nearer the track, with a shed over the hoist…
Below the High Line roadbed there are also two shaft houses, one I am certain is the Geneva mine, but one might also be the Jefferson's Co. Mattie L. mine. Other claims are the T.E.M.O.N.J.I., Nada, Tarascon, but also Foggy, Good Enough, Gamma are lodes in this area, and more, so for now (Oct. 23, 2021), this is what I have.

The Abe Lincoln Mine Marinette M. Co.
Unknown
This is an early view of the Abe Lincoln Mine in Poverty Gulch, at this time owned and operated by the Marinette Mining Company, organized by the Arnold brothers. The Abe Lincoln was located May 9, 1895 by E. S. Arnold, a United States deputy mineral surveyor, and his two brothers, Ralph R. and Joe C.
This according to text in a book from 1896, which provided this image. Being such a source, the quality is not that great, but I think it came out as good as I can expect it. In this view there are two shafts, the one with the larger Shaft house which has filled out its own level ground out from the original ridge, seen about 1/3 in from left and top. And the No. 2 shaft, which is lower, smaller, has a Hoist house carved into the hillside and a visible Headframe, seen about 1/6 in from right-hand side. Situated between them, at bottom of Poverty Gulch is the Ore house, but soon there will be a bigger ore house directly linked to the main shaft house.
In the foreground some of the houses, structures of Poverty Gulch are seen as roofs only and one front of a typical 'wild west' type belonging to some unknown business I assume. In the background is Gold Hill with lots of smaller dumps and at top the large Shaft house of the Anchoria-Leland is easy to recognize!

Abe Lincoln Mine Cripple Creek
Unknown
Sadly, being of type Snapshot this image is not the best one around in terms of quality such as sharpness and bring forward what hides in the more darker parts of the image, but the overall scene is quite a nice one, and a workable look at the Surface Structures of the Abe Lincoln Mine in Poverty Gulch with Gold Hill in the background.
I do not see any signs of the Short Line Roadbed, but I do see a Trolley high up on the high Line, I think it is coming down the line, but the image quality is not good enough to find the Trolley roof pole and see where it is raised up to the wire to tell for sure the direction. But, this helps date this image to be from sometime between January 3, 1898 (when regular Trolley Service to Victor started) and middle of September 1903 when the Original High Line section of the track where the Trolley is located was closed/abandoned.

Anchoria Leland Mine, Cripple Creek District, Colo.
Unknown
I have the known postcard versions of this view marked as a Tomer Jacob Hileman photo, but I am unable to find my source for that, so I think that I might be mistaken in that credit to him as a photographer. So, I would say that the image source is from an unknown photographer, at least till I find my source, or a card view with his name on it. By time of writing this [13.04.2018] I know about 5 editions of this colored/painted view, three of them postcards with a millimeter or two differences on one of the sides, and two of them I have in postcard folders.
The view itself is of the massive Shaft House of the Anchoria Leland Mine, up on Gold Hill, with a dump trestle in the foreground and partly seen roof of the Ore-house on the right-hand side in the foreground. I have a little bit of hard time understanding the 1896, 1900 and 1908 Sanborn maps showing this mine structure, as the north direction changes on the 1908 map, and the scale of the structure changes as well, but mostly I think this structure was more or less looking like this from at least 1896 till passed 1908, as it don't show up on the 1919 Sanborn map from the District.

The Anchoria Leland Mine, on Gold Hill
Julia Skolas
This view towards the Anchoria Leland Mine on Gold Hill is marked as a Julia Skolas photo, but I saw on my 1200dpi scan that there is some text that is scratched out in the dump part below the small cabin about 1/5 up from bottom. I can't read it though, the job was very well done, but it either hold just a text info about this scene, or possible another name as I've seen it happen before, and I am a little unsure if this is really a Julia Skolas photo or if she only got the rights for it. I wonder this due to the fact I can see the Trolley hanging wire in foreground right, and this part of the loop on the original High Line that was below the Anchoria Leland mine was abandoned in 1903, but Julia Skolas did not arrive in the District before about 1906-1908. The sources various a little, most say 1907, one says 1906/1907 and one say 1908. Hence, I wonder a little if she took this herself or bought the rights from whoever took it a few years earlier…
Either way, it is a good view of the side of this structure, and while my card has some damages to it, it is not that severe thankfully. The Head Frame in foreground right, lower right-hand corner, is at this time of writing [06.07.2017] one of the many unknown smaller mine operations.

#11-12; Early Day Victor, Colorado Scene
Unknown
This view of Gold Hill from a street in southern Cripple Creek is mislabeled to be an early Victor scene for some unknown reason. Being this is from a printed card in a small more modern postcard folder it is not the greatest quality, but one gets an idea of the area it pictured. I've been unable to pinpoint the street in the foreground, but I think it might be the First Street, possible south Colorado Ave., but I doubt it as this don't look that far up the hill.
* Either way, about center left/right and 1/3 down from top, behind the two-story house in foreground, on get to see the north half of the Cripple Creek Sampler, located up along the M.T. roadbed, with the Short Line railroad below it, having come around the hill at right hand side. Incidentally, the original locating of the sampler was along the F. & C.C. grade seen just below the top/down center on the right-hand side, and would have been hidden by the same two-story house.
* About 1/3 down from top, and 1/3 from left-hand side, a long structure will be seen, that is the Trolley Barn for the High/Low Lines of the Electric System of the Short Line railroad. The big dump just right of the Trolley barn I think is part of the Cripple Creek & Gold Hill Deep Mining & Development Company operations.
* Straight up from the chimney on the before mention 2-story house there is a big dump that I think is part of the Midget operations.
* About center left/right and not fully 1/6 down from top, above the before mention Midget, is the characteristic shape of the large Shaft-House of the Anchoria-Leland mine seen against the sky at top of Gold Hill.

Moon Anchor Mine - Issued by C. C. & Gold Hill Ry. Co.
Unknown
Sadly, a not that great printed image of the Moon-Anchor mine structure on Gold Hill. One can see the shape and count windows, and that there are several structures seen here, but not much of details can be seen. I think the smaller peaked roof structure seen just below the ore-house part of the Moon-Anchor is the old Anchor Shaft House.
In the background, just left of the two large smokestacks, the shaft house of the Anchoria-Leland is seen poking up from behind a dump, and the card is preprinted with 190 so it is made from 1900 onward, and possible the image dated then to 1899 or early 1900.

J.E. Stimson [1903]
  This image I've also found on the Internet at the Wyoming State Archives Photo Collection, dated as 1903 and photo by J.E. Stimson, which was a photographer of Cheyenne, Wyoming it seems. Sadly, that image is a thumbnail type only but to my eyes they are identical.
  The view itself is of a printed bad quality type showing an overlook over roof tops along Myers Avenue heading into Poverty Gulch below the trestles of the Midland Terminal Wye crossing it, with a freight train either leaving or coming into town, no engine can be seen.
  Can't identify any signs on neither copies of the image that I know about, but I do see the Midland Sampler about 1/3 down from top and about 2/5 in from right-hand side.
  The image Title mentioned Abe Lincoln mine is seen almost at left-hand edge and about 1/3 down from top, with a large dump heading out towards the right of the structures.
  On top of Gold Hill, straight up from the Midland Sampler, is seen the iconic Anchoria-Leland Mine, so easy to pick it out along the skyline.

Sunrise From Cripple Creek, Colorado [View Towards Top of Gold Hill From Near M.T. Station]
Edgar A. Yelton [20.09.1899]
Not the best photo, hand-colored and not very sharp in the first place. Blurred edges left and right, quite many scratches and damages to the photo itself, but still a good idea on how Gold Hill looked around September 1899 when this photo was taken. There is handwriting saying Copyright 1899 by E.A. Yelton, Photographer at 357 E. Bennett Ave., with what appears to be written Sunday Sep. 20-99 below there, but September 20, 1899 was a Wednesday, August same year has a Sunday 20th, but I am not sure what to trust, the date or the day, hence I went for the date and thought the Day was just a calculating error from whoever wrote the date.
* Near lower left-hand bottom/corner is the Cripple Creek Depot structure of Midland Terminal.
* Near lower right-hand side is seen part of the Midland Sampler with a string of boxcars in front of, and its Office Structure east of the Sampler building.
* Up on top of Gold Hill, is seen the Half Moon Mine structure, nearly 2/5 in from left-hand side and a small bit more than 2/5 up from bottom. Painted reddish and seen partly sideways, with some lighter shades of some image damages poking into the sky from it.
* Further to the right of the Half Moon is the structures of the Anchoria Leland Mine seen about middle of view sideways and a small bit more than 2/5 up from bottom. It's look make it an easy mine to spot I think.
* Even further to the right, a little lower than ridgeline of Gold Hill, is seen the Moon-Anchor Mine, a little bit more than 1/3 in from right-hand side and about 3/8 up from bottom.
Several other shaft houses are seen, but their names escape my memory for the time being, neither them, or any other the structures in this view, is really useful for any other purposes then to see where on God Hill they was located, hard to use them for a modelling purpose for instance and there is not much details to see.
