Dumping an Ore Car - At the Bogart Mine on Bull Hill
Horace Swartley Poley
Image is not marked as Bogart mine, but, comparing this to the image market as Bogart Mine you see the same darker odd shaped thing on the dump towards us, and the same whitish spot on the hillside in the background just left of the dump. In addition, the tree just beside the built up mine deck, and the logs making up the front wall, all this leads to one discovery, it is the Bogart mine dump!
Then I find same image in another 1896 book, and there it is marked as "Dump of the Bogart", so, I was right, which I knew I was... :-)
View shows a man in work cloths dumping some sort of a wheel barrow at the end of a trestle unto a large pile of rocks, while another man – stylish in cloths - is looking at him from under the head frame. The photo found on the DPL site has a little bit more view to the left.

The Bogart Mine, on Bull Hill.
Horace Swartley Poley
Due to this view appearing in an 1896 book, it predates any railroad lines in this particular area, later the High Line would pass near this mine, just not sure how close, doubtful it would have been visible even if it been built. Image itself shows an early type of mine, a small hoist house and an open air (not inside a structure) type of a little head frame built upon a scaffold of logs as a crib wall. The space between the logs was filled up with dump rock from the hole they dug, making a flat base to work on. Later, as seen here, they added a trestle to a second dump ground and hopefully later, an orehouse or ore-bin – but that is not seen here. The photo found on the DPL site has a little bit more view to the left.
